Display and Processor
Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 comes with a large size display of 5.7 Inch diagonal length. The display is significantly larger than 5 inch Micromax Canvas Turbo and will offer you 1280 x 720 pixels resolution which leads to pixel density of 258 ppi which is enough to avoid pixilation but won’t give you crisp and sharp display on the large size screen. The Micromax Canvas Turbo offers more pixels on a smaller 5 inch display. The full HD 1080P resolution shoots up pixel density to 441 ppi which lies around the top of the ppi number game. This display also supports 16.7 M colors (true color) instead of 16 M colors in Micromax Canvas Doodle 2. Thus Micromax Canvas turbo is better in the display department. If you like extra large displays and like to read e-books on your smartphone, then perhaps Doodle 2 will suit you better. Both of these phones come with Mediatek MT6589 series system on chips. The doodle two is powered by 1.2 GHz Quad core MT6589 chipset with PowerVR SGX 544 MP GPU clocked at 286 MHz and 1 GB RAM. Whereas the MT6589T chipset in Canvas Turbo, ticks at 1.5 GHz and comes with the same GPU clocked at higher frequency of 357 MHz. Yes this processor backed by 2 GB of RAM is expected to be more efficient than doodle 2’s chipset with respect to UI transitions and Multitasking.
Camera and Memory
The camera unit in both of these smartphones is same and is also similar to other phones in canvas series. These smartphones sport a 12 MP/ 13 MP Auto focus camera at the back and a 5 MP fixed focus camera at the front for video calling and this is the maximum what MT6589 series can support. Micromax has provided added features in Canvas Turbo’s software and has added 360 degree panorama mode and HTC Zoe like Object eraser tool, which lets you remove object from the back ground. It also comes with a cinemagraph feature which lets you create a .gif file and animate still objects. The memory features of both of these phones are similar. Both of these smartphone come with non extendable 16 GB On board storage out of which 13 GB will be available to the users. For most general purpose users the storage will be sufficient.

Micromax Canvas Turbo’s 2000 mAh battery will provide you with 7 hours of talk time and 105 hours of standby time which will restrict you from enjoying the Full HD display to its best.
