Design and Display
Considering the Canvas Amaze is a budget smartphone, it is not very surprising to see that it sports a plastic chassis. The design is appealing, however, thanks to its curved corners. It looks clean and is designed to fit in nicely into a user’s hand.
It comes with a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels which brings out better colours than what some rivals have to offer. You are in for decent wide-angle viewing since this is an IPS panel. The display is given solid protection by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Camera and Storage
It is not every time you see a 13-megapixel camera on a budget device, but that is what you will find on the rear of the Micromax Canvas Amaze. The powerful shooter features LED flash and autofocus.
Buyers would be right to expect impressive selfies from the 5-megapixel front-facing snapper as well, if size is all that matters. The phone comes with 8 GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded further by up to 32 GB using a microSD card.
Performance and OS
The Micromax Canvas Amaze is decked out for respectable performance with a quad-core MediaTek MT6580 processor running under the hood. The CPU runs along at a maximum speed of 1.3 GHz and responsiveness is boosted by RAM of 2GB capacity.
The Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system on which the phone runs is decent enough when one considers the price. Many more-expensive smartphones still run the same OS.
Miscellaneous Specifications
Power will be supplied to the Micromax Canvas Amaze by a 2,000mAh battery rated to deliver talk time of up to seven hours and standby time of up to 260 hours. It offers high-speed 3G connectivity to enable you easily share exciting times with friends online.
Connectivity features also include microUSB, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. It is not quite surprising that 4G LTE is not part of the package, although you get that from the cheaper Xolo Era 4G and Era X.
Pricing and Availability
Micromax Canvas Amaze is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Micromax Canvas Amaze Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N20,000 to N30,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
