Micromax Canvas Juice A1 (Q4251) smartphone: a budget model with a long battery life. Smartphones have one or more front cameras of different designs - pop-up camera, PTZ camera, notch or hole in the display, camera under the display

Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - sensor of the device's position in space. As a primary function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the display image (vertical or horizontal). Also, the G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled by various functions of the device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures the angles of rotation relative to a fixed coordinate system. Able to measure angles of rotation in several planes at the same time. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to accurately determine the position of the device in space. In devices using only accelerometers, the measurement accuracy is lower, especially when fast travel... Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor, thanks to which the optimal values ​​of brightness and contrast for a given illumination level are established. The presence of the sensor allows to increase the operating time of the device from the rechargeable battery.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to the face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing accidental presses. The presence of the sensor allows to increase the operating time of the device from the rechargeable battery.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the side of the world to which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the earth's magnetic poles. The information received from the sensor is used in cartographic programs for orientation on the ground.
Sensor atmospheric pressure - sensor for accurate measurement atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system that allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location.
Touch ID- fingerprint identification sensor.

Satellite navigation:

Gps(Global Positioning System - Global Positioning System) - a satellite navigation system that measures distance, time, speed and determines the location of objects anywhere on Earth. The system is designed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring the distance to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated from the signal propagation delay time from its sending by the satellite to being received by the GPS receiver antenna.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measuring principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation and time support of land, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital motion do not have resonance (synchronization) with the Earth's rotation, which provides them with greater stability.

Micromax Canvas Juice 2 Q392, which recently entered the domestic market, has become a representative of the line of "long-livers" of this manufacturer. He was equipped with a 4000 mAh battery. But after all, just a large battery is not enough for a sophisticated user, so Micromax implemented several interesting tricks here. is a smartphone capable of offering users more than that? Let's figure it out.

Appearance

The front panel of the smartphone is black and covered with Gorilla Glass 3, so scratches do not need to be afraid... Around the entire perimeter there is a border that is almost invisible to the eye, but protrudes slightly and is quite recognizable by touch. At the top is the speaker and the front camera peephole.

Back cover Micromax Canvas Juice 2 gray. From a distance it looks metallic, but plastic is immediately recognized to the touch. The edges are smoothed, so as a result smartphone shape reminds Meizu devices, for example, MX5. The elements at the top and bottom, on the other hand, evoke the thoughts of Huawei and iPhone gadgets. You might think that these are overlays, but in reality they are part of the lid. As a result, you have to remove the entire panel to get to the SIM and microSD slots. At the bottom of the cover there is a slot for the speaker, and at the top there is a camera peephole and a flash.

The volume rocker and the power button are located on the right side, so that when using it, the thumb rests on them. A good solution in terms of ergonomics.

If you remove the Micromax logo, then the gadget will not be distinguished from many other smartphones. However, Micromax Canvas Juice 2 looks pleasant and, despite all the hackneyed phrase, it fits perfectly in the hand, without inadvertently trying to slip out... He is very far from the delights of flagships, but do not forget that this is a state employee, and the use of more expensive materials would automatically raise its price.

Screen

Budget smartphone budget display. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 Q392 received a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The image quality is good: the display lacks stars from the sky, but there is nothing to complain about. Viewing angles and color rendition at the level Thanks for that IPS matrix. Those interested can adjust the image to suit their taste, for this MiraVision technology is used. There are a couple of preset options in the settings: default and increased brightness... And the user can also adjust the contrast, saturation, brightness, sharpness and color temperature.

The bezels around the screen of the smartphone are quite thick, so that as a result, the dimensions of the smartphone are 141x70 mm. Sometimes you have to intercept the device - your fingers simply do not reach some parts of the display.

Hardware platform and performance

For performance in Micromax Canvas Juice 2, a 4-core MediaTek MT6580 processor is responsible, to which 2 GB are given random access memory — reference set for the top of the budget segment. It has been used in a bunch of smartphones including Alcatel, Doogee and Asus ZenFone Go. But the chip that came out last year is one of the most budgetary ones from MediaTek and, as a result, the smartphone, unfortunately, cannot boast of high performance.

