Micromax Canvas Knight A350: Overview and specs comparison

The new Micromax Canvas Knight is the first phone from the Indian manufacturer that runs on a true octa-core MediaTek processor. So how does it stand up to its competition? Let's find out...

Smartphones have already entered the octa-core phase, however, only a few smartphone brands have launched devices which run on a true octa-core processor.  To make things clear, a true octa-core processor means that all of its cores run on the same clock speed and at the same time. Samsung’s Exynos 5 Octa 5410, which was seen on the Galaxy S4, is not a true octa-core as four of its cores are clocked at 1.6 GHz and the rest run on 1.2 GHz.

MediaTek is probably the only company whose true octa-core SoCs are being featured on smartphones. The recently announced Micromax Canvas Knight, with its competitive price tag, seems to be the next big game killer from Micromax.
So where does the Micromax Canvas Knight stand against iBerry Auxus Nuclea N2, the Motorola Moto G and the Samsung Galaxy Grand 2? Check out the comparison below...
