Comparisons Featuring Micromax A117 Canvas Magnus
Short Review
- The Micromax A117 Canvas Magnus features a practical design with dimensions of 144 x 74 x 9 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, delivering decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589T chipset, with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The 12 MP rear camera captures satisfactory images, though it lacks optical image stabilization, and video recording is limited to 720p at 30fps.
- A 2 MP front camera is available for basic selfies.
- The 2000 mAh battery supports standard usage but may require frequent charging due to its capacity.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G support and NFC.
- The device is available in black and white colors, though it does not feature water resistance.
- Overall, the Micromax A117 Canvas Magnus offers a balanced set of specifications for its time.
