Design and Quality
Though the size of the screen is large enough to see videos and play games but the quality of the screen is not considered as the best. The screen has some issues like there is no scratch resistant protection for the screen. Since the screen is of plastic which is not good material for the screens especially and for the touch as well. Under direct sunlight the contents on the screen cannot be seen clearly which is another issue with the screen. It is made up of plastic and gives the plastic feel and it may not look great at first sight. Its design is like candy bar having rounded edges. The grip of the phone is perfect and even having large screen, it can be easily handled with one hand. The phone is all plastic including the back cover and the buttons but build quality is no doubt very good.
Camera and Multimedia
Micromax Canvas Nitro A310 has two cameras, a 13MP rear camera with an LED flash and a 5MP front camera. The performance of the camera is quite mixed. The rear camera takes quite a good quality pictures giving quite a good amount of details. The camera is autofocus giving crunchy colors for the pictures. Though the picture quality is good but it is not up to the standard. In uneven light, the camera performance gets weird. This may be due to some issue with the camera software. The front camera has a wonderful performance and works perfectly fine for video chats and video conferencing. The video recording is said to have full HD but this in fact is not the case. It records videos in full HD only and 3GP format and its quality is too bad.
Battery and Memory
Battery life is quite handsome for the Micromax Canvas Nitro but if the 3G is switched off then it gives a long lasting battery capacity. On Wi-Fi connectivity, it gives 15hrs of battery life. It has 2GB RAM and 8GB internal storage which is expendable up to 32GB with microSD card. This much memory is quite enough to hold many of the required apps including games.

The structure and build of the phone is also very pleasing making it quite attractive for smartphone lovers. It has few discrepancies but overall it is does give value to money and users may not feel embarrassed purchasing it if the camera is used for bright light only.
