The Micromax Canvas Juice A77 is a new arrival to the smartphone market for India and the Gionee Elife E7 will also be arriving soon. Today we’re going to look at the A77 Micromax Canvas Juice vs. Gionee Elife E7 to see how the specs compare.

Before we begin we’ll point out that we’ve already compared the Micromax Canvas Turbo to the upcoming Elife E7, and the Turbo is more viable competition to the E7 than the Canvas Juice.

We’ll take you through the key specs of both phones.
