Micromax A290 Canvas Knight Cameo - User Reviews

  • I have bought this phone in 2014 when it was just launched this is so good in any condition many times it fall down badly from me but still always working properly no problems with me...

If yes, I want to used this once again but if no then I should bought a new 4G phone

  • Dear All Don't By Any Micromax Phone

  • superb phone.. i loved it... camera, dispaly clarity is awesome... good quality smartphone.. i recommend this display/camera 8/10 battery 7.5/10 sound 7/10

  • initially,quite good to use..bt bttry drains out fast and phone also gets hanged after around 8 months.

  • It is a good phone but battery will dry fast after one year use.

  • micromax phone is use and throw type mobile. it does not work for more than 6 months. if handed over for repair in varranty period no one cares for repair . worst service.

  • superb quality,great functioning fab phone.....

  • Hanging problems

  • Allauddin Patel One year back purchased this phone Battery problem, Launcher, contact, message, almost all hangs. Pls don't purchase this company mobiles

  • Bought this phone on the launch date itself. No problem at all. Good work MMX

  • Will suggest you not to buy this phone as it has alot many problems. 1-The phone has a lot of charging issues,does not charge properly.. I had sent it for service..after 4 months since the day I got one..and now again the same problem has arised. 2-When you use any app in this phone it often shows, "unfortunately this app has stopped" , or "Unfortunately this app isn't responding" n then it hangs. 3-You'll have alot of network issues with this phone. 4-The features tell that it is a dual sim phone..but it's actually not a dual sim..it's either you insert a sim or you insert a memory card on that tray. Extremely disappointed with this model launched by the micromax company. Not worth spending your money on this model.

  • Its been working very well, but idk what happened but can't' download files and my thought on that is the SD card storing problem, the reading is perfect.

  • Very bed phone I buy this phone 7900 after 3 day network problem

  • Suck bettery problem. and charging pin probleam. is main pleas dont buy it

  • batry problem...

  • Camera problame

  • Just use the saftey pin bro

  • Got the phone in Sep 2014, there were no major issues till couple of months, but battery draining problem started after 3 months, have replaced the charging point in the phone twice within two years, got it for around 12k, have spent another 4-5 thousand on its maintenance. Would not suggest buying this phone. Micromax has a painful service centre in jaipur, they take 20-30 days on a average to rectify any problem. From this perspective do not buy any phone from micromax if you stay in town B.

  • Mainly charging problem Battery oveeheating Usb not supported Hang after a few time

  • hate the phone...big headache " micromax". problems within the second month including battery,charging,software issues.ruined my 11000 bucks+ 2000(repair cost). do not buy any micromax phone#strongly suggested.

  • Haven't seen such a bad phone .. Within 10 days battery problem started and even after giving for servicing the problem continued.. Hate thisphone loss of rs.11000 :( . just hate it

  • Last 9 months I'm using this model out of this 4 months in service centre battery charging problem

  • Cell city in bandra hill road services and makes ur a290 a dream phone..just go there for charging issues.. Use samsung s6 charger..brilliant.

  • Everything is good in this phone except for the lockscreen. We can not choose the deafault android look its either that black screen to swipe up or the videos screen. And the most irritating part is it itself chooses wether to ask for unlock pattern or not. Asked the service centre they had no idea about it and said please sir check it in the settings maybe it will work. Who hire those idiots.

  • its very good phone for internet access purpose, surfing speed is amazing and camera is also nice. only charging port problem is there and sometimes it behaves very strange lIke aito shut down. Also u cant talk on phone without speaker or headphone, this feature is ridiculous

  • it's a very gud phone i have been using the set since 1 yrs and there is no prob, a gud phone

  • It's worst model I have ever come across.Guys, I am not posting this comments by deep frustration. Logically, I have come across Overheating(53 degrees),hanging,Charging port,hardware issues,software issues,Camera quality,Sim+Memory slots is crazy. I have been rigorously running behind service centers and issue is persisting.Hence, get the device replaced at free of cost.

  • i play Asphalt 8 in it without Lag.[its storage space is over GB's]

  • did i get the flex on this moble

  • Camera quality is quite good. The front 5 MP camera has very high definitions. Well, the 8 MP camera works quite fine at all circumstances in my point of view. I am using this mobile from past 5 months. Micromax has done quite a good job.

