It is a stripped down version of the Galaxy Note 3 but is priced very close to the same.
Budget smartphones is the new aspirational segment where handset makers are actively offering great packages. Not all budget smartphones offer same set of features for each handset maker has to give a trade-off on the specifications in order to make the handset appropriately priced. This week, we reported the launch of two budget level devices focussing on one important factor of a smartphone - battery.
Gionee introduced the new M2 for Rs 10,999 just a day after Micromax
announced the new Canvas Power for Rs 9,900. Both smartphones run Google
Android based mobile operating systems but offer different set of
features. Let us take a quick look at the similarities between both
handsets and weigh how different they are from each other.
Similarities
Design and Display
When it comes to design, the Gionee M2 looks glossy and bears
mono-block, candy-bar design. In comparison, the Canvas Power carries
the Canvas lineage with the rounded corner and typical candy-bar form
factor. The Gionee M2 measures 10.5 mm thick but there is no word on
Canvas Power's dimensions.
The Canvas Power and M2 sport 5-inch touchscreen display with 854x480
pixel resolution. The quality of display might be almost the same and
the difference would be barely noticeable.
Processor and OS
Under the chassis, both smartphones pack a quad-core mobile processor clocked at 1.3 GHz.
Micromax has packed a MediaTek MTK6582M mobile chipset inside Canvas
Power while Gionee remains tight-lipped about the mobile chipset inside
M2. Co-incidentally, both models run the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean update.
Storage
Both smartphones offer 4 GB internal storage out of which only about
1.15 GB would be available to the user and rest would be reserved for
the operating system and apps.
