<div style="text-align: justify;">Micromax is now one of the biggest tech brands in India and a couple of months back news reports suggested that the indigenous brand surpassed Samsung in terms of smartphone sales figures. While the company has been making some decent smartphones, their latest handset is an update for last year’s flagship, the Canvas Knight.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Like its predecessor, the Canvas Knight 2 has a unibody design with a glass front and back finish with a metal frame in the middle but this time, Micromax has put in a much better effort. Yes the looks are inspired from the iPhone 6, but it is impressive for something under Rs. 20,000. The smartphone is lean with a thickness of just 6.3mm which is one of the slimmest in the market. The display size is 5-inches with a 1280x720 resolution, which is fairly decent. Probably a 1080p resolution would have done more justice.<br> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/canvas-knight-2-large.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 397px; margin: 1px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The Canvas Knight 2 runs on the latest octa-core processor from Qualcomm, which is interesting to notice as Micromax had been relying on MediaTek for their processor chipsets until last year. The smartphone runs on stock Android Lollipop with some minor customizations and some preloaded apps. The performance is smooth and there were no issues in running apps and games. This is something that Micromax has improved over the past few months. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/canvas-knight2-1-large.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 430px; margin: 1px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">The rear camera has a 13MP resolution which isn’t extraordinary but does a decent job. The app comes with a variety of modes and settings which primarily only changes the colour temperature, tone and shutter speeds to compensate for different situations. The quality of pictures is great but does lack details especially when shooting in low light conditions. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><img alt="" src="http://bw-image.s3.amazonaws.com/canvas-knight2-2-large.jpg" style="width: 650px; height: 374px; margin: 1px;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Last year was all about providing a flagship experience at a mid-range price; the Canvas Knight 2 doesn’t make the cut. The Canvas Knight 2 is a fine deal if you want good looks and a decent performance package, sadly though, it doesn’t live up to its expectations and definitely not as impressive as the Canvas Knight. </div><div> </div>
