The smart phone is the company’s hybrid of high end specs with low end price. The blend has got a very warm welcome in India from the very beginning. Micromax claims the Rs 13,990 handset is currently being booked at a pace of 25 units per minute.
Let’s recall the main specs of Micromax Canvas A116 HD:
• 1.2 GHZ quad-core MediaTek processor
• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Operating System
• Dual Sim Phone
• 5 inches IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen
• 1 GB RAM, 4 GB internal memory and expandable up to 32 GB
• 8 MP primary camera
• 0.3 MP secondary camera
• Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G, GPRS, EDGE, GPS and USB
The phone has a price tag of Rs.13,990/-.The company said in its press release, “The data received from our online partner, Snapdeal.com shows that the first lot of the Canvas HD was sold out within 15 minutes of announcing the sale at midnight of February 14. The second lot of 300 units of the phone was again sold out within 15 minutes of the sale at 9 am and the third lot of 1200 phones was sold in 45 minutes with the beginning of the sale at noon on the first day itself. Now we have over 9000 units booked in less than 24 hours and counting.”
The initial boost in the selling will sustain, as per the reports of the company. If it does, the smartphone market of India will be witnessing a record breaking selling. Anyways, it’s a moment of pride for every Indian that our mobile phones are fighting shoulder to shoulder with multinational brands like Samsung.
