Build And Design Of Micromax Canvas Spark :-
In terms of design language, Micromax Canvas Spark seems to flaunts a two tone design, here you will find its back panel of Grey or White in color and there is a metal like frame which runs all across its body which is silver or gold respectively. Although its not a metal, it’s a plastic which give fake look of metal, and does it job very nicely.
On the right side you have volume rockers followed by your power and sleep button, these are again plastic button finished in chrome and gives nice feedback on usage.
At bottom you have Micro USB port along with your primary microphone place just next to it.
There is nothing on left side, at top you have a 3.5mm audio jack for your headphone, there is no secondary mic on the device for noise cancellation.
The back panel of this device reminds us OnePlus One, Canvas Spark too has got moonstone like back panel, although its slippery and can slip out of your hand.
There is a 8MP auto focus rear camera with LED flash which can take decent images under low light conditions, and below camera you will find Micromax branding and speakers.
When you remove back panel you get access to your dual SIM slot along with Micro SD card slot which allows you to expand its memory upto 32GB via micro SD card slot. It houses a 2000 mAh battery which is sealed inside and won’t come out.
At front you have 4.7 inch qHD display screen which is protected by Corning Glass 3, a rare thing which you find in this price category which seems quite sharp and vivid, even under sunlight you can easily read text on screen. Below screen you have three touch capacitive buttons which do not support backlit. Above screen you have a 2MP front camera for video calling.
