GADGET GIZMO REVIEW.....................Micromax Canvas Knight 2

GADGET GIZMO REVIEW Micromax Canvas Knight 2

PRICE Rs 16,999
The first Canvas Knight impressed us with stylish design and the Knight 2 improves upon it further. It has a slim, unibody design with metal frame and glass front and rear. Note that the power and volume buttons are on the left side of the phone unlike the usual placement on top or on the right side. If you're switching from another Android phone, it will take a couple of days to get used to this layout.
While the 5-inch amoled HD display is gorgeous with excellent viewing angles, we didn't like the thick bezels. It makes the phone almost as large as some with a 5.5-inch displays. Plus, the Android buttons are on the screen, so the bezel at the bottom is a complete waste of space.
Day-to-day performance is great. The octa core Snapdragon 615 with 2GB RAM keeps things running smoothly and allows for seamless switching between running apps too. However, as expected the 2,230mAh battery struggles to last one full day.With constant data connectivity , mix use of multimedia, calls and social networks, the phone would regularly be dead by evening.
We weren't expecting much from the camera, but the Knight 2 surprised us with the camera performance. Images from the rear camera came out to be detailed with minimal noise and rich colours. Low light shots had visible noise, but they were still good enough for sharing on social network or whatsapp. Front camera also took good images outdoors as well as indoors.
The Knight 2 is the first smartphone from Micromax with 4G connectivity support. In our opinion, the Knight 2 is amongst the better options in its price range and is future ready.However, it will face steep competition from the Xioami Mi 4 that is now available for `14,999. Keep in mind though that the Mi 4 does not have 4G or expandable storage.