The gadget copes well with all everyday tasks, but the slowness is felt. Undemanding and not the latest games work well: you can shoot Angry Birds without any problems. There are already problems with more powerful applications - even Rayman Jungle Run no, no, it starts to slow down. It's better to just forget about modern hits like N.O.V.A.

Benchmark test results fully confirm subjective feelings. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 shows a consistently low result, which is easy to evaluate from the attached screenshots.

The smartphone is running stock Android 5.1. The manufacturer decided not to use any of its own shells, limiting itself to several pre-installed applications... Among them are the already mentioned MiraVision, "Camera", as well as a number of others, less significant.

Cameras

The smartphone has a pair of sensors: 2 and 8 megapixels. The quality of the images is predictably average, but there are some positive aspects here. The main camera shows an average result in daylight, but if the shooting conditions are slightly worsened - and instead of a clear picture, we get a solid "soap". In addition, there are some color rendering problems here.

Not the most high quality the manufacturer decided to compensate with a wealth of modes and settings.

• « live photo"Resembles a similar regime for the new iPhone generations, HTC Zoe and similar technologies. In fact, instead of a regular photo, a micro-video clip is taken for a couple of seconds.
• how exactly the mode “ motion tracking"Is not entirely clear. Most likely, it comes about blur compensation when shooting moving objects, but there was not much difference with a regular photo;
• « polygonal view"Is an analogue of a panorama, but with its own nuances. The user will need to point the camera at the object, and then circle it with the camera in an arc. As a result, when viewing a picture, a scroll bar appears, with the help of which you can look at the object from different sides;
• « Beautiful face"- almost a standard feature of Chinese devices, which improves selfies. With some simple settings, users will be able to smooth out the tone of the face, but overdo it a little, and instead of the natural skin color, we get a chalky mask.

Users can set exposure, white balance, ISO and other parameters. Slow motion mode is available for video.

Communication and sound

Micromax Canvas Juice 2 received standard set wireless modules, that's just without LTE. On the one hand, this is a clear drawback, but with 3G connected instead of 4G, the gadget is able to work much longer, and the Internet speed is quite enough for watching videos from the Web. Downloading large and voluminous games is simply pointless - the device's performance will not be enough for them. But there are two slots for SIM-cards, and they work simultaneously.

The interlocutor is always heard well during the dialogue; problems on the other side also do not arise. One of the main features of the smartphone, the manufacturer calls the ultra-loud speaker at 96 dB. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is loud indeed. Unfortunately, this feature does not go hand in hand with quality. But you can hear the call under almost any conditions.

Autonomy

The strongest side of the smartphone. The 4000 mAh battery perfectly holds a charge, which, in everyday use, is enough for more than 2 days with GPS and Bluetooth on. During active use(for example, a game), the battery supply is noticeably sagging, which can be seen in the screenshots. However, it is worth noting that the smartphone is unlikely to be used so often for this - after all, it is oriented somewhat towards something else.

Competitors

You can buy Micromax Canvas Juice 2 for 9,990 rubles. What can competitors offer for the same amount? If you put autonomy at the forefront - not much.

Of the more or less current models, there is the Dexp Ixion EL350 Volt with a 4000 mAh battery. You can find it for 6 650 rubles, but given the Spreadtrum processor and 1 GB of RAM, it is not a fact that it will be able to cope as well even with everyday tasks.

ZTE Blade X3 costs 8,990 rubles and has a similar problem - not such a powerful processor and only 1 GB of RAM. But the front camera is 5 megapixels.

More compact Highscreen Power Four sells for the same 9,990. It has a 4.5-inch screen, a slower 1GHz MediaTek MT6735M processor, only 1GB of memory, and lower-resolution cameras. And the battery capacity in the case of Highscreen does not always mean good autonomy.

