Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - device position sensor in space. As a main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, the G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled by various functions of the device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures the angles of rotation relative to a fixed coordinate system. Able to measure rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. The gyroscope together with the accelerometer allows you to determine the position of the device in space with high accuracy. In devices that use only accelerometers, measurement accuracy is lower, especially when moving quickly. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor, thanks to which the optimal values of brightness and contrast are set for a given level of illumination. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to the face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing accidental pressing. The presence of the sensor allows you to increase the operating time of the device from the battery.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for orientation in the area.
Atmospheric pressure sensor- sensor for accurate measurement of atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine the height above sea level and speed up the location.
touch ID- Fingerprint identification sensor.

Satellite navigation:
GPS(Global Positioning System - global positioning system) - a satellite navigation system that measures distance, time, speed and determines the location of objects anywhere on the Earth. The system was developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring the distances to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated from the signal propagation delay time from sending it by the satellite to receiving it by the GPS receiver antenna.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation and time support for ground, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital movement do not have resonance (synchronism) with the Earth's rotation, which provides them with greater stability.
Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is a medium-sized device, oriented, perhaps, specifically to the Asian market, where such devices are valued for their functionality at an affordable price.
Design and ergonomics
The device is made in a pleasant color scheme: a combination of deep black and steel colors make the smartphone outwardly presentable, although devoid of individuality. With the display disabled, the device's screen is like a black mirror, which does its job quite well. In general, the smartphone looks monolithic and without unnecessary details.
There is no physical button on the front panel, the volume rocker and the power button are located on the right side - just under the thumb of the right hand. A small round speaker and front camera sit above the display. On the bottom side there is a microphone and a micro-USB connector, a mini-jack fits on the top.
The camera with a flash placed on the upper part of the rear panel looks quite stylish: the camera eye is framed by a small protrusion at the top, and a semicircle at the bottom. The main speaker in the form of a strip is at the bottom of the device wall.
The smartphone lies pleasantly in the hand, but the plastic cover gives it a mediocre device.
The cover of the device is removable. Hidden underneath is a memory card slot and two SIM card slots.
Screen
Micromax Canvas Juice 2 received a 5-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels, supports multi-touch, pixel density - 294 ppi.
The colors are clear, saturated, which is typical for Micromax devices. However, the brightness of the screen of the device greatly hurts the eyes. Even with the adaptive adjustment turned on, the smartphone is too bright. Therefore, for comfortable use, I had to turn off the function and set the brightness slider to almost the very minimum.
The screen is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, which is pleasant to the touch, but slightly slippery. When typing and scrolling pages, the smartphone's screen does not always respond to touch, the device requires precision with a finger and more effort.
Sound
The sound of a smartphone requires a separate word, since the developers themselves note its volume. On the box, a figure of 96 dB is declared - in terms of volume, it is close to a subway car passing in the immediate vicinity.
The device is really loud. This is not to say that it has excellent sound quality, but nevertheless it is quite digestible. On some particularly “difficult” songs at full volume, the smartphone inevitably wheezes and trembles in the hands.
The chip with a very loud speaker is not entirely clear and looks more like an anachronism. Perhaps this feature is a weighty argument in the company's home market, but in the Western market, smartphones have long competed in sound quality, not volume.
From the headphones that come with the device, you should also not expect outstanding sound quality: the accessory corresponds to its price category.
Camera
The main camera of the smartphone is equipped with 8 megapixels, the front camera is only 2 megapixels. The quality of shooting, of course, leaves much to be desired, but the device has a couple of noteworthy features.
On the main camera, you can shoot text well, the claims for sharpness and clarity of image transmission are minimal. But the color rendition of the pictures is lame. With the front camera, the same story, in addition, the square pixels of the image are clearly visible in the picture.
However, the Micromax Q392 has interesting features, such as a feature called "Multi-Angle View". It is similar to panoramic shooting, but allows you to move the slider around the image. It turns out something in the spirit of 3D shooting. The function is especially interesting in circular selfies or, conversely, in shooting the surrounding panorama. Unfortunately, you can view the resulting image only on the smartphone itself and it will not be possible to transfer it.
There is also the “Beautiful Face” function, which is standard for “Asian” devices, which turns the skin in the photo into chalk. There is a Motion Tracking option that allows you to do something similar to a gif-animation with the ability to select specific frames that will be included in the final shooting result.
