Micromax A110 Canvas 2 vs. Huawei Ascend G510: Can Chinese Smartphone Outclass Indian Device?

Chinese technology firm Huawei, which is steadily making strides in the global smart device business, launched an affordable big-screen Ascend G510 smartphone into the lucrative Indian market just a few days ago.

Despite the device's low-cost price tag and pretty descent features, it will still be a daunting task for the Chinese smartphone to challenge India's current sensation Micromax A116 Canvas HD. But, it will be interesting to see if Ascend G510 will be able to match Micromax's second most popular big-screen smartphone A110 Canvas.

Here is a brief comparison of Micromax A110 Canvas 2 and Huawei Ascend G510:

Micromax A110 Canvas 2 sports a 5.0-inch TFT LCD IPS display with 480x854p resolution and pixel count of close to 196 pixels per inch. On the other hand, Ascend G510 sports a 4.5-inch TFT LCD WVGA display with a similar 480x854p resolution having higher pixel density of 218 ppi thanks to its smaller screen size.
