Summary

  • The Micromax Canvas Knight 2 E471 features a 5.0-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the Samsung Galaxy J7 has a larger 5.5-inch Super AMOLED display with the same resolution but a lower pixel density.
  • Both devices are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 chipset, but the J7 has a slightly higher clock speed on its CPU.
  • In terms of camera capabilities, both phones have a 13 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera, but the J7 offers a wider aperture for potentially better low-light performance.
  • The Canvas Knight 2 has a thinner profile and uses premium materials like Gorilla Glass 3 and an aluminum frame, whereas the J7 has a plastic back and frame, making it heavier.
  • Battery capacity is notably higher in the J7 at 3000 mAh compared to the 2260 mAh in the Knight 2, which may result in longer usage time.
  • Both run on Android Lollipop, but the J7 can be upgraded to Nougat, offering a more recent software experience.
