Appearance and Ergonomics
Externally, the smartphone is a bit like an Indian iPhone 6, and have dimensions roughly similar. However, the unit from Micromax is much thinner, not only iPhone, but any phone on the market. Its thickness is only 5.1 mm, while the back of the device has no camera lens sticks out, as is the case in a number of competitors.
The case is made of very high-quality plastic and polished aircraft aluminum, so that the weight of the smartphone is only 98 In the first couple of hours of use even difficult to feel that the device is in your hand, so it seems weightless.
The rest of the serious differences on the case of no competitors. The bottom panel has traditionally housed the microUSB slot and 3.5mm headphone jack, release button and the volume rocker as usual located on the left and right side panels, respectively. Control buttons, as well as many modern Android-smartphone, located directly on the screen of the device.
Monitor
Canvas Sliver 5 is equipped with a 4.8-inch AMOLED screen with a standard for not the most expensive flagship devices 1280 × 720 pixels. The same screen resolution, and one of the major competitors in the device - Samsung Galaxy Alpha. In this case both devices matrix is built on technology AMOLED, which implies a rich color palette and image transmission.
The screen Canvas really glares in the sun and does not irritate the sharpness and also has a very accurate and smooth colors. A protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass 3 largely has reduced the thickness of the device.
Iron
The smartphone was not the most powerful by today's standards Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 410 1.2 GHz, running on four processing cores Cortex A53.
Adreno 306 graphics accelerator, and 2 GB of RAM allow Indian unit provide a relatively good performance when everyday tasks, but after the launch of several demanding applications smartphone starts to significantly hang out.
Sometimes it can slow down and very colorful game, and a standard Internet browser. In addition, Micromax when the company refuses to display an animated logo, preferring to hang for a few seconds.
The synthetic test unit AnTuTu altogether modest scored 21,131 points, which puts it on par with a very low cost Asus ZenFone 5 and Xiaomi Mi 2.
In other respects, again there were no surprises. The amount of internal memory in the device is 16 GB with a predictable lack of slots for flash cards, and the battery capacity - 2000 mAh. At the same time, in spite of the subtlety of the body, the smartphone keeps excellent charging and almost loses it when you run the most demanding applications.
Pleased and provides technology Dirac HD audio quality. The speaker is a smartphone not only loud, but also qualitative, so that listening to music and watch videos on it is really nice.
Operating System
Micromax Canvas Sliver 5 is supplied with the standard version of the operating system Android 5.0 Lollipop.
According to the manufacturer, the smartphone is initially set a number of much-needed application, but in fact most of them virtually useless for Russian users.
Unless, of course, you do not suddenly decide to order something from the largest Indian online store Sanapdeal or see masterpieces of Bollywood through a special application Hotstar. The rest of the system works just fine, which, however, can be said of almost all smartphones with installed fifth version of Android.
Cell
The smartphone is equipped with an 8-megapixel main camera, which today is perceived somewhat archaic. So, in 2014 released Samsung Galaxy Alpha was already a 12-megapixel camera and has 8 megapixels Xiaomi Mi 2 and all was released back in 2012.
The quality of shooting, however, remains very acceptable, but the image processing slightly retarding.
