The micromax canvas Xpress 2 is naturally larger due to the 5? display as opposed to the 4.5? display of the original. However, the footprint of the device is still quite small compared to most other devices in the market these days. The handset feels really good for the price point at which Micromax is selling it. The build quality is solid and the aesthetics are pleasing. The colour choices and combinations add to the premium feel as well.
Above the display, you have the LED notification light, ambient light as well as proximity sensors, the earpiece and the front facing 2 Megapixel camera. The earpiece looks like it has been lifted straight out of a Nexus 5 and while that isn’t good news for Google, it’s definitely a nice design for consumers. The phone uses on-screen navigation keys so there’s nothing under the display.
