Short Review
- The Micromax Canvas A1 features a compact design with dimensions of 132 x 67 x 9 mm and a weight of 136 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, suitable for basic tasks but lacking HDR support.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6582 chipset and a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, performance is adequate for everyday use, supported by 1GB of RAM.
- The device includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video, while the 2 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
