Superfone Canvas or Superfone Pixel?
You can see A100 has larger display, more suitable for watching movies or playing games while A90 delivers razor sharp display quality. Both are running on same Android version and fueled by same 1 GHz single core processor. Because of it’s larger display A100 uses powerful 2000 mAh battery whereas A90 comes with regular smartphone display size and goes with 1600 mAh battery. Price of A90 is higher than A100 which makes some difference in buyer’s mind. It’s quite difficult to keep A100 in pocket as it is larger and heavier. You can try some cases out in the market. Summing everything together I can say, go for Micromax Superfone A100 Canvas. It’s a phablet and one of the very few cheap ones available in market.