  • Yeah I also be brought this phone 3 March 2015 it's good for a month and then it's not charge then it's have always a charging problem I gave it to care they sole bt still problems in this phone what should I do yr

  • I want this phone,but am confused about phone camera quality.

  • nano sim and memory card at same time. So finally one sim can only be used at a time with SD card. So kindly resolve this problem.

  • Drawback of this phone is : 1)we use either dual sim (or) one sim and memory card. 2)camera :-while zooming photos the photos was not that much impressive . Remaining all good.

  • How to remove quick look option from home screen??

  • Memory card problem

  • Please tell me k has anyone faced the problem of not getting signal strength.?

  • I bought this fone last Friday. The set was not showing signal.I went to service center they got it replaced. Again the new set was showing the same defect. The company is again giving me the option of exchange. I m confused should I get another fone or sell it at second hand price

  • Charging pin problem

  • Please make it upgradeable to lollipop. Thank you.

  • i have been using this fone from last 2 months. it is great phone.great camera front and rear both. no phone has as good camera as knight cameo has. superfast interface. super glossy from both sides. great battery backup. i have not faced any issue related to batery backup od phone. great battery backup on normal useage. definitely worth your money guys.

  • Nice phone with related other phones in the market

  • It Is A Quite Good Phone... And Camera Is Just Faaduu.... Best Pics And Selfies... For Camera It is Just Awesome Phone Like Other.. But battery Life Is So Down... Its Drain In Just 2-3 Min...

  • does it support otg

  • really nice phone. camera awesome.....................!

  • How to put sim and SD card in same tray.

  • press recent application panel there is a option of widgets click it and then choose what ever you want on your home screen

  • Just hold home screen then select the widget and swipe into a side and you can see a camera logo u just press and hold and drag into home screen

  • I have been using this phone since the past 6 months.The phone is pretty good parting the battery problem.I have faced 2 same battery problems within the 6 months of purchase.The battery drains within 2-3mins.I would suggest to not to go for this model.And the amount of system apps is just too much.All usless apps have been preloaded in the phone and it is not even possible to uninstall them.These system apps also lead to the drain of battery.Surely,The battery backup of this phone needs to be improved and the charging point(i.e.disc inside the point) should be made of a good material like used in samsung instead of a delicate material.If these few changes are made the phone would probably be amongst the top ten best phones in India. It is a kind request to make the following changes thank you.

  • Yes same.I agree.I have also faced the same problems with this phone.Please don't go for this phone at all.Had same battery problems twice within six months of purchase.This phone is truely a waste of money.The battery of this phone drains within every three minutes.Go for Lenevo s660 instead!Thank you:)

  • Xceptionally Good Phone...!!! Worth Money.. i bought it last year... within this one year the phone hanged only once... that too when i locked the phone without exiting mx player... flawless ui... best camera in its range .... CONS: Charging Pin gets damaged every 3 to 4 months.. no matter how much you take care +Micromax Services take 10 to 15 days to repair it.. Occasionally heats up...

  • Tried So Many Phones ,But A290s Camera is realy dmn goood ,, but the battery dies in 7 8 months max. but no problem ,,love the camera

  • Attt mobile

  • I was brought phone in 2nd day of lunching the A290. my experience of phone is good but not better. camera of this phone is tooooo goood front and back booth.

  • Look vuse pone is good ,copy of apple.. Very light.. Camera very sharp nd welll.. Over all pone is good but its battery problem arise within months..

  • Is it possible to insert both memory card as well as nano Sim?????

  • lovely mobile

  • Don't even think of buying this phone. It has a design defect. Shows battery charging problem within 3-4 months of use. Battery stops charging-even though charging indicator shows battery charge on but battery % goes on decreasing till battery is dead. Had bought this phone in Sep 14. Went for warranty repair in Jan 15 for the problem described above. MMX kept the phone for 25 days and gave a new set as replacement in 1st week of Feb 15. The second phone developed exactly the same defect in Jun 15. Again gave it for warranty repair on 27 Jun 15 and not herad from MMX till date despite several complaints. So take your on decision before buying.

  • I bought this phone 7 days ago. No any issue i found related phone. superb phone.....

