Thankfully Micromax went with an 8MP rear camera for their Canvas Blaze MT500 mobile phone. The camera has an LED flash for taking low light and/or night photos.

Verdict

Micromax Canvas Blaze MT500 has a tough challenge as its rivals the Microsoft Lumia 535 and Lava Iris Fuel 50. Both the rivals have higher specs and lower prices than the Canvas Blaze MT500. As it is the handset is decent enough if the user wants a 5inch touchscreen phone with dual sim that supports CDMA and GSM standards. In fact the phone has the leg up over the competition because of its unique dual standard support so the phone has something to offer which its rivals do not.
