Introduction
In January 2014, Indian smartphone manufacturer Micromax announced their new addition to the A series - the A350 Canvas Knight. This device was released in March of that year and quickly gained popularity among tech enthusiasts. So, what makes this phone stand out? Let's take a closer look at its features and specifications.
Design and Display
The A350 Canvas Knight measures at 145 x 72 x 9 mm (5.71 x 2.83 x 0.35 in) and weighs 154 g (5.43 oz), making it comfortable to hold and easy to carry around. It has a sleek and stylish design with a black or white front frame and the option of gold or black for the back panel.
The phone sports a 5.0 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels and a 16:9 aspect ratio. It also comes with Corning Gorilla Glass protection, providing durability against scratches and minor impacts. With a screen-to-body ratio of 66%, the display offers an immersive viewing experience.
Hardware and Software
The A350 Canvas Knight runs on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat) operating system and is powered by a Mediatek MT6592T chipset. It also has an Octa-core 1.7 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and Mali-450MP4 GPU, making it a reliable device for multitasking and running multiple applications smoothly.
In terms of storage, the A350 Canvas Knight offers 32GB of internal storage and 2GB of RAM. However, it does not have a card slot for expandable storage. This may be a drawback for those who require larger storage capacity.
Camera and Battery
The main camera of the A350 Canvas Knight is a single 16 MP sensor with autofocus and LED flash, allowing users to capture high-quality photos and videos. The phone also features an 8 MP front camera, perfect for taking selfies or video calls.
The A350 Canvas Knight is equipped with a non-removable Li-Ion 2350 mAh battery, offering up to 175 hours of standby time and 7.5 hours of talk time. However, due to its high-resolution display and powerful hardware, the battery life may be a little short for heavy usage.
Connectivity and Other Features
The A350 Canvas Knight supports 2G and 3G networks, as well as Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 for wireless connectivity. It also has GPS and GLONASS for navigation and FM radio for entertainment. However, it does not have NFC capabilities.
This device also comes with various sensors, including accelerometer, gyro, proximity, and compass. These features enhance the overall user experience and make the phone more versatile and functional.
Conclusion
With its impressive design, powerful hardware, and reasonable price of about 240 EUR, the A350 Canvas Knight was a popular choice for smartphone buyers in 2014. While it may not compare to the latest smartphones in terms of specifications, it still remains a reliable and capable device for everyday use.