  • I'm using this phone for 6 months.. Let me list my experience.. Pros- camera. It works really good both front and back camera. There is no other good feature. Cons- 1. Phone heats within minutes while using 3g or WiFi 2. While using wen connected to a charger it turns into an owen 3. Battery lasts barely for 5 hours.. I charge it three times daily.. 4. I doubt if there is really an octacore processor inside because when I open wahtsapp it takes nearly 15 seconds to open 5. Internet connectivity is poor with 3g speeds really disappoints 6. I play clash of clans around 10-12 hours daily once wen I enter the game phone heats up within seconds 7. Often touch response goes off and hav to wait til it comes 8. 1gb ram lacks speed.. Better don't buy this phone

  • 1st dear Krishna, every one is not from Bretain like u born n boughtup there. I know u never been there now ever u can pronounce the name properly. This is good phone honestly but the battery is worst. Mocromax can't compare them with Samsung. Also u can use 2 sim but if u use 2 sim then there is no place for sd card. So one place is for sim as well as sd card. Which one u want depends. Other then this ph is good n it can compare with other good products. Again I will say battery is worst then u think.

  • Hey gyzz is it right to buy this phone?

  • This is an awseome phone!! I use an iphone..! The most amzing thing is to see an under 10K its SUPERBLY DONE!! Though ther r some points to rmember : this is a dual sim ph it has 2 Simcard slots for which in Slot 1 is for the MICRO SIM but the 2nd Slot can in the size of a NANO SIM which is as the same size of an SD CARD size... So its ur choice ?? the camera is goo enough as compared to the under 10k wit a lot of pre installed apps!! And with unrooted anoriod phone nowdays, 5GB should be good enough for apps for this segmenty..!!its even got alomost all the SENSORS..Impresssive Its got Compass TOO... whih is not many in this segment. Wit 1GB RAM and an Tru OCTA CORE(works simultaneously) ..! perfome=nce is also good..!! The battery cannot be removed like the iphone..! Can b replaced after some yeras... :)..! Go for it guys... !!

  • frnds plz tell me it is of dual sim or not

  • Not bad. But night camera view bad

  • its very bad about phone they are advertising its a dual sim .if its a dual sim than were is memory card option.

  • Superb Ultimate Phone with good battery backup, slim n light to hold and superb camera quality in the range. Though u can run only 1 sim rather than instead of 2 if you're not using sd card. If you're a game lover u can play heavy games as well. My phone hv more than 16 games installed since I'm using 1 sim only and 32gb class10 sd card. you can also send or directly install ur games in sd card. It got antutu benchmark of 27436 which is quiet impressive, it's all because of Mali-450MP4 GPU. I've tried- asphalt8, B&G:Immortals, Angry birds go, Plants&Zombies2, Real Racing, Frontline commando 2 etc. If you're planned to purchase then just go for it with decrease in price within 9k. I'm using it without any lag till now. Good work Micromax.

  • Yeah,Lena,You are right. I faced the same problem earlier like you've faced. I guess they are scaming us.

  • This was my first non ios purchased. I dont have any regrets in buying this phone. I have been using this phone for almost 6 months now. I have not faced a single issue till now. 1.This phone hosts best camera in the budget 2.Battery of my phone lasts easily for a day 3. Have not faced a any issues till now. 4. 5 of these phones will be available for the price of 1 iPhone Only draw back I found was, haven't got a single update to os

  • To make proper use of dual SIM functionality of this phone (easily turn cards and data on/off, schedule SIM on/off switch, etc.), go to Google Play and seach for a free app named Dual SIM Switch Widget. It's a blessing, if one card is for business (working hours).

  • shAll i buy this phone,or not???

  • dont buy it it seems to be a good piece because the features are really really good,no doubt about it but the charging and motherboard problems occurs in 3-4 months. and the serviece center....takes a lot of time.

  • Good phone looking good premium look camera quality best this phone bt service center not good very poor service

  • I want to say this is phone is cheap and the best. Yes charge will stand for one day not more than that. Apart from that i dont find any issues with this phone and so far people who saw my phone asked a question that whether I bought I phone 6.. It has good design and very light weight. My personal advice to the people who is going to buy the phone is install Clean Master and clean the Junks frequently and boost your ram speed. The photos it is biggest plus in this phone.. we went to London recently and my friends liked the clarity of this phone. You wont believe me we left all our personal cameras in our room and started taking snaps with this phone.. It is a great phone.. Charge level stands for one day. Dont believe the people who gives crap reviews.