Summary

In general, Micromax Canvas Juice 2 leaves the impression of a sort of "workhorse". It cannot boast of any outstanding performance, or spectacular design, or high-quality cameras, but at the same time it is distinguished by a rare "endurance" for its segment. He will become a reliable companion for those who are not interested in games or super-fast Internet, for those who primarily need a smartphone for communication, periodic checking of mail and surfing the Internet. With this, the smartphone is doing well.

And if you look at the competitors, then everything turns out to be even more interesting. Yes, in this segment you can find devices with higher characteristics, but in their case, autonomy is at the expense. You can find smartphones cheaper and with an equally capacious battery, but their performance will leave much to be desired. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 has become the golden mean among them and clearly deserves the attention of buyers.

Packaging and equipment

The device comes in a stylish black and white box. The lid shows the strengths of the smartphone - the sound is three times louder than usual and the increased capacity of the battery (in the word “Juice” the letter I is depicted in the form of a battery with a full charge).

Inside the box lie protective film for screen, headset in the form of vacuum headphones, charger and microUSB ⇔ USB cable.

Design and ergonomics

There is nothing superfluous in the design of Micromax Canvas Juice 2: it is a classic five-inch smartphone with rounded back edges and a removable cover that hides slots for two SIM-cards and a card microSD memory.

The front panel is completely covered with glass, it houses a display, a front camera, a round-shaped earpiece, and a light indicator. System control buttons (Back, Menu, Home) are built into the interface and located at the bottom of the screen.

The hardware power button and volume rocker got the most convenient location, familiar to most users - on the right edge, in the upper part of it. The buttons are firm enough for comfortable use and have a crisp travel.

The device fits perfectly in the hand, and the texture of the back panel does not allow it to slip.

The smartphone is assembled soundly. Despite the fact that the parts are made of plastic (and, unlike metal, it is very difficult to fit it), there are no backlashes and gaps.

Apparatus in operation

The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is powered by a MediaTek MT6580 quad-core processor, clocked at up to 1.3 GHz. The graphics accelerator Mali-400 MP is responsible for the graphics. Volume internal storage was 8 GB, RAM - 2 GB. Such filling provides the smartphone with good performance when performing everyday tasks: as a rule, the system's response to user actions is fast. Sometimes slowdowns occur, but they are associated more with the optimization of specific applications than with insufficiently fast hardware.

The result of Micromax Canvas Juice 2 in the AnTuTu benchmark.

The speaker sound of Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is very loud and, importantly, without noticeable distortion at full volume. There are low frequencies (bass). So games, movies, music - all kinds of multimedia entertainment go well with this device.

In addition, the novelty has a clear screen with HD-resolution and no pixelation. It is created using IPS technology, which provides high brightness, contrast and good viewing angles with relatively low power consumption. Touchpad recognizes five simultaneous touches.

Interface

The device runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. There is no additional launcher, so the user has access to a "clean", not overloaded, Android. There are no extra pre-installed applications on the smartphone “out of the box” either, so after the purchase you will not have to waste time removing unnecessary software. You can immediately start installing the set of programs that will be useful to you personally.

In the settings there is a set of MiraVision tools that allows you to adjust the clarity, saturation, contrast and color temperature of the image on the screen.

Camera

The 8-megapixel camera module found on the Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is equipped with flash and autofocus. It delivers excellent photo results in all conditions, including easily focusing on close subjects. When shooting at night, shots are also sharp and blurry, with natural color reproduction.

The camera is equipped with an HDR mode that expands the dynamic range of images and enhances the details of the brightest and darkest areas. This feature works best in backlit situations to compensate for the high contrast of such shots.

HDR off: the subject in the foreground is not detailed enough, there are gaps in the shadows.

HDR On: The foreground is brighter and clearer.

Autonomous work

The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 has a huge battery - 4000 mAh. Its charge can be stretched for five days if you turn off GPS and Wi-Fi and limit the use of the screen. By “driving” it to the fullest (as smartphone owners usually do), we almost completely discharged the gadget in two days. This is an excellent result, which means that the battery life of the Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is really above average.

