Micromax A116 Canvas HD Review

Micromax A116 Canvas HD is the first total HD phone of Micromax company and it has got best response than any other HD phones in that price range.Micromax A116 Canvas HD is the successor to the company's popular budget phablet (large screen phones that are considered to be a phone-tablet hybrid), the A110 Canvas 2.Let's get into it whether this phone has a worth of spending money from our wallet.
Box contains following Accessories

Screensize and Camera
The 5 inch display supports an amazing resolution of 1280×720 pixels (293.72ppi). The viewing angles are really good and I think it does comes with some level of scratch resistant protection just like the A110. The touch is very smooth, in fact better than what I have experienced on the Micromax A110. There is light, Gsensor and proximity sensors. There is no magnetic sensor.
the camera of 8MP resolution can not only record videos in 1080p resolution (3gp video format) but also play it smoothly without any lags. The auto focus is good. There is no panorama option though. When using the video mode the subject gets a bit closer (zoom in).There is LED flash support and a front 2MP camera for video chat.
Battery and Android Version
The phone comes with a 2,000mAh battery, and based on our experience, it will just about last you a full day.Charging is faster via charger. At 93% I got the green light but on the handset its still said charging. I kept it on charger for some more time and it reached 100%.
The handset sails on the Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 OS.For further upgradation you have to check with Micromax Customer Center.
Processor and Memory
The Canvas HD is powered by the MediaTek MT6589 quad-core SoC. This is made up of four ARM Cortex-A7 CPUs running at 1.2GHz and a PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. The SoC is fabricated using the 28nm process, so it should sip power rather than gulp it down. The chipset also houses the baseband radios, so there’s no need for a second chip.
 It has 1GB RAM onboard, and PowerVR SGX544MP chip for processing graphics. There is 4GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 32GB via a microSD card.
The handset is powerful and comes with 1GB RAM. I think it should easily play many high end games. The only issue I see the that the apps / games are stored on the internal storage
Connectivity and Additional Features
The phone dialer does not have the video call button and you need to browse the contacts, select one and you will find the video call icon. The in call speaker is really good, loud and clear. The loud speaker is also loud and clear. This handset supports up to 21Mbps 3G speed (depends on the network ).
The SIM 1 (on call) and then used another phone to call on SIM 2 but could not reach it. I think its dual standby mode and not dual active.
There is 3G, Wi-Fi with hotspot, Bluetooth with tethering, micro USB port with USB tethering and 3.5mm jack. In settings, user profile there is an option to enhance sound output via earphone.
