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.

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.

Rear camera has features of autofocus and LED flash.

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

Canvas Doodle 4 is a dual SIM smartphone with both SIMs being GSM. It runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop. 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.

On paper, there is nothing special except very large screen size in Micromax Canvas Doodle 4 as it has very ordinary specifications that are easily available in a Rs. 5000 smartphones being sold in the market. However, the fact that its 1.3 GHz processor is octa core means that it allows the user to indulge in multitasking without causing any problems. Also, there is 1 GB of RAM in combination with this processor which means that the phone gives a very smooth performance. To make the phone last for a long time with such a large display that Canvas Doodle 4 has, there is a mammoth 3000mAh battery which is understandable.

There are some things going in favor of Canvas Doodle 4 however. It is a sleek phone with a very beautiful design. Despite having a monster sized screen and a very large battery, this smartphone is surprisingly lightweight. It has a metallic design and a matt finish means the phone grips well in the hands of the user despite its huge size.
