Micromax Canvas Win W092 Review

Microsoft has partnered with India based vendors to announce Windows Phone based smartphones. Now, Micromax has managed to be one of the firms that has unleashed couple of Windows Phone smartphones to tap on to the entry-level and mid-range market segment. The lineup of these smartphones is named Canvas Win. Let us take a look at the specifications of the Canvas Win W092 smartphone in detail.

Screensize and Camera
The display unit of the Micromax Canvas Win W092 is a 4 inch capacitive displaypanel housing a resolution of 480×800 pixels. While the resolution appears to be low, we cannot expect more from a phone in the sub Rs 7,000 price bracket. Also, the other budget smartphones in this price range come with similar specifications matching up with this latest entrant.
The phone packs in an 5MP rear camera with LED flash and a 0.3MP VGA front camera. Again, Micromax brings in a differentiated advantage against several budget Lumias which do not feature front camera or flash. The camera is the major difference between the two Canvas Win smartphones.
Battery and Windows Version
The battery ticking inside it is a 1,500 mAh battery that may appear to be slightly small, but it should be modest enough for the specifications of the Canvas Win W092. It is believed that this battery will deliver a decent backup for a day under mixed usage.
Micromax Canvas Win W092 is equipped with Windows Version of 8.1,which brings a slew of new features and additions to the Windows Phone platform.
Processor and Memory
The Canvas Win W092 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz and packs in 1GB RAM. The specifications are identical to the Canvas Win W121, and quite great for a budget phone. The 1GB RAM is a great choice since some of the budget Lumias include only 512MB RAM, which keeps a lot of gaming enthusiasts or spec enthusiasts away. The 8GB internal storage with a memory card slot is decent too.So,we can expect a better performance in terms of hardware from this phone seeing its specification.
Connectivity and Additional Features
Connectivity options on the Canvas Win W092 include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Micro-USB, EDGE/GPRS, 3G and GPS.The handset supports standard connectivity features along with dual SIM functionality that will rope in prospective buyers.
The Windows Phone 8.1 camera app offers users options to tinker with various settings including selecting scenes, camera effects, ISO, white balance, contrast, saturation, flash mode and sharpness. Microsoft has added a burst mode feature to Windows Phone 8.1 for taking continuous images. The Smart Shot, Cinemagraph, and Refocus photo "lenses" are now directly accessible from the Camera Roll.

MOTO E Review

Motorola known for its high ends with very good specification,now enters into lower budget smartphones so that it can show its presence in every range of phones.The Motorola Moto E seems aimed at cashing in on the success of the Moto G, a phone which combined mid-range specs with an eye-catchingly low price tag and went on to sell by the truck-load.The approach taken by the Moto E is much the same, except that rather than being mid-range it's an entry level handset with a truly bargain bucket price.Let's check it out whether it can compete with lower end android phones of various companies like micromax,karbonnetc.

Screensize and Camera
The 4.3-inch screen has a resolution of 540x960 pixels (equating to 256 pixels per inch) -- a considerable step down from the HD resolution of the Moto G and Moto X. It's protected by Gorilla Glass though, and perfectly decent for casual surfing. If your eyes have got used to HD sharpness though, the slight blurriness of small type and lack of 'pop' from HD images can leave you feeling a bit short-changed.
The 5-megapixel camera is pretty basic. It's fixed focus, there's no flash and only really HDR and Panorama settings to play with -- it's pretty much point and shoot. Within its limitations though, picture quality isn't bad, so long as you're careful with your light and don't rush.It records video at 854x480 pixels at 30fps but there's no front-facing camera for video calls or selfies, which seems like quite a serious omission at this price point.
Battery and Android Version
 The 1980mAh battery rounds out the unapologetic low-end specifications.The battery life isn't quite "all day" as advertised, but it's not horrible considering the small size.The Moto E lasted just about 6.5 hours with auto-brightness enabled. Compare this to the Moto G, which lasts a little more than 8 hours. Certainly this isn't the most scientific test (it is the most fun, though) but it should give you a general idea of battery life. And 6.5 hours of He Man is enough for anyone. Almost. Your battery life will vary based on your network and all the things you have going on in the background, of course.
As you expect all the phones of Motorola will be equipped with latest android version and Moto E with no doubts comes with android version 4.4.2 kitkat.
Processor and Memory
The dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor is backed by 1GB RAM and while it's not as powerful as its Moto siblings, that's still a pretty powerful beast to find in a handset at this price. It makes using it a joy, as apps open quickly, and web pages load with the speed you'd expect from a considerably more expensive device. It comes with a paltry 4GB of memory on board but you can add a further 32GB via microSD card. 
Connectivity and Additional Features
Moto E equipped with Dual Sim features which supports 3G,but not 4G which is expected with Motorola as it would like sell their products all around the world.
You will get various preloaded apps and widgets which is expected with android phones.

Unfortunately for the Motorola Moto E, the screen is so-small, the camera a little below par, and the battery life isn't great. However, it's certainly very cheap, and as far as its processor, expandable memory and up-to-date Android operating system go, it's cheerful too. It might suit you well if you only have basic requirmenents of a smartphone.
