In my review video, i said that i won’t test my hammer on this phone but what can i do, i just love Micromax too much to not try my hammer test on their flagship phone. Not just hammer, i have done lot of things to the phone, i am not going to spoil the surprise for you, just watch the video below to find out yourself what this phone has went through. Although one thing i wanna say that the phone did pretty good in all of the tests. Unfortunately its back didn’t survive as you can see in the photo above. It also looks like that the phone has punched itself and shattered the back glass because of that Micromax logo.

The main USP of Micromax Canvas Knight is it’s octa core processor and its price point. It’s like Micromax has shoved everything it could into one phone and thought it will become a best seller. Although there’s nothing wrong with that, what’s wrong is the execution of idea. The idea of putting powerful internals in a phone was a very good idea but they forgot one crucial thing. They forgot to optimize the phone around that hardware by optimization i am talking about software portion of the phone here. I don’t think even Android itself is capable of taking full advantage of an octa core processor. But right now it is becoming thinking among the consumers that more is better. Well, sometimes it is, sometimes it’s not. In this case it’s not.
Micromax Canvas Knight performed really well in benchmarks. To tell you exactly how well, let me tell you that it even beat Samsung Galaxy S4 in Antutu, don’t believe me? See for yourself in the screenshots below. Maybe Antutu is optimized for this chipset. The rest of the benchmarks were just average. Although these benchmarks don’t mean much yet because none of them is programmed to utilize each of the 8 cores available inside the Micromax Canvas Knight. I don’t think any of the benchmarks are fully designed yet to use the new Mali 450GPU either. In 3DMark which is mainly a gaming or GPU benchmark. When i ran general “ice storm” test it maintained frame rates around 28 fps constantly
Micromax Canvas Knight is the first octa core phone from Micromax. Honestly i bought this phone just to satisfy that itch of using an octa core phone. After all they are all the rage these days. It runs on Mediatek MTK 6592 processor clocked at 2 Ghz(Maximum) and Mali 450MP GPU, unlike previous Mediateks chipsets that had Power VR SGX GPUs which was a better choice in my opinion. But, anyway who cares about my opinion. The chipset seems quite powerful theoretically but only the real world tests will tell us about its potential.
