The Indian mobile market is constantly getting flooded with innumerable new mobile phones, and to keep up with this fast paced market, various mobile manufacturing companies are also competing hard to churn out as many new smartphone models as possible. In keeping with this launch competition, Indian mobile maker Micromax has recently launched its latest smartphone model duo, the Micromax Canvas 6, and the Micromax Canvas 6 Pro. Usually, we have always seen that the Pro model of any model is the better loaded package with higher specifications and more attractive features offering overall superior usability than the regular counterparts. Naturally, the Pro models have been so far also more expensive than the regular models owing to their better package.
However, the newly launched Micromax Canvas 6 and the Canvas 6 Pro smartphone model siblings have come to change this notion. Not only the Micromax Canvas 6 is not a lesser model in any way than the Canvas 6 Pro, both the new smartphone models are also priced exactly the same. The Canvas 6 and the Canvas 6 Pro are also packaged in such as way that the buying decisions of these two models will depend on the buyers’ personal preference completely. Moreover, the new Micromax Canvas 6 is certainly not a lesser version of the Canvas 6 Pro, and on the contrary is packed rather better than the Canvas 6 Pro, which gets pretty confusing because of the Pro suffix of the latter.
Thus, when the new Micromax Canvas 6 and the Micromax Canvas 6 Pro actually hit the shelves of the mobile stores of India around in the coming week, it could be confusing for the buyers looking to buy one of these new smartphone models from the house of Micromax.
While by the sheer names of these new Indian smartphone sibling, one might think that they are very similar, it is also not so. The Micromax Canvas 6 and the Micromax Canvas 6 Pro are quite different in terms of built, specifications as well as features. Nevertheless, they are also similar in some aspects and pricing.
So, while choosing one among these two any potential buyer could easily get perplexed by their similar names and price tags until they know the differences well.
To remove all such confusions between the two new Micromax smartphone models, let us look into both the Micromax Canvas 6 and the Micromax Canvas 6 Pro in order to find out which among these two is actually a worthier product and a better buy:
Design & Build
The new Micromax Canvas 6 boasts of a nice and a metal body offering more premium looks and joins the bandwagon of the metal body smartphones model trend no matter what the price. The new Micromax Canvas 6 Pro is endowed with the more usual Polycarbonate body design. Owing to the built quality only, the Canvas 6 looks superior to the Canvas 6 Pro.
Fingerprint Sensor
In the current market, the important add-on feature Fingerprint sensor is also highly in vogue. The Fingerprint Scanner is indeed an important security feature to protect your personal data and thwart unauthorized access to your device. The new Canvas 6 does offer the Fingerprint reader at its back to lock and unlock the handset, but the Canvas 6 Pro gives a miss to the Fingerprint Sensor.
RAM & Memory
RAM and inbuilt memory space are also highly important aspects in any smartphone, as they decide the particular device’s performance and storage capacity. When it comes to RAM, the Canvas 6 Pro is a better loaded with 4 GB of RAM support to ensure faster and smoother performance, while the Canvas 6 comes packed with support of 3 GB of RAM. In terms of onboard memory, the Canvas 6 Pro offers 16 GB of internal memory while the Canvas 6 offers 32 GB of inbuilt storage.
Cameras
Both the Canvas 6 and the Canvas 6 Pro comes with the same primary rear snappers, with the exact same with matching camera specs. Both the handset models come packed with 13 MP of rear camera with PDAF, f/2.0 aperture as well as LED flash to handle all the photo shooting as well as video recording needs.
However, the devices are again not similar when it comes to the front facing secondary shooters. While the Canvas 6 comes with a larger 8 MP camera to take care of all the selfie and video chat requirements, the Canvas 6 Pro offers a lesser 5 MP selfie snapper.
Display, Battery & Other Features
The Canvas 6 and the Canvas 6 Pro are similar in many ways such as the same 5.5 inch large FHD display with exact same screen resolution.
Both the new smartphone models also draw their juice from the same 3,000 MAh battery pack which is enough to provide backup to these two similar sized handsets efficiently for around a daylong of work and play, although real world backup time cannot be decided as yet.
Then again, the Canvas 6 and Canvas 6 Pro both offer the Around feature which was earlier known as the Around Yu and will be now available in all Micromax products going forward.
Pricing
The newly launched Micromax Canvas 6 and the Micromax Canvas 6 Pro both have been both priced at Rs. 13,999, so they have a same pocket pinch.

This segment of the Indian mobile market have intense competition, but the new Canvas 6 and Canvas Pro are packed pretty well to draw buyers’ attention.
Also, after considering all the aspects of both the Canvas 6 and the Canvas 6 Pro, it is very apparent that the Micromax Canvas 6 Pro is a better buy in terms of specs, while the Canvas 6 is loaded with features compared to Canvas 6 Pro, while carrying the same price tag. The buyer has to choose whether to go with the specs with normal quality or the superior quality with the Canvas 6.
