Indian consumers have not seen a smartphone with such a huge display before. It is this feature that is going to be the USP of this smartphone.
Despite the fact that Canvas Doodle 4 has aroused so much of curiosity among the buyers, there is absolutely nothing about this amazing smartphone on the official website of Micromax. The company has made no official announcement about the phone and it is not even listed on theircompany site. However, given the fact that this large sized smartphone with a 6 inch screen will be priced at just Rs. 9499 is an indication of things to come. Do not expect high end features of path breaking specifications with this new phone from Micromax.
Display
As mentioned above, it is the display of Micromax Canvas Doodle 4 that will be its unique selling point. This phone will boast of a 6 inch monster screen even though it will only produce a resolution of 960 x 540p. The phone will make use of IPS LCD screen with a disappointing qHD display. However, this will not deter many of the buyers as they will be more interested in the size of the screen rather than its brightness or resolution. The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass so you can breathe easy.
Processing Power
Micromax Canvas Doodle 4 will be fitted with a 1.3 GHz quad core processor from MediaTek. This smartphone will boast of 1 GB of RAM and onboard storage of 8 GB. Users will have the option of expanding this internal memory using micro SD cards up to 32 GB. These specs mean that Doodle 4 will be no advancement over its older siblings. Micromax is trying to sell a smartphone with average specs solely on the basis of a very large display.
Dimensions
Micromax Canvas Doodle 4 is certainly a very large phone that resembles a small notebook in dimensions. It measures 165.5 x 85.3 x 8.5mm. Though the phone is not very slim, it is certainly a handful and looks like a 7 inch tablet in the hands of a user.

This smartphone has an HTML browser. Sadly, this smartphone does not support 4G connectivity. This phone comes with a stylus. It is packed with a large 3000mAh Li-ion battery that provides enough power to last for a full day’s work. Perhaps Micromax realized that the phone would run out of battery if it used a higher resolution on display of the phone. This is why this monster sized screen phone has an average resolution.
Conclusion

For all those who travel a lot, the large screen of this smartphone would work like a magnet as they can view movies and watch video songs while on the move. However, the fact that Doodle 4 does not offer support to 4G connectivity is a big drawback of this smartphone.

It has a metallic design and a matt finish means the phone grips well in the hands of the user despite its huge size.
