Please give a fresh operating system, supporting two SIM cards and a capacious battery. It is a pity that there is no LTE, the data warehouse also could be more. If all this will work fine, then for 100 dollars (at the current course) for lack of possibilities it will be possible to calmly close your eyes.

It's time to move from words to business. We will proceed to external inspection of the guest of the laboratory.

MICROMAX CANVAS POWER AQ5001 Packaging and Complete

The smartphone entered the test in a compact white box of thick cardboard.

Images of the smartphone and its main parameters are applied to the surface of the packaging.

IN latelyMany companies began to represent the flagship smartphone market with Android 5.0 moderate price. Today we will look at the novelty from the Indian company Micromax AQ5001 or CANVAS POWER in Russia and Juice 2 in India. Does the quality preserve or something have to sacrifice? Let's see.

Equipment

The smartphone package includes a charger, a USB cable, headset, accompanying documents, and even a protective film on the screen, despite Gorilla Glass.

Appearance

As for the appearance, in general, the design of the smartphone is designed in a concise and strict style that gives him an expensive appearance. The first question, which you ask you at the sight of the phone - HTC?

The housing with rounded edges is made of plastic with a textural surface that makes it similar to stainless steel.

The front side is covered with a protective glass, under the 5-inch display are the "Menu", "home" and "back" touch keys - everything is standard.
From above are grid conversational speaker, Sensor approximation, LED notifications and front camera lens.

The housing has a plastic edging of silver color.

The right end is made by the volume control keys and the power on / off button, which are also made under metal, and having a slight rough surface.

Upstairs there is a 3.5mm audio output for the headset and immediately the USB connector for the charger.

The bottom side of the smartphone has an 8 megapixel lens 8 megapixel, LED flash and micromax logo.
The rear panel is removable, under it there are two slots for SIM cards and a microSD card slot, but the battery is unknown.

It is worth noting that the lid is very difficult to open - it is easy to break the nail, so use a screwdriver. In this case, the rear panel is made of rather thin plastic, so you need to be careful and not overdo it. Another nail into the cover of Micromax Canvas Power AQ5001 - screenshots and bending when pressed. But it is enough to put a paper and the problem will disappear.

Generally, appearance Micromax AQ5001 pleases the eye, but the only key minus is its dimensions: 144.85 x 72.7 x 9.7 mm with a weight of 169 grams.

Official render:

Display

Micromax Canvas Power AQ5001 received a 5-inch display with HD-resolution 1280x720 points, made on an IPS matrix, which provides any smartphone overview angles and good color reproduction.

Despite the fact that for a 5-inch screen HD-resolution seems small, the pictures are distinguished by saturated colors, although pixelization can be noticed if it is diligently look at.

Brightness is enough to read information from the screen with bright sunlight, and its minimum level is suitable for comfortable reading in the dark. The maximum brightness level is even too high.

The screen supports the multitouch function, but sometimes freezes, literally for a split second. We must admit that this is sometimes very annoying.

As mentioned earlier, the display is covered with protective glass Gorilla Glass 3, as well as oleophobic coating.

Camera

The smartphone received the main chamber of 8 MP with LED flash and autofocus. Of course, now such characteristics are difficult at least someone surprise. Snapshots can be called good.

As for the front camera in 2 MP, its permission is enough only for video chat. Well, for very terrible selfie, "terrible" in the sense that the quality of the pictures leaves much to be desired - you are very pretty for us.

Sound

The sound quality at the highest volume is good. The volume itself is enough for both speakers, and at the main and in conversational even on the minimum volume of volume.

There is a built-in FM radio operating only with the headphones connected, which act as an antenna, nothing unusual.

Iron

The flagship has received the following stuffing: The MEDIATEK MT6582M quad-core chipset is used as a processor with a clock frequency of 1300 MHz, MALI-400MP2 is responsible for the graph. The amount of RAM - 2 GB, built-in - 8 GB, with the ability to expand up to 32 GB.

In general, such iron is enough for normal operation of the interface, running 3D games and watching video in high quality. For all time, I did not notice a single lag.

