We all are looking for smartphones, but take a step back when the topic is about the price. When it comes to the smartphones of Samsung Galaxy and Micromax, the competition is tough. Why? Their competition is actually in the field of pricing where each one is competing with each other in terms of offering a phone that is within the budget.
Having said that, let us now look closely into these devices and what each one is offering. This will help us understand the differences closely.
Comparing the Operating System
We will start with Micromax. It is the Micromax A116 Canvas HD which runs on the Jellybean 4.1.2. However, the real problem starts when one tries to install more than 10 apps on this phone. Once the apps are loaded, the phone starts throwing its tantrum for the rest of the downloads.
When it comes to the operating system, the only problem is in the operating system version of Android phones. Hence, there’s a need to get a better and updated version. As a solution, Canvas HD comes with Jellybean 4.1.2 update that is available.
It’s the opposite side of the story when it comes to Samsung. This is because the Android version of Samsung phones is defined differently. It is for this reason that for quite some time now Samsung has remained to be the favorite of everyone. Samsung has been regularly updating its Android versions. Samsung Galaxy Grand features a Jellybean 4.1.2 firmware.
Screen and Body
Micromax Canvas HD A116 has an exceptional 294ppi density when it comes to its display along with 5-inch IPS LCD Capacitive touch screen. You will also find 16 million colors in it.
Samsung Galaxy Grand has a 5-inch screen, but its density is 187ppi. It also has an LCD capacitive IPS touchscreen with 16 million colors.
What should you choose to buy? These two offers the same battery capacity yet comes with great built quality so you’re left to look at the other features separating them. The choice really depends on what you need. If what matters most to you is multimedia, the Galaxy Grand is the better option. If you look to have a good performing phone, not necessarily the camera performance, the Canvas HD would not let you down. Of course, if you want the best value for your money, do not discount the fact that Samsung Galaxy has been around for a while already, it’s tried and tested for quality service as well as support. Micromax doesn’t really have a good track record to back it up as far as after-sales support is concerned.
