Micromax A116 Canvas HD Performance Review vs. Other Quad-Core Phones Source We take a look at the comparison between the long-awaited budget quad-core Micromax A116 Canvas HD smartphone versus not just budget smartphones in the same price range, but premium quad-core devices as well. We have spent quite a bit of time with the Micromax A116 Canvas HD and we think the smartphone is quite impressive. But being the first “budget” quad-core device, we do have our skepticism. Before we go into a detailed review of the device, we thought we’d compare the A116 Canvas HD to other smartphones, top-end quad-core offerings, as well as other budget devices in that price range. Micromax Canvas HD A116 vs. Quad-core Flagship Smartphones We know it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but we still decided to see how the Micromax Canvas HD A116 stacked up against the crème de la crème of the smartphone world. So, below, we have budget Micromax Canvas HD A116 compared with the top-of-the-line LG Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC Butterfly, HTC One X+ and the Samsung Galaxy Note II, phones priced around the Rs. 30,000 mark. Six months ago, we would never even have considered pitching a budget Android smartphone against any premium quad-core device. Now, though the Canvas HD doesn’t beat the top-end smartphones, it still does post some respectable scores, offering roughly 75 percent of the average benchmark performance of the other devices. Micromax Canvas HD A116 vs. Other Smartphones in Rs. 15,000 Segment Most of the devices in the Rs. 15,000 price range have a dual-core processor coupled with 1GB or 512MB of RAM. We compared the Micromax A116 Canvas HD to other smartphones around the Rs. 15,000 price point. This includes devices such as the Spice Stellar Pinnacle Mi-530, iBall Andi 4.5q, WickedLeak Wammy Sensation, Lenovo S560 and the HTC One V. The Micromax A116 Canvas HD did outperform the competition and quite frankly, we were impressed with the results. In the Quadrant benchmark, the Spice Stellar Pinnacle Mi-530 scored second after the A116. The Stellar Pinnacle has a dual-core 1.2GHz processor coupled with 1GB of RAM whereas the A116 has a quad-core 1.2GHz processor and 1GB of RAM. Quadrant measures the performance of the CPU, I/O and 3D graphics of the smartphone. Higher the score, better the performance of the device. In Antutu, the A116 blows the competition straight out the window, proving that the power under the hood is spectacular. Antutu tests a device on "Memory Performance", "CPU Integer Performance", "CPU Floating Point Performance", "2D 3D Graphics Performance", "SD card read-write speed", and “Database IO" performance. The higher the score, the better the performance of the device. The score gives you a mathematical representation of the potential of a smartphone so it can easily be compared to competing smartphones with similar hardware specifications at a similar price point. The same can be said for the GLBenchmark Egypt Standard Classic (Frames) benchmark. This benchmark shows off the graphical capabilities of a device and is generally used to measure the gaming and graphical capabilities of the device. If you are one who would like to play games on your mobile device and don’t like the stutter you get when the action gets intense on your smartphone screen, you are in for a treat. In NenaMark2 (FPS) the device ran at 40.8 FPS making it the best in its class. So, if you decide to play Dead Trigger or any other high graphical game on the phone, the game should play smoothly, which coupled with the good response of the touchscreen and the size of the device, make the Micromax A116 Canvas HD quite ideal to play games on. Summing It Up For the price you pay, you are getting a great package in the form of the A116. Of course, it's not just the device's performance that make it quite impressive, but a round-up of other solid features. The Micromax A116 Canvas HD has a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a 1280x720 pixel resolution. It is 10.7mm thin and weighs a mere 156 grams. It also houses a 2000mAh battery, an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front facing camera. The Canvas HD runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and comes with a refreshing 'upgradeable to Android 4.2' claim. Coming back to the performance, it's safe to say most of the credit for the quite incredible showing of the Micromax A116 Canvas HD goes to the quad-core 1.2GHz MediaTek MT6589 processor powering the device, coupled with the PowerVR Series5XT GPU, and 1GB of RAM. If this is the future of budget smartphones, we can’t wait to see what Qualcomm does to take on MediaTek with its own ‘budget’ quad-core capable SoC.

Do also have a look at Soundmagic. They have made some outstanding products with pro audio sound quality comparable to the top brands but costs very less in comparison. They have rare reviews for many of their products all over the web.

Uninor To Close Down Mumbai Operations From Midnight Source NEW DELHI, FEB 16: Telecom operator Uninor said it will close its Mumbai operations from midnight following the Supreme Court (SC) order. “The Court has ordered an immediate closure of operations and no temporary license too is available to allow a gradual process. Unfortunately, we have no choice now but to follow the Court’s order and close down our network immediately,” Sigve Brekke, Managing Director of Uninor said in a statement. The Supreme Court in February 2012 cancelled 22 licences of Uninor. The majority stakeholder of the company, Telenor participated in November 2012 auction through new entity Telewings Communications and won spectrum in six circles. Telenor is now in the process of transferring business of Uninor in Maharashtra and Goa, Gujarat, UP East, UP West, Bihar and Jharkhand and Andhra Pradesh service areas, to Telewings Communications. Uninor said its operations in these service areas “will continue as fresh spectrum for 20 years has already been secured.” Uninor will also sign roaming agreements with other operators to ensure that all Uninor customers get seamless connectivity when travelling to Mumbai. “All Uninor customers from Maharashtra, Goa, Gujarat and other circles will continue to be able to use their Uninor phones in Mumbai,” the statement said.

If you can ignore 512MB Ram, no camera flash in captivate and no official ics for both, either one is good. PS. You can apply coupon code WEEKEND102 to get flat 8% discount.

@amit.shippie Usual Ebay 6% discount codes for various banks cc/debit cards should be applicable. Search. Definition of best varies from person to person based upon what he sees as the main requirement. However i don't see any phone with indian warranty which fits in my definition as the overall best GSM phone below/around Rs 10,000 compared to following imported models which are best bang for the buck with respect to specs/features. Each one is available on Ebay.Com either mint used/new around/below $200. More chances of getting it even below that in auctions.

There are no doors left now for MTS whether front, back or side since the curative petion is rejected. As a double whammy, Supreme Court also ordered that telcos whose licenses were cancelled and which did not participate/win in last auction in November will cease to operate forthwith. That means now there is no time extension for service till the next auction in March for MTS (As everyone was hoping). No matter whether MTS again participates/wins in March Auction or buys out any other Telco, the SERVICE will now STOP most probably. Once that happens, all the customers will migrate to other network if they wish to retain the same number whether they like it or not. If and when afterwards MTS starts service again, it will be mostly starting from a Zero Customer Base (And how difficult that could be in the telecom sector). Indo Russian Treaty also can't protect as clauses in such treaties are generally meant for losses due to unfavourable/unjust treatment to foreign investors compared to local businesses by actions/policies of government. Here the loss happened due to court orders.

Surely looks like a good/VFM product for the price/features (If it works as claimed). I guess these are generic chinese products sold by everyone, not sure how it functions as i haven't used them. May be the battery won't last for more than 2 hour.