Smartphone supports operation with two microsim-cards; 2G and 3G networks (4G is not supported); GPS, Wi-Fi 802.11 B / G / N and Bluetooth 4.0. I want to note the wonderful work of Wi-Fi module

Operating system

Micromax AQ5001 is running new Android 5.0 Lollipop, there is no corporate interface from the company. It is very pleased.
Working with the standard system: Scroll across the screen from top to bottom calls the notification center. Application and games icons are located on multiple desktops, they can be grouped into the appropriate folders.

Available model with the calculation for long battery life

About two years ago on russian market Officially began selling Micromax products. Currently, Micromax is one of the leading electronics producers in India, closing the top ten the largest players On the global mobile phone market (according to Counterpoint Research). Micromax takes the 1st place in India for sales of smartphones: its market share of the III quarter of 2014 was 22% (according to CANALYS research).

The smartphone that will be discussed today takes a special place in the company's portfolio. The manufacturer is positioned by Canvas Power as an affordable solution with good for its level characteristics and pleasant appearance. But the most important, key feature This apparatus on which the stop is being made is a long battery life, which is achieved due to a very volumetric embedded battery. More precisely, it should be achieved ideally, and is it really true, we still have to figure out today.

Micromax Canvas Power enters the sale in a very small size, flat matte cardboard box without a gloss. High-quality packaging is neat, without a claim for a premium level, but is kindly. Registration is calm, without multilateral and alay, but perhaps, perhaps, too many diverse elements issuing a budget level of content. It is also worth noting that the cover until the very end covers the whole base, clinging to remove it here just not for which you have to shake the box until the pallet with all contents will slip out of the lid.

The accessory kit is not well: in the box there are only a standard charger with an output current 5 in 1.5 A, a Micro-USB connecting cable, a wired headset and a protective film on the screen. Headphones in quality are simple, but pleases the presence of rubber incubuser of intra-channel type, such budget level It is rare enough.

Appearance and ease of use

The appearance of Micromax Canvas Power can be said that the smartphone has a fairly attractive design, especially considering its origin and cost. By positioning, this is a budgetary labor, designed for a long time of autonomous exploitation, no other outstanding features of this apparatus are expected. For this level, the smartphone looks quite acceptable, the design is neat and modest, but it does not push, in general, the smartphone looks worthily.

Many other sensations arise when you take Micromax Canvas Power in your hands. Lovers save surely close their eyes to many shortcomings of this device, but in general the ergonomics of the case can be called unsuccessful. First, the side faces here have a bevel from top to bottom (boating), as it usually happens, but on the contrary, from the bottom up. Accordingly, when you try to raise your smartphone from the table, the fingers simply slide with the sidewall, as if you try to grab a pyramid.

Adds inconvenience and very slippery coating: the surface of the case here is made under the species of metallic, although in fact it is naturally the usual painted plastic. The surfaces here are really very slippery, and at the same time the device is very heavy, because of which the smartphone is even harder to hold in the hands.

As for the materials, the hull is made here mainly from plastic with paint-applied on top with a metal matte gloss. Exterior The housing has a solid structure, that is, the plastic casing covers not only the back, but also all sidewalls. Accordingly, when the casing is removed, all the hardware buttons disappear, since they are fixed on the wall of this design.

The plastic cover has a rather thick profile, does not bend in the center of the rear, but, as it usually happens, it squeezes at any, even easy compression. Only in budget decisions today the structure of the hull with a solid corps-boat is used, while there are almost always the scenes and hopping.

In the front part, plastic casing adjoins protective glassThe front panel has a small rim around the glass. The rim barely repels in the front part, protecting the glass itself from contact with the surface, if the smartphone lies with the down screen. It uses Gorilla Glass 3 glass here, but there is an air layer between the layers of the screen, which reduces the viewing angles and makes the color visually less saturated.

In the top of the screen, in addition to the dynamics and sensors, there is also a LED event indicator, it shines a large point, notifying about the status of charging and incoming messages.

At the bottom, under the screen, a number of three sensory control buttons for the system and applications are familiar. Buttons have a non-solder nice white backlight. According to user reviews, the buttons do not always work adequately, although in the case of our test specimen, there were no special problems with this.

