Women will love the Micromax Canvas Knight 2

The Canvas Knight 2 impresses in terms of design.

Owing to the unique design of the box itself, unboxing the Micromax Canvas Knight 2 for the first time sets a precedent for an amazing discovery only to present the user with an anti-climactic twist.

The Canvas Knight 2 impresses in terms of design. Flaunting a champagne gold colour, the phone comes with a metal frame which is sure to turn heads.

However, the bezel under the screen takes up unwanted space. Although not the slimmest at 6.3mm, the phone is among the slimmest smartphones around.

It comes with a 5-inch AMOLED screen and is protected with Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

The problem with the phone is that apart from its appearance, it doesn't really have a unique selling point. There's no X-factor.

The specifications for the phone are the same as any other smartphone available in the mid-range category. It runs on a 1.5Ghz Snapdragon octa-core processor and has 2GB of RAM.

The phone offers 16 GB of internal memory which can be expandable up to 32 GB via a microSD card.

It has a 13 -megapixel (MP) primary and a 5MP secondary camera.

Perhaps, the most entertaining feature of the phone is the camera.

The front camera has three "beauty" modes with which you can slim or tone down your face, remove blemishes and wrinkles, and make your eyes appear larger and bolder than they actually are.

With this feature, this phone is sure to become a favourite with women, especially in the era of selfies.

The phone has a non-removable 2,260 mAh battery and provides decent battery backup. It runs Android Lollipop 5.0 like most smartphones these days.

As with other Micromax phones, the Canvas Knight 2 comes with preloaded apps which can't be uninstalled, much to the dismay of the user.

Though more and more smartphones are striving to provide the user with something extra, Micromax's Canvas Knight 2 doesn't bring anything to the table.

It is priced at Rs 15,600 and is available on e-commerce platforms.