Outcomes

The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is a balanced device that is well worth the money. The only thing it lacks is LTE support. Otherwise, the manufacturer managed to find a good balance in price and quality, equipping the gadget with a clear screen, 2 GB of RAM, excellent speakers and, most importantly, an unusually capacious battery.

Capacious battery and best sound in its class! This is how Micromax positions its Canvas Juice 2 Q392 smartphone, which costs an average of 7,990 rubles. All the pros and cons of the Micromax Canvas Juice 2 Q392 are in this review.

Packaging and equipment

The hero of this review is packed in a box made of high-quality thick cardboard. The design of the box is original and immediately makes it clear that something musical is awaiting us, well, at least the outlines of the speaker prompted me just such thoughts. USB cable, headset, film on the screen and standard papers.

Design, assembly and ease of use

The design of budget smartphones Micromax does not stand out in anything special, we have a typical candy bar. The front of the smartphone is completely covered with a protective glass, which is slightly recessed into a plastic frame, of course it is not so impressive, but reliable. above the display there is a front camera, a round speaker grill, which immediately reminded me of the Nexus 5, proximity and light sensors and an LED notification indicator. The space under the screen is empty, and the navigation keys have "crawled" onto the screen.

The back cover covers the side edges and literally covers the body. Most of the cover is made of metal, plastic parts are only at the bottom and top, well, by the way, this is done as standard in order to install antennas there. On the "back" of the smartphone there is a camera, LED flash, Micromax logo, and of course, a large, shiny grille for the main speaker, well, what would be noticeable.

The cover is removable, under it there is a non-removable battery, two slots for MicroSIM, a slot for MicroSD cards memory, and you can pay attention to a sufficiently large speaker, of course not as big as the grille for it, but still.
The upper edge bears a headphone jack, the lower one - a MicroUSB connector and a microphone. The left side is free of elements, and the right side is occupied by the lock key and the volume rocker. The keys wiggle quite a bit.



You can find fault with the assembly: the case sometimes creaks even during normal use, although at first glance it seems that everything is quite neatly assembled.
There are no special questions for ergonomics: Canvas Juice 2 Q392 does not try to slip out of the hand, and with one hand you can control this smartphone without any problems.

Display

IPS matrix with a diagonal of 5 ″ has a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, the density of pixels per inch is 293 ppi. The display, to be honest, is not bad, but it feels like a budget one. The color rendition is warm, by default reds and greens are faded, and if the lack of red can be corrected in the settings by turning on the "Vivid" display mode, then the green remains faded. In general, the picture is detailed and small fonts are readable without problems.
Viewing angles are maximum, while colors do not lose saturation when viewed from a large angle. The brightness adjustment range is wide. The maximum brightness is sufficient for working with a smartphone in bright sunlight, and the minimum is comfortable for reading at night. But the automatic brightness control does not always work correctly. Sometimes it increases it too much, sometimes on the contrary it lowers it too much, in general, I did not succeed in explaining what it is guided by.

The sensor is sensitive, there is no mode of operation with gloves and in the cold the sensitivity of the sensor decreases, during speed dial light pressings may not be able to handle text with cold hands.

Camera

The camera app is extremely simple with minimal customization options.

The main camera module is 8 megapixel with autofocus and one-color LED flash. The camera, as expected, is a budget one, the details of the pictures, although not bad, can be mistaken in the selection of the white balance in low or difficult lighting and most often makes the photos cold. When the photo is enlarged, it becomes clearly visible that the camera sharpens the photo a lot.



The front camera is a 2 megapixel module, not enough, but honestly. We didn’t bother with interpolation. If you wish, and not in bad light, you can get a good picture, but still this camera is more for video calls.