Another thing is that developers are installed for these buttons as the main not always the most obvious actions, this is really confused. So, by clicking on left button For some reason, it is rarely called, right for example, used menu of wallpaper installation and widgets. Although it is clear that this user is doing much less frequent than refers to the menu of the latest open applications. Here the switching between applications is carried out on long-term pressing on the left button, although everything should be done on the contrary.

There are no surprises on the back of the back: the round window of the main chamber is framed by a metal ring, the module does not repel out of the surface of the body, but not soaked in it, so that the glass may well be covered with scratches. Near the camera is a dual LED flash. The flash can be used as a flashlight, cause this function from the curtain of notifications.

The grill, covering the output of the main dynamics, is an array of round holes on the back of the smartphone done right in the plastic of the lid. The grille partially overlaps when the device lies on the table, the sound at the same time is muted. It remains to add that the paint is pretty quickly covered with small dashes and scratches, so the Micromax Canvas Power body is quickly losing pristine beauty.

The lid is easily removed from the core, for the engagement of the nail there is a special protrusion. Removable lid does not affect the ability to remove rechargeable battery - That tightly mounted in its nest.

Card connectors are not supported by the battery, the cards can be changed in hot mode without having to restart the smartphone. Here are two equivalent to the slot capabilities for Micro-SIM SIM-SIM SIM cards and one microSD format memory card slot. You can easily install Nano-SIM cards in adapters, there are no problems with this. You can always push the stuck card through the holes provided on the other side of the connector. There are no spring-loaded capture mechanisms, all three cards are held due to the friction force, you do not need to click before clicking.

The side keys to adjust the volume and power have a metallized coating, they are smooth and slippery, protrude beyond the surface of the surface at sufficient height, easily fasten blindly. They have a long and distinct, there are no problems with this. All keys are conveniently located on logical places under the fingers, working with them is convenient.

Both connector for some reason installed not enough that in the same, upper end, so also very close to each other. With this location, the plugs are inconvenient, they can interfere with each other if a variety of third-party accessories are used. The Micro-USB connector unexpectedly turned out to be able to support the connection of external devices in the USB OTG mode, which for such a budget device on an outdated hardware platform looks like a fairly pleasant bonus. The connectors are not covered with the lids, no protection against water and dust is not provided here. Mounts for the strap on the Micromax Canvas Power package is also not.

In Russia, Micromax Canvas Power is offered, apparently, only in one color version: this is a silver "metallic", the manufacturer does not report anything about other colors for this apparatus.

Screen

Micromax Canvas Power is equipped with a touch matrix made using IPS technology, the screen is protected by glass Gorilla Glass 3. The screen sizes are 62 × 110 mm, a diagonal is 5 inches, the resolution is 1280 × 720 points, the density of the points is 294 PPI.

The frame around the screen is not in a modern wide: its width of the sides is at least 5 mm, and from above and below - 16 mm.

Well, at least that the budget smartphone was provided by the built-in external lighting sensor, the automatic adjustment of the screen brightness is based on it. Multitouch technology here allows you to process only 2 simultaneous contact. When making a smartphone to the ear, the screen is blocked using the approximation sensor. Users on the forums are tuned to work the sensor, however, our test instance during testing has worked out its functions clearly and without errors.

The screen here cannot be unlocked by double tapping on the glass or in the design of special gestures. No support for work in gloves and wet fingers.

Detailed examination with the use of measuring instruments was conducted by the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.

The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the reflection of objects, the anti-reflective properties of the screen is noticeably worse than the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter just Nexus 7). For clarity, we give a photo on which the white surface is reflected in the screens (left - Nexus 7, on the right - Micromax Canvas Power, then they can be distinguished by size):

The screen at Micromax Canvas Power is much lighter. The reflection in the screens is truded, which assumes the presence of an air layer between the surface of the matrix and the outer glass. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating, its effectiveness is high, even slightly higher than that of Nexus 7, therefore traces from the fingers are removed significantly, and appear at a lesser rate than in the case of conventional glass.

