We thought it was a nice opportunity to compare both the smartphones and see where they stand. There are obvious branding advantages with Samsung, but then Micromax is giving a better feature set. Here is a look at specs comparison.
| Phone | Samsung Galaxy Grand | Micromax A116 Canvas HD |
|---|---|---|
| Price/Availability | INR 21,500 (starting early-February) | Sub-INR 15,000 (starting early-February) |
| Display | 5-inch 800x480p LCD | 5-inch 1280x720p IPS display |
| Processor | Dual-core 1.2GHz | Quad-core 1.2 GHz |
| RAM | 1GB | 1GB |
| Android Version | Android 4.1 Jelly Bean | Android 4.1 Jelly Bean |
| Internal storage | 8GB | 4GB |
| External storage | Yes (Up to 64GB) | Yes (Up to 32GB) |
| Connectvity/Ports | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, MicroUSB, dual-SIM | Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, MicroUSB, dual-SIM |
| Cameras | 8MP rear/ 2MP front | 8MP rear/ VGA front |
| Battery | 2100 mAh | 2100 mAh |
As you can see, Micromax is clearly a winner in the specs department and it is providing all these specifications at a much lower price. Even if you value Samsung brand very much, there are obvious issues with Galaxy Grand, like a sub-par display resolution (if not HD, even qHD would have been better than WVGA). However, on the software customisations front, Samsung is a winner. Company has included a lot nice software tweaks from Galaxy S III and Note II in its Galaxy Grand, like multi-window, Direct Call and Smart Stay. Even the new content offerings bouquet “My Services” is also a positive, but you can always get alternatives from Google Play.