  • Not charging properly.....really pathetic.... Don't waste money on it. Disappointed User.

  • Install clean master and run it

  • After 100 days my battery is perfect Micromax canvas nitri

  • i am fedup!! badly desperate over my decision to buy this set now my set is to replaced..that too l take 20 days!!! (mobile charging port is loose..fedup with micromax customer service too)

  • worst phone i have ever used .battery quality is so bad dnt waste money in buying micromax products

  • Please don't waste your money buying this phone.....worst ever had! Battery will not work after 1 month. Worst service..I gave my phone before 2 months for servicce but still I didn't got it back.Everytime they say that "I will call you today afternoon" |or| "Will surely give it within next 10 days".

  • Its the best smartphone i hav seen Better from samsung No lags, awesome camera both front nd back, awesome display everythings fine Go for it

  • less then half price u say? with less power cpu, less resolution, less power battery, worse camera that OP has (well IMX135 is really good but IMX214?...) no 4K, no 4K DCI, no Slo-Mo and what comes next is a 64bit SOC on KitKat that doesnot supports 64bit :D very funny comparison between Yureka and OPO :D oh did i say Yureka or i should say coolpad f2, aaah it`s rebranded :P yee now understood :P Shitcromax can`t even make their phone? how poor

  • The OnePlus One certainly has an edge over Micromax�s Yu Yureka smartphone. It�s one of the best smartphones we�ve seen this year and definitely the better of the two Cyanogen smartphones. That said, Yureka seems like a better option in the long term for Indian users, as the phone will get future Cyanogen updates. Miromax has also promised that it will provide doorstep service and replacements and a great warranty policy. If you purchase the OnePlus One in India, however, you won�t get Cyanogen updates and instead, receive a customised OS by OnePlus. Moreover, the Yureka provides a great deal of features and services at less than half the price of the OnePlus One.

  • Is this phone is upgradable to android L?? Plz tell me ..

  • It's a tempting phone but honestly don't go for it. I purchased mine two and a half months ago (approx.) and one week into the purchase the battery refused to charge. Handed it over to the service center and they "reset the software", hours later only to be faced by the same problem. Then they had me hand it over to the official service center because they had to "replace the mother board" and for the past two months I haven't heard about my phone. Emails aren't replied to and customer service is forever busy. The service center claims to be "out of parts" or the phone has been dispatched. Honestly, save yourself the trouble and money and invest into another phone.

  • hi nice phones

  • My mobile was unable to charge I gave in service center they said they need to replace mother board and gave me back within 3 days and now it's working fine

  • this phne has so many prblms. i think company should chk this

  • it has one micro sim slot and another slot for using a nano sim or an SD card (slot is same for both)

  • Am using micromax A290, the problem with the phone is that u cant use two sims and memory card at same time but u can either use one micro sim and nano sim together or you opt for one micro sim and just a memory card. this is because the nano sim and memory card shares one slot. personally, i use two sim cards; micro and nano sims.i dont use memory card since the phone has storage in built that's up to 8gb

  • wifi conectivity in the office may be the problem.

  • very bad phone....automatic switch off,battery discharge very quickly and when i went to service centre..the are asking u have to keep yr mobile for 1 month...it will go to company...dont buy any micromax phone..

  • Hey, is any one facing any Wifi connectivity issues on cameo? Wifi connection on my phone is not stable. I'm having this issue only with the Wifi service at my office, back at home its absolutely fine.

  • 1 slot is for micro sim and 2 slot is for nano sim or sd card, u can use only one at a time..

  • Hi all, i m quite interested 2 buy this phone, but after going through the reviews i have only one question 2 ask. mobile is dual sim capable with expandable memory card, but people who have posted reviews comment that v can't use dual sim, so i m confused here. So can anybody using this phone with dual sim & SD card post me their experience whether r they facing issue in using 2 different network sim & SD card.

  • Thanks for the clarification Pradeep. Are there any more people who are facing issues with charging port??Please reply guys,I want to decide on this phone but this charging and USB complaint is stopping me from doing so.

