Micromax's recent rise to glory isn't a story of just blatantly releasing handsets left and right, but also speaks about how the company managed to understand the market and gave its fans what they really wanted.

While a number of major players like Samsung, Apple and Sony are all sitting at the top of the charts, Micromax is slowly but surely catching up to them with its own Android (and even Windows Phone) offerings.

Keeping up the tradition, the company recently outed the brand new Canvas Gold A300 smartphone to compete with other big names.

Going through the specs, Micromax Canvas Gold A300, available at a price tag of Rs. 23,999, comes with a 5.5-inch IPS display offering a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is powered by a 2 GHz Octa-Core MediaTek MT6592T processor coupled with 2GB of RAM.

It runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat) OS. The Canvas Gold A300 could also make an amazing imaging device as it sports a 16MP auto focus rear camera with LED Flash and also an impressive 5MP front-facing shooter.

Connectivity options include 3G HSPA+, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS and it is a Dual SIM handset. There is also a huge 32GB of internal memory of which 25GB is for mass storage and 1.5 GB for applications. It is powered by a 2300 mAh battery.

But does it have enough under the hood to compete against the other biggies in the market? We take a look at its top 10 rivals.