Hardware specifications and user experience
Canvas Juice 2 shows good results in terms of speed and copes with the usual tasks - for example, checking email, browsing social networks, playing undemanding toys. Serious freezes were not observed.
Characteristics of the "iron":
Chipset: Mediatek MT6580
-Processor: Quad-core Cortex-A7 @ 1.3GHz
-Memory: operational - 2 GB, internal - 8 GB, slot for micro-SD (up to 32 GB)
-OS: Android 5.1
-micro USB v2.0
-4000 mAh battery
In the AnTuTu benchmark, the device scored a little less than 23 thousand points. The result is frankly weak, especially unimpressive characteristics of the device turned out to be 3D indicators. Approximately similar results are gained, for example, by Xiaomi Mi 2, Micromax Canvas Sliver 5, Samsung Galaxy A3.
At the same time, there are several points that are alarming and depressing. For example, a smartphone does not support 4G networks, but this is not so bad, because even in 3G networks the device performs very poorly. Simply put, the device has obvious problems with data transfer speed. As noted by the owners of other Micromax smartphones, this problem is typical for the entire line of devices.
Also Canvas Juice 2 is clearly out of memory. With the declared 8 GB of free disk space, the user gets only a little more than 4 GB. Of course, micro-SD will correct the shortcoming in the case of photos, videos and other content, but applications cannot be installed directly on it.
The smartphone vibrates very strongly, and there is no intensity adjustment slider in the settings. Many devices sin with this, especially noticeable after using Samsung smartphones, where there is such an adjustment.
However, the 4000 mAh battery really sets the device apart. For a day of moderately active use with data transfer turned on, the smartphone lost only 30% of the charge. Thus, on a single charge, the device will be able to work for 2-3 days.
Summary
The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is a good device overall, but not without flaws.
The advantages of the device include light weight, laconic, although not original design, 2 GB of RAM, interesting camera functions, a capacious battery and, of course, a low price (for Russian retailers, it varies from 8 thousand to 9 thousand rubles). .
Among the minuses are the lack of LTE and poor data transfer quality, too powerful vibration, problems with screen brightness, a weak camera and mediocre sound quality.
Micromax Canvas Juice 2 Q392, recently released to the domestic market, has become a representative of the line of "long-livers" of this manufacturer. It was equipped with a 4,000 mAh battery. But after all, only a large battery is not enough for a sophisticated user, so Micromax implemented several interesting features here. can a smartphone offer users anything beyond that? Let's figure it out.
Appearance
The front panel of the smartphone is black and covered with Gorilla Glass 3, so don't be afraid of scratches. Along the entire perimeter there is a border, almost invisible to the eye, but slightly sticking out and quite recognizable to the touch. At the top is a speaker and a front camera eye.
The back cover of Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is gray. From a distance, it seems metallic, but plastic is immediately recognizable to the touch. The edges are smoothed, so that as a result smartphone shape resembles Meizu devices, for example, MX5. But the elements at the top and bottom evoke thoughts of Huawei and iPhone gadgets. You might think that these are overlays, but in fact they are part of the lid. As a result, to get to the slots for the SIM card and microSD, you have to remove the entire panel. At the bottom of the lid there is a slot for the speaker, and at the top there is a camera eye and a flash.
The volume rocker and the power button are located on the right side, so that when you use them, your thumb rests on them. A good solution in terms of ergonomics.
If you remove the Micromax logo, then the gadget will be indistinguishable from many other smartphones. However, Micromax Canvas Juice 2 looks nice and, despite all the hackneyedness of the phrase, it fits perfectly in the hand, not trying to sneak out. It is very far from the frills of flagships, but do not forget that this is a state employee, and the use of more expensive materials would automatically raise its price.
Screen
Budget smartphone budget display. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 Q392 received a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The image quality is good: the display does not have enough stars from the sky, but there is nothing to complain about either. Viewing angles and color reproduction at the level, thanks for this IPS matrix. Those who wish can adjust the image to their liking using MiraVision technology. There are a couple of preset options in the settings: default and increased brightness. And the user can adjust the contrast, saturation, brightness, sharpness and color temperature.
The frames around the screen of the smartphone are quite thick, so that as a result the dimensions of the smartphone are 141x70 mm. Sometimes you have to intercept the device - fingers simply do not reach some parts of the display.
