LOOK AND FEEL:-
Micromax Unite 2 looks pretty good. Build quality is improved as compared to the previous phones from Micromax. The Volume Rocker is on right side of the phone under it there is a power button. There is no buttons on the left side of the phone. On the Back it has a 5 MP auto focus camera with a single LED flash. Phone is handy and quite fits in your palms.
DISPLAY:-
Micromax Unite 2 has a 4.7-inch WVGA (480*800 pixels) resolution IPS Display. Which is not a great display for such a big screen, thanks to IPS pannel which makes screen bright and crisp. Viewing angles are also so good not the best. Overall Display quality is average. We can't expect more in this tight budget.
SOFTWARE:-
Micromax Unite 2 runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 with some improved stock UI. And also like Moto E, Micromax also promises to give a major Android Update in near future. Device supports FOTA. So one can easily upgrade software through internet without going to service centers.
CAMERA:-
Micromax Unite 2 has a 5 MP auto focus camera with a single LED flash and a 2 MP fixed focus front facing camera. Camera quality of Micromax Unite 2 is above average and better that Motorola Moto E. The images in low light conditions are not so good. LED flash is quite bright. Pictures taken from Micromax Unite 2 are Good. Camera is also capable of recording 720p HD videos.
STORAGE AND PERFORMANCE:-
Micromax Unite 2 comes with 1 GB of RAM and 4 GB of Internal Memory. User will get 1.67 GB for User data (like: pictures, songs, videos etc) and 900 MB for Apps installation, which is low. But We can move the apps to external SD card as well. Out of 1 GB of RAM, we get 965 MB usable RAM, in which 500+MB RAM is free, which is good.
Also it has 1.3 GHz MediaTek MT6582M Quad-core processor, which is great and makes phone buttery smooth. Performance of the phone is quite good. Multi-tasking is also great, thanks to quad-core processor and 1 GB of RAM. You can easily play HD videos through it. also you can able to play Full-HD videos without any lag using any third party apps.
The phone support dual Sim, one slot is Full sized Sim slot and another one is Micro Sim. Speaker is present on back side of the phone and is quite loud.
BATTERY:-
Micromax Unite 2 Comes with 2000 mAh of battery, which company claimed to have talktime of 8 hours. but in our use we find battery average. It lasts for 5-6 hours. For average use it can run whole day with a single charge.
VERDICT:-
Micromax Unite 2 is a good smartphone present in the market. It has some cons and also pros. It is good choice if you are unable to buy Moto E.