Performance

Powered by Canvas Juice 2 Q392 on a budget 4-core Mediatek processor MT6580, the graphics core is the old Mali-400 MP, the smartphone is also equipped with 2 gigabytes of RAM and 8 gigabytes of built-in memory, of which only a little more than 4 are available to the user, fortunately - there is a slot for MicroSD. Synthetic tests show low results: in Antutu - 22979 points, and in Geekbench - 393 and 1137 points, in single-core and multi-core mode, respectively.

Despite the low performance in the tests, the smartphone works quite quickly, possibly because almost naked Android is installed without a large number established unnecessary applications... The web browser as a whole works stably and only sometimes microfreezes appear when scrolling through large pages. HD video plays without brakes.

But what about the games? It's bad, modern games like Asphalt Extreme or Asphalt 8 work only at low graphics settings, I didn't even try to launch World of Tanks: Blitz.

Software

As I said, this smartphone runs on practically "bare" Android 5.1, which is already quite old. Canvas Juice 2 Q392 has retained the "features" of its fellow Launcher3 instead of normal Google Start, icons from different versions Android, etc.

Autonomy

The 4000 mAh battery lasts for a long time, without problems Canvas Juice 2 Q392, if you do not load it with 3D, games will live with you for 3 days without recharging. standard mode: calls, social networks, streaming audio and video. At the same time, the operating time of the screen is approximately 7-8 hours. And this is a lot.

From the pleasant - there is a power saving mode. It only allows you to make calls, write / receive SMS, and in this mode a fully charged Canvas Juice 2 Q392 can work for more than two weeks.

Sound

Another outstanding aspect of Canvas Juice 2 Q392 is the sound! The smartphone is very loud, its speaker is capable of delivering up to 96 decibels of sound. What would you understand flagship smartphones like Huawei P9, Samsung Galaxy The S7 produces approximately 70 decibels of sound. Despite the volume, you still want more low frequencies, but this is already a personal preference.

I want to draw your attention to one feature: the speaker of the smartphone, after the completion of the playback of any sound, emits a click at a volume of about 30 decibels, and during quiet playback, a hiss is slightly audible. This is a feature of the built-in speaker amplifier.

The speaker is average in sound quality. The sound in the headphones is also not distinguished by anything special, it is as quiet as that of other smartphones on budget Mediatek processors.

Impressions of Canvas Juice 2 Q392

I cannot call Canvas Juice 2 Q392 the best, after all - it is budget smartphone and one must immediately understand that there are costs in it. What really distinguishes Canvas Juice 2 Q392 is its very capacious battery and very loud speaker. In all other respects, it is very difficult to single out why you can choose it.

The obvious disadvantages of this smartphone are low gaming performance and lack of support for 4G networks.

Not made a choice? We have many more!

Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is a mid-range device aimed, perhaps, precisely on the Asian market, where such devices are appreciated for their functionality at an affordable price.

Design and ergonomics

The device is made in a pleasant color scheme: the combination of deep black and steel colors make the smartphone outwardly presentable, although devoid of individuality. With the display turned off, the screen of the device looks like a black mirror, which does its job well. In general, the smartphone looks monolithic and without unnecessary details.

There is no physical button on the front panel, the volume rocker and the power button are located on the right side - just under the thumb of the right hand. A small circular speaker and a front-facing camera are located above the display. On the bottom there is a microphone and a micro-USB connector, a mini-jack fits on the top.

The camera with a flash located on the upper part of the rear panel looks quite stylish: the camera's peephole frames a small ledge on top, and a semicircle below. The main speaker is in the form of a strip - at the bottom of the wall of the device.

The smartphone fits nicely in the hand, but the plastic cover gives it away as a medium-sized device.

The cover of the device is removable. Hidden underneath is a memory card slot and two SIM card slots.

Screen

Micromax Canvas Juice 2 received a 5-inch IPS-display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, supports multitouch, pixel density - 294 ppi.

The colors are crisp, saturated, which is typical for Micromax devices. However, the brightness of the device's screen is very painful to the eyes. Even with adaptive dimming enabled, the smartphone is too bright. Therefore, for comfortable use, I had to turn off the function and set the brightness slider to almost the very minimum.