Hardware platform and performance
For performance in Micromax Canvas Juice 2, a 4-core MediaTek MT6580 processor is responsible for the company, which is given 2 GB of RAM - reference set for the upper budget segment. It was used in a bunch of smartphones, including Alcatel, Doogee and Asus ZenFone Go. That's just the chip released last year - one of the most budgetary from MediaTek and, as a result, the smartphone, unfortunately, cannot boast of high performance.
With all everyday tasks, the gadget copes well, but the slowness is felt. Undemanding and not the most recent games work well: shooting Angry Birds will be no problem. With more powerful applications, problems are already arising - even Rayman Jungle Run, no, no, yes, it starts to slow down. It's better to just forget about modern hits like N.O.V.A.
Test results in benchmarks fully confirm subjective feelings. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 shows a naturally low result, which is easy to evaluate from the attached screenshots.
The smartphone is running stock Android 5.1. The manufacturer decided not to use any of his own shells, limiting himself to several pre-installed applications. Among them are the already mentioned MiraVision, "Camera", as well as a number of others, less significant.
cameras
The smartphone has a pair of sensors: 2 and 8 megapixels. The quality of the pictures is predictably average, but there are also positive aspects. The main camera shows an average result in daylight, but if you slightly worsen the shooting conditions, we get a solid “soap” instead of a clear picture. In addition, there are some problems with color reproduction here.
Not the highest quality, the manufacturer decided to compensate for the wealth of modes and settings.
- « live photo” resembles a similar mode in the new generation of iPhone, HTC Zoe and similar technologies. In fact, instead of a regular snapshot, a microvideo clip lasting a couple of seconds is made.
- How exactly does the mode work? motion tracking' is not entirely clear. Most likely, we are talking about blur compensation when shooting moving objects, but there was not much difference with a regular photo;
- « polygonal view” is an analogue of a panorama, but with its own nuances. The user will need to point the camera at the object, and then circle it with the camera in an arc. As a result, when viewing a picture, a scroll bar appears, with which you can look at the object from different angles;
- « Beautiful face"- almost a standard feature of Chinese devices that improves selfies. Through simple adjustments, users can smooth out the tone of the face, but if you go a little too far, and instead of the natural skin color, we get a chalk mask.
Users can set exposure, white balance, ISO and other parameters. For video, a slow motion mode is available.
Communication and sound
Micromax Canvas Juice 2 received a standard set of wireless modules, but without LTE. On the one hand, this is a clear drawback, but with 3G connected instead of 4G, the gadget is able to work noticeably longer, and the Internet speed is enough to watch videos from the Web. Downloading large and voluminous games is simply pointless - the device's performance is not enough for them. But there are two slots for SIM cards, and they work at the same time.
The interlocutor during the dialogue is always heard well, there are no problems on the other side either. The manufacturer calls an ultra-loud 96 dB speaker one of the main features of the smartphone. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is really loud. That's just hand in hand with the quality of this feature, unfortunately, does not go. But you can hear the call under almost any conditions.
autonomy
The strongest side of the smartphone. The 4,000 mAh battery holds a charge perfectly, which, with everyday use, is enough for more than 2 days with GPS and Bluetooth turned on. During active use (for example, a game), the battery drains noticeably, which can be seen in the screenshots. However, it is worth noting that it is unlikely that the smartphone will be used so often for this - after all, it is focused somewhat differently.
Competitors
You can buy Micromax Canvas Juice 2 for 9,990 rubles. What can competitors offer for the same amount? If you put autonomy at the forefront - not much.
Of the more or less current models, there is a Dexp Ixion EL350 Volt with a 4,000 mAh battery. You can find it for 6,650 rubles, but given the Spreadtrum processor and 1 GB of RAM, it is not certain that it can even cope with everyday tasks just as well.
ZTE Blade X3 costs 8,990 rubles and has a similar problem - not such a powerful processor and only 1 GB of RAM. But the front camera is 5 megapixels.
The more compact Highscreen Power Four sells for the same 9,990. It has a 4.5-inch screen, a less powerful MediaTek MT6735M processor with a frequency of 1 GHz, only 1 GB of memory and a camera with a lower resolution. And the battery capacity in the case of Highscreen does not always indicate good autonomy.
