As a mobile phone manufacturer, Micromax has come a long way. It is among the top 10 manufacturers across the globe. In India, depending on how you factor in the numbers, it is among the top 2 smartphone manufacturers. Besides, it got Hugh Jackman to endorse its range of smartphones.
And to a great extent, the brand ambassador has boosted the image and perception of the company to drive up its share in newer segments.
Coming to the specific device, the Micromax Canvas Knight 2 is an interesting device. It was launched early last month at Rs 16,299.
Build and Design: 8/10
The Micromax Canvas Knight 2 is well built. If you look at the phone and just consider the build quality, it hits all the right check boxes. The use of metal is brilliant.
The colour, contours and fine cut delivers a work of art indeed. At approximately Rs 15,000, that’s the closest you can get to the iPhone Champagne Gold.
It looks premium. Metal on the side, sandwiched between Corning Gorilla Glass on the rear, and a display on the front. On a slim phone, as slim as the Canvas Knight 2, that doesn’t help as the phone gets a bit slippery. During commuting, you need to be extra cautious while removing the Knight 2 from your pockets.
This is an area where it could have been better. No wonder, devices such as OnePlus add a texture with added roughness.