When manually controlling the brightness and when the white field is output, the maximum brightness value was about 500 cd / m², the minimum - 13 cd / m². The maximum brightness is very high, but, given the bad anti-glare properties, readability on a sunny day outside the room will be low. In complete dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. In stock Automatic brightness adjustment over the illumination sensor (it is the right door of the front loudspeaker). IN automatic mode When the external lighting conditions change, the screen brightness both rises and decreases. The operation of this function depends on the position of the brightness adjustment slider. If it is 100%, then in complete darkness, the automatic brightness adjustment function reduces the brightness of up to 250 kD / m² (too light), in conditions of an artificial light of an office (about 400 LCs) sets 420 cd / m² (too much), in very bright environment (corresponds to the lighting clear day outdoors, but without direct sunlight - 20000 LCs or a little more) increases to 500 cd / m² (maximum, which is needed). Brightness slider by 50% - the values \u200b\u200bare as follows: 50, 280 and 500 cd / m² (the first two meanings are slightly overpriced), by 0% - in the complete darkness, the backlight simply turns off, at all, in the office we received 84 cd / m² (dark), And on the bright light, all the same 500 cd / m² were installed. We were larger than the values \u200b\u200bof 17, 230 and 500 kD / m², obtained when installing the brightness slider to the left half of the scale. In general, the automatic brightness adjustment function works adequately and allows the user to some extent to customize its work under individual requirements. At any level of brightness, there is no significant illumination modulation, so there is no screen flicker.

IN this smartphone Used IPS type matrix. On micrographs, if you wish, you can see the structure of subpixels typical of IPS:

For comparison, you can familiarize yourself with the micrographic gallery of the screens used in mobile technology.

The screen has good viewing angles without a significant shift of colors, even with large looks from the perpendicular to the screen and without inverting (except the most darker in the deviation on one diagonal) shades. To compare, we give the photos on which the same images are displayed on the Micromax Canvas Power and Nexus 7 screens, while the brightness of the screens is initially installed about 200 kD / m², and the color balance on the camera is forcibly switched to 6500 K. Perpendicular to the screens. White field:

Note good uniformity of brightness and color tone of the white field. And test picture:

On the Micromax Canvas Power screen, the colors saturation is high, but the color balance is clearly shifted into the blue area and the picture is a little darkened. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen:

It can be seen that the colors did not change very much from both screens, but Micromax Canvas Power contrast decreased to a greater extent due to the strong decrease in black and larger decrease in brightness, signs of inverting shades began to appear. And white field:

The brightness at an angle of the screens decreased (at least 5 times, based on the difference in excerpt), but Micromax Canvas Power the screen is still darker. The black field during the deviation on the diagonal is highlighted and acquires a purple or brownish shade. The photos below are demonstrated (the brightness of white areas in the perpendicular plane of the directions of the direction is the same!):

And at a different angle:

With perpendicular view, the uniformity of the black field is good, although nonideal:

Contrast (approximately in the center of the screen) is good - about 780: 1. Response time when moving a black-white-black-black equal to 19 ms (12 ms on. + 7 ms off.). The transition between halftons of gray 25% and 75% (according to the numerical color value) and back in sum occupies 30 ms. Constructed by 32 points with an equal interval in the numerical value of the shade of a gray gamma curve did not reveal in neither lights or in the shadows. The index of the approximating power function is 2.29, which is slightly higher than the standard value of 2.20, and the image is slightly darkened. At the same time, the real gamma curve deviates little from power dependence:

The presence of a dynamic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight in accordance with the nature of the displayed image, we did not reveal that very well.

Color coverage is close to SRGB:

The spectra show that the matrix light filters to moderately mix the components to each other:

As a result, the colors have natural saturation and shade. Balance of shades on a gray medium scale. The color temperature is significantly higher than the standard 6500 K, but the deviation from the spectrum of absolutely black bodies (ΔE) is less than 10 units, which is considered an acceptable indicator for the consumer device. In this case, the color temperature and Δe change little from the shade to the shade - this has a positive effect on the visual assessment of the color balance. (The darkest areas of the gray scale can not be considered, since there the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)

Let's summarize: the screen has a very high maximum brightness, but it has bad anti-glare properties, so it is unlikely that the device can be comfortable to use outdoor sunny day. But the external glass can be replaced for inexpensive. For complete darkness conditions, you can set a comfortable brightness level. It is permissible to use and mode with automatic adjustment of brightness that works more or less adequately. The main thing is not to be afraid if the screen suddenly goes out - remove it into the light and move the brightness slider just to the right. An excellent oleophobic coating should be attributed to the dignity of the screen, the lack of a screen shift close to SRGB color coverage and good - with a visual assessment - a color balance. To significant shortcomings, we will draw low stability of black to the rejection of the view from the perpendicular to the plane of the screen. In general, taking into account the importance of the characteristics for this class of devices, the screen quality can be considered not very high.

