MICROMAX A115 CANVAS 3D |
FOR: Matt finish rear cover; decent battery life.
AGAINST: 3D effect is not very good; feels bulky and heavy; display in not IPS; expensive.
The Canvas 3D looks and feels ginormous, but not in a good way. The handset reminds us of the Canvas 2 A110, which had shoddy aesthetics, and the A115 feels similar. The handset is quite thick at 11mm and is quite heavy at 188g. The only positive remark about the design is the matte-fi nished back and the new chrome logo, which looks a lot more presentable compared to their older handsets. At the front, we have a 5-inch TFT display with Naked Eye 3D technology. Basically, it functions using the parallax barrier method to create an effect of depth without the need for special glasses. The problem is that neither the display nor the viewing angles are clear for both 2D and 3D viewing.
The Canvas 3D is powered by a MediaTek MT6577 SoC, the same chipset used in the Canvas 2 A110. The CPU runs at 1GHz and is accompanied by 512MB of
RAM, which is quite low and may not be enough to run new 3D games. Micromax has a special gallery app called 3D Space that lets you access photos, games, YouTube and videos in 3D. The gallery is heavily ‘inspired’ by LG’s implementation on the Optimus 3D. Native 3D content looks good but the sweet-spot for viewing it properly without ruining your eyesight is very limited, so two people cannot comfortably watch a 3D video together. The screen also darkens a bit when the parallax barrier kicks in to create the 3D effect.
The Canvas 3D A115 tries to be Jack- of-all trades but ends up being a master of none. Everything about this handset feels half-baked and unpolished, and for an asking price of Rs 9,999, it is very expensive. Even if the price dips further, we wouldn’t recommend you buy the Micromax Canvas 3D A115.
