Micromax Canvas A1 Android One is my first smartphone. Honestly I was apprehensive about purchasing it. Not because of the company but because of the smartphone. I was not sure if I will be able to use a smartphone. But Micromax Canvas A1 Android One is extremely user friendly.
Making calls and receiving calls on it is very easy. So is sms texting. Yes searching for contacts was bit difficult initially but now with use it has become easy. The speaker volume is ridiculously low to call it a speaker.
I am not very keen on playing games on the phone. So I will not be able to say much about the gaming experience. But I love cats and hence got the game talking tom installed. I never had any issues with the said game. Finally as Tom was too demanding I uninstalled the game. Even multi-tasking was good. Even when several applications were running simultaneously the phone never hanged.
As regards the camera is concerned the daylight pictures are decent. But those shot during nighttime are nothing but pathetic. The other problem area is that as Micromax Canvas A1 Android One is run on google software it does not allow you sharing many things with other devices. I was not able to transfer my computer files to my smartphone. This indeed is a very big problem.
I was able to use What's app successfully. The handset is sleek but heavy to be carried into the pocket of your shirt. The data charging was eratic. But I am not sure who is to blame for it – the handset manufacturer or the service provider. Battery life is decent. It lasts for twenty-four hours.
For all those fans of Swadeshi moment who ask to buy Micromax products and not Samsung and Nokia for the reason that the former is an Indian company and the latter foreign companies, I have some news. It was clearly mentioned inside Micromax Canvas A1 Android One that it is made in China. Still I would call it a decent product.