Sound

The packaging Micromax Canvas Power contains that the smartphone has hardware support in the form of a Cirrus Logic Wolfson WM8918 audio account. This is not news, the manufacturer has already equipped its inexpensive smartphones by this decision. Another thing is that even the presence of a separate audio account of the famous brand in itself does not guarantee high-quality sound. The Wolfson WM8918 smartphone sounds in practice as modestly, as other low-budget solutions sounds, nothing special in his sound. The sound is neuropful, deaf, the spectrum of the frequencies of narrow, there is no low frequencies, and the volume of the call dynamics is clearly not enough. When connecting high-quality headphones, the situation does not change much: the sound is the same deaf, uninteresting, the volume is not always enough.

To play music, a standard player is used with a minimum number of settings in the form of an equalizer with pre-installed values. As an improvement in the sound, the user is invited to put two ticks opposite the items to improve the speaker volume and improve the sound for headphones.

The device is able to record telephone conversations From the line, for this, it is enough to click on the corresponding button in the interface of the phone application directly during the call. FM radio in the smartphone is available, it is possible to record programs from ether.

The main chamber received an 8-megapixel sensor and lens with a diaphragm F / 2.0. There is a dual bright flash. Autofocus here, on subjective sensations, slow enough, often mistaken. There is a function detection function, an electronic stabilization and noise reduction system are provided for video filming.

The shooting menu of the shooting is very simple, long-friendly familiar to us chinese smartphones on Soc MediaTek. The shooting is carried out in automatic mode, but it is possible to manually set ISO, change the exposure, sharpness, contrast. Transmit camera settings management third-party applications With the help of the Camera2, the API cannot, there is no possibility of recording in RAW.

The camera can shoot a video in the maximum resolution of 1080p, does it unexpectedly not so bad, the image is light and not loose, the shooting is smooth, although the colors are distorted. The sound is also recorded, too, very well, with the wind, the noise reduction system as a whole copes, the effect of "barrels" is not observed. In general, for a budget smartphone, everything is quite good.

• Roller №1 (54 MB, 1920 × [Email Protected] FPS)
• Roller # 2 (43 MB, 1920 × [Email Protected] FPS)

	Even with good conditions, the camera is sometimes mistaken with white balance.
	The right side of the frame is spoiled by a large blur area.
	Again, a large blur zone on the right is thrown into the eyes, although in the left side of the frame, even on the distant plans, the sharpness is not so bad.
	With close and close-ups, the camera copes well.
	Contrast details are not bad for the camera, but in the shadows it does not cope at all.
	If you wish, the camera can even remove the macro.

It's hard to call a good chamber, because there is really a good enough of the frame, and it is not always. Most likely, this is a marriage of a specific sample, but we cannot exclude its mass. Excluding huge blur zones, the camera fully matches its price segmentAlthough you can find cameras better. Large hopes for such a chamber should not be imposed, but in extreme cases it will help with the photo scope of large objects.

Telephone part and communication

The smartphone works standard in modern 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA networks, but does not have the support of the fourth generation LTE networks. That is, the maximum limit for this apparatus is: up to 21 Mbit / s download speed and recoil up to 5.76 Mbps (HSPA). Despite the fact that connectors for SIM cards under the cover are notified unequivocal (GSM and GSM / WCDMA), they work at all equally, while the cards do not require physical permutation. In practice with SIM cards, Beeline and MTS operators in the Moscow region, the smartphone was confidently registered and worked in 3G networks. The quality of the signal reception does not cause any complaints, the device confidently supports the connection in the premises and does not lose the signal in the zones of uncertain reception.

