So finally the two most anticipated mid-range devices are here- The Micromax Canvas HD and the Samsung Galaxy Grand. Since these devices were announced, a lot of people had been waiting for our comparison between both these smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy Grand has been on sale since a while now, but the Micromax Canvas HD was just put on sale a few days back and has been selling in large numbers. 
Though both these devices differ on a lot of aspects, firstly, there is a price difference of Rs.7,500 between them. The Samsung Galaxy Grand retails for about Rs.21,500 in the Indian market whereas the Micromax Canvas HD is available (or at least, is priced at) at Rs.13,999. Secondly, the Micromax Canvas HD is powered by a 1.2GHz MediaTek MT6589 quad-core CPU whereas the Galaxy Grand only features a 1.2GHz Broadcom BCM28155 dual-core CPU under the hood. Another important difference is the screen resolution on both these devices, as the Canvas HD features a 5-inch HD (720p) display whereas the Galaxy Grand has a 5-inch WVGA display, which seemed quite weak on-paper, but honestly after trying out the device, it looks quite impressive and doesn’t feel pixillated at all. Also, in our opinion the colors were more vivid on the Galaxy Grand’s display as opposed to the Micromax Canvas HD.
The on-paper specifications clearly indicate that the Micromax Canvas HD is a better option in most of the aspects. But don’t count the Galaxy Grand out yet, as the Samsung Galaxy Grand has a few things going in it’s favor as well. First of all, the brand itself which is more established even in the Indian market as opposed to Micromax. Hands down, the after sales from Samsung cannot be compared to what Micromax has to offer at present.The Samsung Galaxy Grand boasts of better, 8GB internal storage as opposed to just 4GB on the Micromax Canvas HD.
Also, the Galaxy Grand has performed quite well in all our tests and the gaming abilities of the Galaxy Grand are more than impressive for a smartphone at this price. The camera performance on the device is quite good, as on most other Samsung devices sporting an 8 megapixel camera. We would still hold our judgement about the Micromax Canvas HD till we’re out with our gaming and camera test on the device.
In our Benchmark comparison tests, the Micromax Canvas HD blew away the Samsung Galaxy Grand as it scored 13133 points while the Galaxy Grand managed to score just 6870, but the real world performance of both these devices doesn’t differ by much and the performance of the Galaxy Grand is quite fast and only seems a tad-bit slower than the Canvas HD. The Galaxy Grand beats the Micromax Canvas HD in the Nenamark2 benchmark test but that is due to the fact that the Galaxy Grand features a lower resolution (480 x 800 pixel) display as opposed to the Canvas HD, which features a 720p display. It is due to the same reason, that the Galaxy Grand is neck-to-neck with the Canvas HD in Quadrant Standard as well, where it scores 3766 points and the Canvas HD manages to score 3803 points.
Both the smartphones run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean but we’ll give Samsung the edge here, because  of it’s TouchWiz UI which brings along features like pop up play, direct call, multi window and most importantly an inbuilt task manager. You’re sure to miss this goodness in the Canvas HD.
Leaving the price aside for a moment, it can be quite difficult to choose which one is the better smartphone as the real world performance on both the device feels quite similar. But, with a price difference of about Rs.7,500, one will most probably drift towards the Micromax Canvas HD due to the fact that it is priced lower and offers better on-paper specifications. That being said, you would surely miss the refinement that the Samsung Galaxy Grand brings to the table. We know that it’s quite difficult for you to decide which is the better smartphone, but one thing which we can tell you for sure is that that you can’t go wrong with either of the device.
