Micromax Superfone A100 Canvas vs Spice MI-500 Stellar Horizon are two really competitive pocket friendly phablets of recent times. People prefer wide display smartphones over smaller display ones. Basically, smartphones are smaller version of computers. You can do everything what you can do in your PC. Manufacturers have added enough hardware in modern smartphones so that users can run HD games or watch full HD movies in smartphones. Moreover, portability is a major advantage of smartphones. It can be well fit in your pocket. No need to carry separate baggage. But a phablet is quite difficult to put inside a pocket. Isn’t it? Well, separate good looking cases can be used to protect phones from scratches and at the same time makes it easier to carry. Now coming back to the comparison, Superfone A100 Canvas is currently powered by single core processor. A dual SIM version will be marketed soon whereas Spice released the dual SIM version of Stellar Horizon right from the on set. Let’s take a look at the comparison table-

Micromax Superfone A100 or Spice MI-500
You can see both these phones are very close to each other. Right now in comparison Spice Stellar Horizon gets a straight edge over A100 because of it’s dual core 1 GHz processor over 1 GHz single core processor. In display, camera, network & connectivity segment there is not much to separate the duos. Spice MI-500 is fueled by bigger battery and ensures more backup. Price of Stellar Horizon is higher than Superfone Canvas. I am not sure whether Micromax will keep the price of the phablet same once the dual core version will be launched. Currently, Canvas is better as it comes in cheaper price. But Spice Stellar Horizon is the pick in all respect. I will update this post once the dual core version is launched.