The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, pleasant to the touch but slightly slippery. When typing and scrolling through pages, the smartphone screen does not always respond to touches, the device requires precision with a finger and more effort.

Sound

The sound of a smartphone requires a separate word, since the developers themselves note its volume. On the box, a figure of 96 dB is stated - in terms of volume, it is close to a subway car passing in the immediate vicinity.

The device is really very loud. This is not to say that it has excellent sound quality, but nonetheless it is quite digestible. On some particularly "difficult" songs at full volume, the smartphone inevitably wheezes and trembles in the hands.

The counter with a very loud speaker is not entirely clear and looks more like an anachronism. Perhaps this function is a weighty argument in the company's home market, however, in the Western market, smartphones have long been competing in the quality of sound, and not in its volume.

You shouldn't expect outstanding sound quality from the headphones that come with the device either: the accessory corresponds to its price category.

Camera

The main camera of the smartphone is equipped with 8 megapixels, the front camera is only 2 megapixels. The quality of shooting, of course, leaves much to be desired, but the device has a couple of notable features.

On the main camera, you can shoot text well, the sharpness and clarity of image transmission are minimal. But the color rendition of the pictures is lame. The story is the same with the front camera, in addition, the square pixels of the image are clearly visible in the picture.

However, the Micromax Q392 has interesting features: for example, a feature called "Multi-angle View". It is similar to panoramic shooting, but allows you to move the slider to move around the image. It turns out something in the spirit of 3D shooting. The function manifests itself especially interestingly in circular selfies or, conversely, in shooting a surrounding panorama. Unfortunately, the resulting image can only be viewed on the smartphone itself and cannot be transmitted.

There is also a standard for "Asian" devices function "Beautiful face", which turns the skin in the photo into chalk. There is an option "Tracking motion", which allows you to do something similar to gif-animation with the ability to select specific frames that will be included in the final result of shooting.

Hardware specs and experience

Canvas Juice 2 shows good results in performance and copes with common tasks - for example, checking mail, flipping through social networks, playing undemanding toys. At the same time, no serious freezes were noticed.

Hardware characteristics:

Chipset: Mediatek MT6580
-Processor: Quad-core Cortex-A7 @ 1.3GHz
-Memory: operational - 2 GB, internal - 8 GB, slot for micro-SD (up to 32 GB)
-OS: Android 5.1
-microUSB v2.0
- 4000mAh battery

In the AnTuTu benchmark, the device scored a little less than 23 thousand points. The result is frankly weak, the 3D performance is especially unimpressive. For example, Xiaomi Mi 2, Micromax Canvas Sliver 5, Samsung Galaxy A3 are gaining about a similar result.

At the same time, there are several points that are alarming and depressing. For example, the smartphone does not support 4G networks, but this is still half the trouble, since the device behaves very badly even in 3G networks. Simply put, the device has obvious problems with the data transfer rate. As noted by the owners of other Micromax smartphones, this problem is typical for the entire line of devices.

Also Canvas Juice 2 is clearly out of memory. With the declared 8 GB of free disk space the user only gets a little over 4 GB. Of course, micro-SD will fix the flaw in the case of photos, videos and other content, but you will not be able to install applications directly on it.

The smartphone vibrates very strongly, and there is no intensity adjustment slider in the settings. Many devices sin with this, especially noticeable after use. Samsung smartphones where there is such an adjustment.

However, the 4000mAh battery really sets the device apart. During a day of moderately active use with data transfer turned on, the smartphone lost only 30% of its charge. Thus, the device will be able to work for 2-3 days on a single charge.

Summary

Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is a pretty good device on the whole, but not without flaws.

The advantages of the device include light weight, laconic, although not original design, 2 GB of RAM, interesting features cameras, capacious battery and, of course, a low price (for Russian retailers it varies from 8 thousand to 9 thousand rubles).

Among the minuses are the lack of LTE and poor data transfer quality, too powerful vibration, problems with screen brightness, a weak camera and mediocre sound quality.