Rest network features Smartphone is also modest: only one range of Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) is supported, no NFC, there is bluetooth support 4.0, you can organize a wireless access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels. In this case, connecting external devices to the USB port in the OTG mode, the machine suddenly supports, although if there is a separately dedicated slot for memory cards, this is not so important. In practice, our check tRANSCEND card PREMIUM MicroSDXC UHS-1 with a 128 GB is confidently recognized by the device.

The operation of the navigation module of special complaints does not cause, the satellite detection speed at a cold start is about a minute, although only GPS / A-GPS is supported, the support for the GLONASS system is not here. Unfortunately, there are no smartphone sensors and a magnetic field sensor, on the basis of which the electronic compass of navigation cartographic programs is usually functions.

The phone application supports Smart Dial, that is, during a set telephone number Immediately, the search first letters in contacts. SWYPE support is also available.

The smartphone supports working with two SIM cards. Traditionally, for the Android interface without additional shells, the settings associated with the work of SIM-cards are inconveniently scattered in several sections, alternative interfaces in this matter often provide much greater ease of control. That is, in the SIM card section, you can easily configure all the work, and still do not understand why the "network failure" occurs, and then detect that you still need to go to the "Data Trafficking" section, and there is an additional transmission Data, because there is a separate button, which is turned off by default. Any of the cards can initially assign the basic for voice, SMS and data transmission. If the voice link does not bind to a specific map, then each time the call will pop up the context menu. It is not very convenient, it would be better to have both buttons with the designated SIM1 and SIM2 before your eyes.

To change the settings of the slots of the card, you do not need to change places - it can be done directly from the phone menu. Working with two SIM cards is organized by the familiar DUAL standard SIM Dual. Standby, when both maps can be in active standby mode, but simultaneously work cannot be - a radio module here is only one.

OS and Software

As a system, the Google Android version 5.0 software platform is used in the device without any additional shells, the update "By air" (OTA) is supported. The interface here fully corresponds to the definition of "bare Android", that is, it is impossible to display the battery charge level on the top panel, there is no possibility of quickly closing at once all applications in the menu of the latest open programs, etc., etc. Type of curtain of notifications, menu Applications, form of icons, the presence of interactive pop-up tiles - everything fully meets the Material Design branded concept. No additional changes made a smartphone here. Support for gestures, ability to reduce the work area of \u200b\u200bthe screen or shift virtual keyboards, drawing signs, awakening the tapping on the glass - there is nothing here and in risen.

Performance

The Micromax Canvas Power hardware platform is built on the basis of a 32-bit quad-core single-chip system (SOC) MediaTek MT6582M with outdated and weak Cortex-A7 processor cores with a working frequency up to 1.3 GHz. The modest MALI-400MP video scorer is responsible for processing graphics. The amount of RAM is 2 GB. Non-memory for the user's needs in the device is allocated only less than 4.5 GB. This supports the connection of MicroSD memory cards. Connecting external devices and flash drives to the Micro-USB port in USB mode OTG is also supported.

According to test results, the platform showed the results expected modest, below the average value (in the area of \u200b\u200b20k to Antutu), even if compared with other modern initial level platforms. In terms of the performance of SOC MT6582M, it is even a bit weaker than the popular modern elementary level platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 410. As a result, by the level of performance of the hardware platform, the Micromax Canvas Power smartphone relates rather to initial levelrather than the average. Such performance is not always enough: even interface android systems Sometimes it slows down and sticks out when scrolling, not to mention the playback of video in high resolution and demanding games. Micromax Canvas Power is rather organizer than a multimedia solution.

Testing B. recent versions Comprehensive antutu tests And Geekbench 3:

All results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most fresh versions Popular benchmarks, we have brought to the table for convenience. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the same comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions benchmarks, so many decent and actual models remain "for the scenes" - due to the fact that they at one time passed the "bar of obstacles" on previous versions test programs.

Testing a graphic subsystem in 3DMark game tests, GFXBENCHMARK, and Bonsai Benchmark:

When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones now it is possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the resolution of the rendering is fixed to 720p and is turned off by VSYNC (due to which the speed can rise above 60 FPS).

