While I was inclined on going for a Samsung Android smartphone, don't know why but I decided to buy a Micromax Canvas 2 at the last minute. For the price I paid, it was a fabulous deal, as compared to any of the similar Samsung models available. The only thing I was worried about was the After-Sales service that a lot of people were not too happy about on various web forums. But I decided to take the risk. You don't get a feature-rich phone everyday, for this price. It's a great phone to have, and is definitely an eye-catcher at my workplace. People always mistake it for a Samsung. Good screen resolution, decent audio output, fast response, neat UI all make it desirable.
ReplyDeleteAndroid apps on the Play Store are great as usual.
The only fault I found that the FM radio suddenly stopped working after 2 weeks; but since I dont use it much, willing to live without it.
