Micromax has been on the path of restructuring and has come up with a refined new logo. At its rebranding event, we saw an array of announcements and of course we didn’t miss the hidden message in its new ad. The company grabbed eyeballs by announcing 19 new products last month, out of which 15 were smartphones, and Canvas 6 and 6 Pro took the centre stage. Both carry the same price while catering to different user segments. We’ve got our hands on the Canvas 6 and taken it for a spin in our labs.
Build and Design: 7/10
The Micromax Canvas 6 credits a few firsts for the company – a unibody metal design and a fingerprint scanner – to begin with. But the metal body ensures it isn’t among the lightest 5.5-inchers available in the market. We got the champagne gold unit, which looked pretty classy, we must add. The bezel-less design lets the display cover the entire front side, with power and volume toggle buttons on right edge, and a hybrid SIM-storage slot on the left side. There’s an audio jack on top, and speaker grilles and microUSB port on the lower edge.
Turn it around and the back sports the new Micromax logo on the lower side and a rear snapper, LED and fingerprint scanner on the upper side. It’s a good looking device, but the sharp edges may bother some users (read me) for those who prefer smoother curves instead.
