Meant for the multi-tasking, the Micromax Canvas 5 is quick to perform
Bangalore, December 14 2015: If you are constantly hooked to your smart phone and use it to  perform multiple functions on daily basis, it is important to have  good RAM capacity. Smartphone makers these days are mostly sprucing up the camera resolution, screen size, etc. But not many concentrate on the RAM. Well, there are expensive high-end devices that offer up to 4GB RAM, but rarely a mid-range device. The Micromax Canvas 5 is one such device that features an increased RAM within  a modest budget.
Powered by  a 1.3 GHz Octa Core processor  with 3GB RAM, this smart phone is great  for juggling multiple tasks. You can quickly navigate through various functions and apps, without any lags. Also, you can use this phone for longer duration and it won’t heat up soon.
The Canvas 5 sports a 13 megapixels primary camera and a 5 megapixels front camera. The primary camera comes with standard functions like LED flash, auto-focus, night mode, etc. The selfie camera comes with a few beauty editing options like skin smoothening, sharpening and eye enlargement. There is also a picture-in-picture feature, which lets you click images using both the cameras in one frame. The picture qualities of both the cameras are pretty decent, but we expect more clarity and sharpness from the 13 megapixels primary camera.
The 5.2 inch HD display with 1920×1080 IPS screen lets you view crisp and bright images. Design-wise, the Canvas 5 features a plastic body with a faux leather casing. With 8.5 mm thickness, this device is light and easy to use with one hand.
 It comes with a dual-micro SIM  slots at the rear, with non removable 2900 mAh battery. It has a 16 GB internal storage, expandable up to 64 GB and supports 4G connectivity.
The Micromax Canvas 5 is now available for Rs 11,999. We think that this is an ideal device that combines multitasking capabilities, decent features within a reasonable  budget. - V. Sudhakshina
