MICROMAX CANVAS KNIGHT
Micromax Canvas Knight A350 made its debut back in January in Russia and few months later in India (March). Back then, it shipped with out-dated Android v4.2 Jelly Bean OS, and now the new units will come with Android's latest software version 4.4.2 KitKat. However, the company has not yet clarified when it plans to release the chocolate wafer flavoured Android OS to older Canvas Knight models, because it's very crucial that Micromax does not disappoint its loyal fans.
New Micromax Canvas Knight Octa-core phone units are now reportedly shipping with Android v4.4.2 KitKat OS in India.
The new Android v4.4.2 KitKat OS brings in slew of enhanced features such as smarter caller ID, more organised message grouping (now all SMS, MMS, Video & Audio messages under one roof -Hangouts), quick access to settings, colourful Emoji characters on keyboard, Voice search (OK, Google!), Quickoffice word document app, Cloud printing (only with select HP printing), Bluetooth MAP (Message Access Profile) and many more.

Design and Build
The Canvas Knight A350 is a handsome looking handset, a far cry from what we’ve seen from Micromax thus far. It looks a bit like a mash up of the iPhone 5 and the Xperia Z1, which is good since they’re both good looking handsets. You get the typical packaging from Micromax as well. The phone is a magnet for fingerprints, especially the back. Thankfully, the bundled cover should help keep it clean.
Features
The 5-inch Full HD display offers good colours and sharp visuals and is the perfect size to be used comfortably. We’re really glad Micromax didn’t get carried away and use a 5.5-inch display here. The software is pretty much stock 4.2.2 Jelly Bean with a sprinkle of Micromax apps and a few tweaks to the UI. The interface is very smooth without any hiccups and lags. The phone is powered by MediaTek's MT6592T OCTA-CORE CPU and there’s also 2GB of RAM onboard.
The phone also tends to heat up very quickly after a quick game of Ridiculous Fishing or snapping a few pictures. We also noticed the phone tends to get quite sluggish after playing a game. A couple of times, the game would just crash to the home screen. This happened again when streaming music over Bluetooth. The tracks would skip intermittently and distort quite a bit with an incoming notification. There doesn’t seem to be much optimisation done within the software to efficiently use the eight cores. The GPU onboard is also a mainstream one as its performance is only slightly better than the one used in a Snapdragon 400 chipset.
