Micromax Canvas Doodle 3 A102 Benchmarks on AnTuTu, Quadrant, Nenamark

    The Canvas Doodle 3 uses the familiar MediaTek MT6572 chipset with Mali-400MP GPU and 512 MB RAM. We have seen that with 1 GB RAM this chipset performs worse, which is a bit strange. Nevertheless, the 6-inch display on the Canvas Doodle 3 has a rather low FWVGA resolution which will boost the graphics score a bit. The Canvas Doodle 3 is a phablet and budget lover's dream phone. Its priced at about Rs. 8500, which makes it a good offering in the entry-level segment, but before we conclude on that let's have a look at how the Canvas Doodle 3 A102 performs in our benchmark tests.
