Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition

The Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition is an entry-level smartphone that comes with a wood-finish back panel and 3GB of RAM. The phone is priced under Rs. 10,000.

With the Canvas 5 Lite Spl. Edition, you get an IPS LCD display that promises to show quality media with crisp, contrasting colors on its 5.0-inch screen. The display’s resolution is 720 x 1280 while pixel density is 294 PPI that is more than capable of delivering quality entertainment. In terms of design, the phone features a maple and walnut wood finish reverse panel, available in two shades of brown, but its special edition title stops there. The phone’s counterparts such as the Canvas 5 Lite features a larger, Full HD screen.

The device runs 5.0 Lollipop on a MediaTek MT6735P chipset that holds a 1.0 GHz four-core processor and a 3GB RAM capable of multitasking efficiently. In comparison, the Canvas 5 Lite runs 5.1 Lollipop out of the box, but nothing an upgrade can’t fix. The phone comes with 16GB of storage, same as that in the Canvas 5 Lite and can be expanded to 32GB with a memory card.

The rear camera is 8-megapixels that takes adequately clear images aided by autofocus. The camera is also capable of video recording at the rate of 30fps. The camera on the front is 5-megapixels for self-portraits that also takes adequately clear images. The phone gets its fuel from a 2,000mAh removable battery that lasts about 12 hours with moderate use.

The phone has space for two SIM cards, supports 4G LTE for the best mobile data browsing speeds currently available, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS for Google Maps or HERE Maps if you’re into that, and Bluetooth 4.0 to sync with other Bluetooth-enabled devices to share files. Sensors include a proximity sensor, accelerometer, and a light sensor.
