Micromax Canvas Nitro A310 Review: Software Issues Aplenty

By Abhinav Pathak on Oct 13, 2014 04:50 PM

The Canvas Nitro was meant to compete with the onslaught of the Moto G and Asus Zenfone 5. But its no match in terms of performance nor usability. Moreover the Canvas Nitro heats-up in gaming and there are quite a lot of performance issues here. Games as well as UI lags even though this phone has an octa-core processor with 2 gigs of RAM, again pointing to faulty software. There's quite a lot of bloatware pre-installed as well, further deteriorating the user-experience.

7.4

With sluggish performance, UI lags, app crashes and over-heating, the Canvas Nitro is not the competition Micromax hoped to beat Moto G or Zenfone 5 with.
