Micromax Canvas Nitro review: The comeback phone?

Micromax Canvas Nitro (A310) is the company’s attempt to retain its grip on a segment that it once ruled. The first phones of the Canvas series ignited the idea of offering phones that boast of good hardware specifications at a budget price.

The entry of new players like Xiaomi, ZTE, Motorola, Xolo and Asus has widened the segment even further. It certainly means there’s more choice for the consumer and competition for device makers. With the Canvas Nitro, Micromax claims it is democratizing technology, bringing high-end features to budget phone users. We try to find out if the Canvas Nitro is a better buy compared to other budget phones, in our review.
