Micromax Canvas 4 was launched in July this year for Rs 17,999 and is now available for around the same price due to steep demand.

Design and Display
The Canvas 4 has a 5 inch touchscreen while the Canvas Doodle 2 has a way big 5.7 inch display. However, screens’ of both the smartphones have the same 1280×720 pixels resolution. How much that affects the screen quality can only be ascertained once we have the Doodle 2 in our palms but prima facia the Canvas 4 seems to have a better screen while of course the Doodle 2 has a big screen – so its like quality vs quantity.
As of now, the exact nature of the Canvas Doodle 2’s design is not known but since it has a huge screen it is ought to be heavy and thicker than Canvas 4.

With a 5.7 inch screen, the battery life of Canvas Doodle 2 definitely is in the question. Interestingly, the Doodle 2 though has a big 2600 mAh battery, it said to provide only eight hours of talktime that too on 2G networks.
On the other hand, as per our review, Canvas 4 has decent battery life. Officially, it too provides 8 hours of talktime despite having a 2000 mAh battery.
