Question- How is Design and Build Quality?


Answer- Design and build quality is one of the better things about the Canvas 6 as it looks very premium. I was really impressed with the design language; it looks dissimilar to any of the budget phones we often see. It has an edgy design which looks a lot like Nexus 5 from the front but the chamfered edges on the corners make it look sharper. It has a curved back that sits perfectly in the palm and also feels very comfortable. I really liked the way they have placed the rear camera, it looks beautiful and suits the whole design.

Conclusion

Canvas 6 is a great looking smartphone that can dominate most of its competitors with its looks. There are a lot of good things about the phone including the display, design, camera, performance and most importantly the price. At INR 13,999 it is a good deal if you are looking for a phone that can take on most of your tasks if you are a moderate user.

It surely has a lot of competition in this range but some of its features take down the competition pretty well. What I did not like was the software, it looked very unfinished in some areas and also there were a lot of pre-installed apps.
