Micromax Canvas 2 Plus: 5.7-inch HD+ display, Quad-core CPU, 4000mAh battery

Micromax, a smartphone brand from India, has introduced a new low-end smartphone — the Micromax Canvas 2 Plus.

This new device is built from entry-level materials. There’s the 5.7-inch HD+ screen with the now-standard 18:9 aspect ratio.

For some reason, the company didn’t mention the exact chipset they used for the Micromax Canvas 2 Plus. However, they did say that it runs on a 1.3GHz quad-core processor — which we can safely speculate that it is from MediaTek.

But despite the seemingly underwhelming processor, it does come with a generous 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It also has a large 4000mAh battery — which is more than enough to last you for at least a day or two, considering that it only needs to power entry-level hardware.

On the downside, it only comes with Android 7.0 Nougat which is really outdated by today’s standards with Android P already in the pipeline.
