We have compared the 8 GB version of the Moto G with the Canvas Power A96 considering that they are priced very close to each other.

Micromax last week announced an Android smartphone that comes with huge 4000 mAh battery. The phone, named as Micromax Canvas Power A96, is priced at Rs 9,990. Prior to that, Motorola re-entered the Indian market with its Moto G smartphone which comes in two versions - an 8 GB one priced at Rs 12,499 and a 16 GB version which costs Rs 13,999. Both 8 GB and 16 GB versions of Moto G have been hailed by many for its design and overall performance.

So here we have compared the 8 GB version of the Moto G with the Canvas Power A96 considering that they are priced very close to each other. Note that this compare is based on the specification of the handsets and their performance may differ in the real life situation.

The Moto G comes with a 4.5 inch display with 1280x720 pixels resolution, which means it has huge 329 ppi pixel density. It also comes with coloured back panels (hopefully it comes bundled with the phone). To be specific, the Moto G is 129.9 mm tall and 65.9 mm wide. Since it has a curvy body, it measures 11.6 mm thick at the middle while measuring 6 mm at the edges.
