New canvas phones every 2 months

[theserpent]

Currently the Micromax is selling around 5,500 Canvas 2 handsets daily & have started testing Canvas 3.

Some companies never fail to surprise you. Micromax, an Indian handset player, is one such company. At a time when a handset manufactures usually don't bring sequel of their popular handsets immediately, Micromax is planning to bring a new handset under its popular Canvas series every two month.
Micromax's co-founder and business director, Vikas Jain said to The Mobile Indian, "Micromax Canvas II has been a hot selling smartphone for us and we plan to launch a Canvas smartphone every two months from now onwards."

He added, "We are currently selling around 5,500 Micromax Canvas 2 handsets daily and have started testing Micromax Canvas 3. I will not be in a position to share the exact time frame by when Canvas 3 will be launched. But do expect something around March."
Micromax Superfone Canvas A110 (Canvas 2) is the successor of Canvas A100, and is available for Rs 9,999. It has a 5 inch screen with 800x480 pixels resolution as its predecessor but comes with an 'IPS panel' that offers better viewing angle.
Micromax Superfone Canvas A110 boasts an 8 megapixel rear camera that too with dual flash. Also Canvas A110 has a dual core 1 GHz processor against a single core unit in the Canvas A100. We have already done a review of the device.
Apart, from that we have compared it with other devices like Samsung Galaxy Ace, Karbonn A30 and Karbonn A21 which are available in the same price bracket.

Micromax to launch new Canvas smartphones every two month

Mmx is doing really great these days, they should launch out of india too then we can have Developer support

The display on A116 is not the only improvement over A110, but Micromax has also packed a 1.2GHz MediaTek quad-core processor in the smartphone. The Canvas HD also comes with 8MP rear camera, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 4GB of internal storage, 1GB RAM, front camera, 2100 mAh battery and the usual connectivity options

Wow 1 gb ram,quad core proccy under 15k worth it?pricing not confirmed

I would really love to get this

Hands on

Seems like micromax is getting deep into the market.

 

[theserpent]

Exactly and in another two months another Canvas will be out
Only problems
Cheap quality
No Developer Support
MMX phones have high radiation

how the mediatek SOC?

 

[harshilsharma63]

Seeing the progress the've made (product quality wise), I believe they will soon be a competitive brand.

 

[saswat23]

Guess the price

 

[Pat]

I read it's priced at 14,999.

 

[Nerevarine]

I expect it to be 13.5K..

Anyway, MMX Y U NO MAKE PHONE WITH AMLOGIC instead.. atleast they provide the kernel source unlike mediatek, while remaining in the budget price bracket

 

[marvelousprashant]

Regarding Mediatek SoC in A116, it is the new quad core cortex-A7. Qualcomm had also announced A7 based quad core Snapdragon S4 "Play" processors but there are no real devices using that SoC. Roughly the performance will be between dual core A9 and quad core A9s. A116 uses PowerVR SGX544. The same GPU is used in Galaxy Premier (which also has 720p display), so you can check its gaming performance to have a rough idea about the GPU in A116

 

[rajnusker]

I would rather buy a 3GS for 10k.

 

[gameranand]

For anything above 10K I would not even consider MMX as a brand at all.

^^ Specs looks too good, but the quality is not good. High radiation and poor dev support. Friend who owns Canvas 2 for quite some time, and complains almost all day regarding the pathetic battery drain issue and a lot other things!

 

[pratyush997]

Now confused b/w Pantech Burst and this one
leaning toward Pantech cuz of dev support

This is one reason I am afraid to take this cellphomne + the huge screen.Im better of with a 4.2" screen.
Wish some cellphone from sony/sammy or any other better brand comes out.
Huawei G600 is also good its for preorder now

Micromax is a Indian company with zero after sales support So, when mmx gets problem you have no other option apart from throwing it in a dust bin.

 

[d6bmg]

They should improve their after sales support sfirst.
They have typical Indian mentality. Pay, but the phone, and then yourself.

Bharat is a damn BOSS lol.. decided to install quadrant on a phone that hasnt even been released and is on premier.. lol how did he manage to do that ?.. GJ man

Benchmarks arent THAT impressive for a quad core.. but its great to compare it to normal dual cores from Foreign companies like Galaxy Nexus etc..
They could have been a lot better if it was running something like Cyanogenmod or whateva.. thats where Micromax fails

LOL
Do You think CM and all other ROMS just pop-up as the device launch?

 

[Nerevarine]

What i mean is dont expect CM on it .. They have no kernel source, so no development.. NO Indian Phone has working CM till now except maybe Funbook (whose chinese oem has released KS anyway)

Dude are you insane. I am using Pantech Burst for last 2 weeks and it is awesome man. Runs smooth, UI is very good with no crapware. it is best buy under 9k, seriously.
