Micromax Canvas A63 review

Micromax Canvas A63 hangs a lot

Micromax Canvas has indeed created a brand value for itself in the android world. It is mostly known for providing good phones at budget price. If you are an android user you most know most of the android device hangs and created problems sooner or later but with my Micromax Canvas A 63, the problem started sooner than expected and even with very limited apps installed it works at snail speed.

Though loaded with Dual-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 Processor, 4GB internal memory and 512 RAM, the performance f the phone is very poor. Besides Whatsapp, Candy Crush is the only game installed in the phone and even than the phone hangs like hell. Just after 2-3 minutes of starting candy Crush, the phone starts lagging and slows down comparatively.  So on ground of performance I would rate the phone 2 out of 5.

Now let me move forward to the battery performance, though it has a Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery it runs for just 6-7 hours without using the internet. I have used android gadgets before and I know battery performance depends on the usage of apps, etc but with my Micromax Canvas A63 I seldom use any apps (beside playing Candy Crush for 10-15 minutes during the day) and the phone battery runs dry. If the phone is fully charged up ( ie- 100 percent) the performance of the battery is touch better but if you charge is say 50-60 % than within 30-40 minutes your phone will drain all the battery and start beeping because of low battery.  So, even the battery performance of the phone is very poor.

So over all Micromax Canvas A63 is a waste of money and if you looking to buy the low budget phone to use all those android apps and play those cool android games you surely will be pulling you hair and start swearing  once you start using the phone.