Browser cross-platform tests:

As for the benchmarks to estimate the speed of the JavaScript engine, it is necessary to always make a discount on the fact that they are significantly dependent on the browser in them, in which the comparison can be truly correct only on the same OS and browsers, and such an opportunity is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.

Heatons

Below is the back of the rear surface (the lighter, the higher the temperature) obtained after 10 minutes of the battery test operation in the GFXBenchMark program:

It can be seen that the heating is lonocated in the upper part of the device, which, apparently, corresponds to the location of the SOC chip. Below you can see the contours of the battery, which at an intensive discharge heats a bit. According to the heat frame, the maximum heating was only 36 degrees (at the ambient temperature of 24 degrees), it is very small.

Video playback

To test "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats that constitute the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have support for hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options Due to the same processor nuclei, it is most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it. All results are reduced to the table.

According to the test results, the subject did not turn out to be equipped with all the necessary decoders, which are necessary to fully play most of the most common multimedia files. To successfully play their playback, you will have to resort to the help of a third-party player - for example, MX Player. True, it is necessary to change the settings and manually set additional user codecs, because now this player does not officially support sound format AC3.

Testing the features of the video output spent Alexey Kudryavtsev.

The MHL interface, like the Mobility Displayport, we did not find it in this smartphone, so I had to restrict ourselves to testing the image of the video files to the screen itself. To do this, we used a set of test files moving to one division per frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see "Methods for testing reproducing devices and displaying a video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices) Red markers indicate possible problemsrelated to playback of relevant files.

By the output criteria, the quality of video files playback on the screen of the smartphone itself is bad, since the smartphone is not capable of simple test files output without passing frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1280 to 720 pixels (720p) on the smartphone screen, the image of the video file is displayed exactly along the screen border, one to one pixels, that is, in the initial resolution. The brightness range displayed on the screen corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - in the shadows and in the lights displays all gradations of shades.

Battery life

Micromax Canvas Power is equipped with a non-removable battery of an increased volume of 3000 mAh. The problem of this apparatus is that it works at the old MediaTek solution, and last year's platforms, unlike the latest solutions of the MT 67xx series, were famous for irrepressive energy consumption. So, even despite the small screen with a modest resolution and weak SOC, the smartphone has demonstrated a good, but not a record time of autonomous work in all standard tests. This, by the way, confirm numerous user reviews: the device works with the average loads of no more than one and a half days, to achieve a larger time, it is necessary to think about shutting down synchronization, network modules, turn off the device at night, etc. Spearly with this battery More economical SOCs would show much higher results. The developers themselves promise up to 9 hours in conversation mode and up to 435 hours in standby mode.

Testing, as usual, was carried out at the maximum level of power consumption without the use of branded energy-saving functions and modes, although there are those in the apparatus.

Uninterrupted reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness was set per 100 cd / m²) lasted until the battery was completely discharged less than 15.5 hours, and with unlimited viewing video in high quality (720r) with The same level of brightness through the home wi-Fi network The device stood 9.5 hours. In 3D-games mode, the smartphone worked for 4.5 hours.

Smartphone battery is charging enough long time, time full charge The battery is about 3.5 hours. No support fast charging Here, naturally, no. A smartphone is charged from a complete memory of a current 5.21 to 0.97 A, exactly the same amount he takes when charging and from a third-party charger.

Outcome

Currently, Micromax Canvas Power can be bought in the amount of 8 thousand rubles, and the official price for the smartphone in the MICROMAXStore company online store is 9 thousand rubles. The price has already lowered a little: at the start of the sale of the device, it was determined in 10 thousand rubles. For this money, the user will receive a small smartphone with a pleasant design and a set of characteristics that meet the requirements of the year last. It is strange to see such parameters in a mobile device at the turn of 2016, but the manufacturer calculates to conquer the hearts of users not specifications, but affordable price. The smartphone does not shine anything, it does not stand out alone from the parameters, but also there are no frank failures, everything is at the average level, including autonomy. Micromax Canvas Power is a smartphone closer to the initial level, an inexpensive functional mobile assistant that does not claim the laurel of the multimedia center.
