After a very long time Micromax launched a handset that seems worth buying, the Micromax Canvas Infinity with wide screen, quad core powered, 16MP front, 13MP back camera and more. But the good part is the price that makes it more tempting, so how good is this handset, read the review to know more.
With the launch of Micromax Canvas Infinity, the company is back in the mobile race. The price is good, features are good and in general the screen / build have already created a lot of interest and this review will help you know the actual performance in real world.
This is Snapdragon 425 quad core powered, not that powerful when it comes to gaming but for normal operations this is good enough. The main highlight of Infinity is the 5.7 inch screen, that does not look like as per the size and the 18:9 aspect ratio completely separates it when compared with other handsets.
The Canvas Infinity is impressive in all areas, except when it comes to high end gaming.

Micromax Canvas Infinity Gaming Review
Not really good for hard core gaming users. I played Modern Combat 5 game and that clearly lagged. The next game Asphalt 8 was playable in High quality mode but not that smooth, you will get better experience is medium quality mode.
Micromax Canvas Infinity Camera Review
Rear Camera : 13MP, auto focus, flash, f/2.0
Front Camera : 16MP, f/2.0, front flash
Video Recording : 1080p (FHD) resolution
The camera on the Micromax Canvas Infinity is above average, selfie shots are amazing, especially when using the portrait mode. This portrait mode works for front camera as well as for rear camera. It provides real time bokeh effects, however for this to work you need a face / faces it does not work on object. Check the video review to know more.
There is a new feature called camera roll that shows the recently shot images in the camera app itself, check image below and video to know more.
Rear camera can shoot FHD videos and the quality is pretty good. Night shots turned out really good in HDR and Night mode.
Camera Rating : 4 out of 5

Verdict
Micromax made a very good comeback by launching the Micromax Canvas Infinity handset, this is really a good looking unique handset that gives a premium feel. Display is unique and front camera does an impressive job. Since this is quad core, high end games will lag. Not really for hardcore gaming users but for normal users this is a very good option.
Micromax is offering 24 hours service promise – repair or replace. Price is also very good at Rs. 9,999.
Rating : 4.2 out of 5

How to turn on notification light for missed Call in Micromax infinity plz reply me,when I missed a call notification is not show on my phone
Mr Khobey
Gogi sir, one of the pics, where you have pin pointed freshly cut branch of a tree. Bookeh effect seems to be in action, and that too without any human face there in photo? You mentioned face is required for portrait mode to work, correct me if wrong?
Ranjan
Camera might have mistook that for face. All faces not white or wheat colored some can be really dark so software developer might have considered that…
kiara
Positive Review gogi bhai .
Sale 31 ki night me 12 bajte hi start hogi ya 1 ko morning baad ? aur kitne units available hain sale me ?

Hi Gogi,
Thanks for the review. Are they still pushing ads or is there automatic installation of some software. This used to happen insome Micromax phones of 2015.
Gogi Rana
There is one app called app centre that has a list of apps, now this app you cannot remove / disable, I guess this will show you notifications to install those apps. So far I have not seen any ads. There is one more thing most users use UCBrower once they do that, they will start seeing ads via UCBrowser.
Param
That is what I was talking about. The recommended apps can get very annoying.
Is there an option to block notifications from that app alone ?
If no, then this alone is a deal breaker 😟
Gogi Rana
There is option to disable data usage for this app when not using WiFi. That way when using SIM data the app is kind of disabled.
Vishal Varsha
is this better than lg q6?
Raja
Head SAR 0.29 highly impressive
Rahul Rattan
Can anybody confirm if it has wireless display option? Please.
Gogi Rana
Rahul there is no cast option in settings, but via notification settings there is.
Rahul Rattan
Thanks Gogi, is wifi direct same as wireless display? Is it possible to do screen mirroring using anycast Dongle?
Gogi Rana
Some TV support WiFi direct so u can stream.
Aadeep
Yes it has cast option, edit notification toggle and you can add cast option there…
So, wireless display option is there
Sreeni
Does it have call recording option?
Hey gogi.. please answer this.

I think the Bokeh effect is not good with the Secondary Camera.
Looking at the sample images, areas around your image are clear and the bokeh effect starts a bit further. Looks artificial and not nice.
Jay
Even ur fiinger and part of your arm is blurred. Too bad
Vsk
9999/- I think this one is the best camera phone compared to others.
For 9999/- oppo/vivo are selling some under specsed phones. No one have any complaints for that.
As per the review I came to know that it’s great for the price. Even though people are in search for any loop hole to criticize.
Jay
Its not great for the price if its camera is not good.
U cannot live with display when processor, battery, camera are all downsized.
Ranjan
ae bhai,tumhe camera chahiye ya phone. Is phone ka camera same price ke baki phones se better hai.
Suvham
Hello Gogi, there’s a superpixel mode in the camera app of this phone which takes several pictures and merges them all to create a better picture.. Can you post some samples using Superpixel mode please, if you still have the phone?
Also I think this would be a nice phone if the SoC is Snapdragon 625/630/660 with 4000 mAh plus battery.
samar
At the price of under 10,000, i think it is a good smartphone. Not perfect but still a good one. The only thing i didn’t like is the 2900 mah battery. Its a bit low capacity in compare of other smartphones at the same price range.
Sailesh Mishra
Whatever below 10k Infinity Display, Cool Cameras , removable back & Battery & Dual Sim + Expandable SD card slot, Earphone, Silicon case Upcoming Android Update O….its the best…Ab kya bachche ki jaan loge….Thank You Gogi aap perfect guidance dete. Baaki jisko jo feature chahiye vo phone le
Pranit Joshi