  • Guys I have been using this phone since 1.5 months no problems at all not even the USB one every one is complaining about,very one you can go for it also I want to say that I have a white color piece and my phone's backside borders glow when I turn on the flash light. Is that a problem please anybody help me who have the white color phone

  • Canvas knight cameo or Xolo hive which is best?

  • .its superb and feeling worthy about this phone. Go for it.

  • If you don't bother about a large screen than cameo is a good phon for you. But keep in mind that you can't use two sim card at a time and if you want use both sim at a time than you can't use memory card. Otherwise a best function in cameo is that it's otg support while nitro don't.

  • Guys,how many of you using this phone for about 2 months are having issues with USB port??And people who have had problems,what was the cost of getting it replaced??Is the problem coming again??Plzz reply.

  • Which one is better nitro or cameo plz tell me

  • Which one is better nitro or cameo plz tell me

  • Everything is outstanding in this phone in this range.. Only charging and usb connectivity issue.. Bt it can be fixed by changing charging jack.. The only flaw is this.. Otherwise its terrific phone.. With an outstanding processing speed.. I love the speed.. It never hangs or stop working.. Camera quality is awesome. Battery life is 10 hours after full charging.. Everything is commendable rather than charging, USB jack issue.its a common problem in knight cameo. Go buy !! Just check the port..

  • Awesome mobile using since 2 months, never faced a problem. I got my money's value. Go ahead and buy it.

  • Micromax A290 Canvas Knight Cameo is a best mobile ..

  • This phone is not a durable because i have purchased it 1.5 month ago and now its having the charging problem as its charging socket not working, in other hands overall operating is good to say, both of camera's quality is good. One other drawback is that this is optional dual sim phone as we can use either memory card or sim card because there is one slot for both.

  • it has small screen 4.7 inch and less ram than needed if you want same type of phone with bigger screen and a better processor buy karbonn titanium octane it has 5.0 inch screen and 1.7 processor the best part is it is cheaper

  • Points given are above 9.0 is it better than htc m8. Gsm arena tell me how u rate this... or micromax gives u money to rate so higher...

  • That is incorrect. 120 to 130gm max.I am using this phone for 2 months and it is light weight.

  • well, i haven't used micromax nitro so can't really suggest u, but prices are almost same(10.5K for cameo n 11.5K for nitro, sources:ebay.in) but u get better RAM n protection n rear camera in nitro while cameo has a better design n lightweight n higher PPI density ... choice is yours ... n yeah, at least in my case, there's no heating problem with cameo, it gets heated up a bit, but that's not too much n very common with all the android phones so nothing to worry ....good luck :)

  • Hello Friends, A good phone for 11k, good display,sound quality, touch quality. Drawbacks - phone hang..although i have closed max of the applications other then FB & wats app. Once screen is locked its takes time to unlock it moreover sim changing is a issue. I am out of India for few months and I am facing problem to use the phone. Thanks, Sandeep

  • fantastic...........phone

  • in my view A290 is better choice...front camera 5 mp, rear 8 the camera quality and display picture qulaity browsing speed all super with A290.. BEST PHONE TO BUY .. I GOT THE MOBILE FROM EBAY at the cost of 10500 Rs. really value for money..go for A20-

  • HI Friends, i am using A290 from micromax since last 20 days...i can say its a wonderfull phone in this price range. Mobile speed is superrr...and the phone display qulaity and stliesh look is really super. if u hold this phone in hand 100% sure everone will ask you which model, and cost...that much syilesh look it have.. thanks to Micromax....battery is decent ..u can use for one day...for normal game, whatsapp and browing usage...100 % u can for this no dobut about product display, quality, speed etc...All the best

I got it in about a week, more thn my usual experience with online shopping but can't blame ebay for this, courier company wasted 3 days to deliver it from local warehouse to my home ... So dont worry about online shopping, either ebay or amazon whichever u prefer, juat go for it ...

  • Hi phone gets hanged while using Skype for about 30 mins also, facing some OS problems lately, phone is stuck some times and then after switching OFF (after a great struggle for 1 min - completely frozen) and then ON, its OK does anybody face this?

  • It's actually 312 ppi. source:

  • not bad yaar

  • definitely go for this, u won't find a phone like this even within 15k range !