Summary
In general, Micromax Canvas Juice 2 leaves the impression of a kind of "workhorse". It cannot boast of any outstanding performance, spectacular design, or high-quality cameras, but at the same time it is distinguished by “endurance” that is rare for its segment. He will become a reliable companion. for those who are not interested in games or ultra-fast Internet, for those who primarily need a smartphone for communication, periodically checking mail and surfing the Internet. With this, the smartphone is doing well.
And if you look at the competitors, then everything turns out to be even more interesting. Yes, in your segment you can find devices with higher performance, but in their case, autonomy is to the detriment. You can find smartphones cheaper and with an equally capacious battery, but their performance leaves much to be desired. Micromax Canvas Juice 2 has become the golden mean among them and clearly deserves the attention of buyers.

Packaging and equipment
The device comes in a stylish black and white box. The lid shows the strengths of the smartphone - the sound is three times louder than usual and increased battery capacity (in the word "Juice" the letter I is depicted in the form of a battery with a full charge).
Inside the box are a screen protector, a headset in the form of vacuum headphones, a charger, and a microUSB ⇔ USB cable.
Design and ergonomics
The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 has nothing superfluous in its design: it is a classic five-inch smartphone with rounded back edges and a removable cover that hides slots for two SIM cards and a microSD memory card.
The front panel is completely covered with glass, it houses a display, a front camera, a round speaker, and a light indicator. System control buttons (“Back”, “Menu”, “Home”) are built into the interface and located at the bottom of the screen.
The hardware power button and volume rocker received the most convenient, familiar to most users location - on the right edge, in its upper part. The buttons are firm enough for comfortable use and have a clear stroke.
The device lies perfectly in the hand, and the texture of the back panel does not allow it to slip out.
The smartphone is assembled soundly. Despite the fact that the parts are made of plastic (and, unlike metal, it is very difficult to customize), there are no backlashes or gaps.
Device in operation
The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is powered by a MediaTek MT6580 quad-core processor clocked at up to 1.3GHz. The graphics accelerator Mali-400 MP is responsible for the graphics. The amount of internal storage was 8 GB, RAM - 2 GB. This filling provides the smartphone with good performance when performing everyday tasks: as a rule, the system responds to user actions quickly. There are occasional stutters, but they are more related to optimizing specific applications than insufficiently fast hardware.
The result of Micromax Canvas Juice 2 in the AnTuTu benchmark.
The speaker sound of the Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is very loud and, importantly, without noticeable distortion at full volume. There are lower frequencies (bass). So games, movies, music - all kinds of multimedia entertainment are perfectly combined with this device.
In addition, the novelty has a clear screen with HD resolution and no pixelation. It was created using IPS technology, which provides high brightness, contrast and good viewing angles with relatively low power consumption. The touchpad recognizes five simultaneous touches.
Interface
The device runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. There is no additional launcher, so the user has access to a “clean”, not overloaded, Android. There are no extra pre-installed applications on the smartphone out of the box either, so after the purchase you won’t have to waste time removing unnecessary software. You can immediately start installing the set of programs that will be useful to you personally.
In the settings there is a set of MiraVision tools that allows you to adjust the clarity, saturation, contrast and color temperature of the image on the screen.
Camera
The 8-megapixel camera module mounted on the Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is equipped with a flash and auto focus. It delivers excellent photography results in all conditions, including focusing on close subjects with ease. When shooting at night, the shots are also sharp and not blurry, with natural color reproduction.
The camera is equipped with an HDR mode that expands the dynamic range of shots and enhances the detail in the lightest and darkest areas. This feature works best in backlit situations, compensating for the high contrast in such shots.
HDR mode is off: the object in the foreground is not detailed enough, there are “gaps” in the shadows.
HDR mode on: the foreground is brighter and sharper.
Offline work
The battery of Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is simply huge - 4000 mAh. Its charge can be stretched for five days if you turn off GPS and Wi-Fi and limit the use of the screen. By “chasing” it to the fullest (as smartphone owners usually do), we almost completely discharged the gadget in two days. This is an excellent result, which means that the autonomy of the Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is really above average.
Results
The Micromax Canvas Juice 2 is a well-balanced device that is worth the money. The only thing it lacks is LTE support. Otherwise, the manufacturer managed to find a good balance between price and quality, equipping the gadget with a clear screen, 2 GB of RAM, excellent speakers and, most importantly, an unusually capacious battery.
