Micromax Canvas HD A116 had the first mover advantage in the Indian market when it was the first quad core smartphone on a budget in the country but it went out of stock as soon as it went on sale. Amidst all this, companies have started to launch their quad core devices and Micromax’s arch rival, Karbonn has launched their 5 inch quad core smartphone, the Karbonn Titanium S5 at a price of Rs.11,990 exclusively through snapdeal.com for the time being and yes, it is in stock.
The S5 will flaunt a 5 inch screen which will have display resolution of 960×540 pixels. And this is the only difference between it and the Micromax flagship. The A116 has a screen of 720p resolution but if you consider the price difference, the Karbonn smartphone makes for a better buy. Its heart will be a 1.2 GHz quad core Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm which is expected to perform better than the Mediatek processor found in other budget quad core smartphones.