  • excellent, a real gem !!!! i bought this phone about a month back from ebay, got it for 10900 INR, n all i have to say about the performance, design n features of this phone is, simply WOW !!! at least 10 people have asked me if this is an iphone !!! it's so light weight n so slim n fits into ur hands so perfectly! n octa core processor makes it ultra fast ... thought the best feature about this phone is cameras, specially the front camera, it's a 5 MP camera but works much better than it, i bet u won't get any better front camera than this even in mobiles of 20-25 Ks !!!! rear camera is good, not excellent though, but recording is simply superb, specially the auto light adjustment ... n yeah, i read here that its having heating problem n battery drains very quickly, but ihaven't faced any of this issues, heating problem is normal as in other phones n battery lasts for more than a day(continuous wifi on, 10-15 min of calling, 4-5 hours of music play n 2 hours of gaming !!! so this was all about the pros ... there are no real cons of this phone still here are some ... all those built in apps sucks !!!! common with micromax phones. .... rear camera could have been a little better, but can't complain this for 11k !!! u can have dual sim or microsd card, so ultimately it's not a dual sim, but i dont' think that's a big issue, specially looking at the pros of this phone ... voice quality during calls could have been better ... that's it .... i highly recommend this product, it's far better than moto-g or xolos n gionees ... (i've used those phones so i can tell that) ... at the end, i would simply say, finally micromax has developed a phone that doesn't look like a micromax phone !!!! if u have any doubts regarding to this, u're free to ask ... thank you, saumya ...

  • Phone is awesome, no heating , battery back up is also good. Phone performance is very very good. I think if micromax provides these kind of a gem, im sure everyone will like to buy it. Moreover everyone complains about dual sim. I request you guys to think as a single sim and use the phone as u like :) Overall this phone is considerably good

  • this one is the best phone . battery is good n overall performance is ultimate love this phone....

  • why all micromax handset having Mediatek processor ..it all bullshit giving in specifictin need to upgrade with snapdragon process atleast should have 401 or above processor...these handset is good for all bhaiya logs..

  • "4ppi" what a display....!!!!! wow...!!!

  • Design is wow !! Super design .

  • what is this 4ppi ?

  • Does this phone really have glass back panel?

  • Wanna go 4 dis phone...is it nyc? Or i shoud check sum other micromax phone

  • Other advantage no 1 noticed that is other fone can run apps upto internal fone memory capacity but this phone can support games on memory card so biggest ur memory card bigger ur game storages game directly store on your memory card

  • I do agree performing superb

  • Guys dont need dual sim buy this phone reason is its antutu score is 26500 Which is near to galaxy s4 27000 gaming superb can run asphalt 8 rf14 gta injustice, ets if u run same games on grand 2 it will lag despite of ram 1.5gb because processer is low for grand 2 this fone knight cameo has octa core clocked At 1.4gh so super performing fone Other advantage no 1 noticed that is other fone can run apps upto internal fone memory capacity but this phone can support games on memory card so biggest ur memory card bigger ur game storages game directly store on your memory card

  • we cannot use dual sim because another slot we use sim or mmc slot

  • As a phone from Micromax,it is better to have a phone like this.It's performance is much better and the display quality is good.As usual there is a slight heating problem when the temp. outside is high.It usually causes no lags.It has dual sim,but to insert a memory card ,we can only insert it through only the nano sim slot.It has lot of features as gestures,blink screen.quick panel,etc.Really the overall view is good.I recommend this phone as it is good.

  • is there any issue regarding with sim n mem.card?

  • design is owsome

  • well, i think that no phone has a 4ppi display

  • Outstanding design..... Outstanding performance.... Price is less than any other related phone...

  • super phone

  • Who to like the mobile

  • The mobile is not open the camera and some compete plz don't parchment

  • realy ,,,,,,,,

  • i like it this phone ,///

  • waiting for this phones love it!!!!!!!!!!

  • useless phone, either you can use dual sim or memory card. common slot given for 2nd sim & memory card.

  • awesome phone in this range,camera is so good,,,,,,

  • I'm not able to understand- why Micromax released this phone? Even its own phone Micromax Canvas Nitro easily after-score than this! By the way, better than this, choose XOLO Play 8X-1100!

  • I play. Gt racing 2 on mm knight. Cameo. It run smuth. Like. Any. Other. Phone Camera. Is also. Acceptable Not bad good phone

  • another hate story launched ...
