Micromax Teases A116 Canvas 4 HD
Indian smartphone manufacturer Micromax has released a teaser of its upcoming handset called Canvas 4. The company has posted two teaser videos of the device on its official YouTube channel. The videos, with tagline "Can Life Be Endless," show a smartphone with a sleek body and 13MP camera.
Canvas 4 looks like company's next flagship phone, which would make it the successor to the popular Micromax A116 Canvas HD. Canvas 4 has made an appearance on two teaser videos posted by Micromax on its official YouTube channel. The promos were also spotted on TV during commercial breaks in the India vs. Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy match on Saturday.
While there are scant official details available other than the pre-booking date, speculation and rumours are rife about the specifications of the phone. One YouTube user believes there's a clear indication the phone would have an octa-core CPU and a 13-megapixel rear camera, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S4. "It might have an octacore processor.
Another interesting bit that is official, is the "Can life be endless?" line that Micromax is using to tease the Canvas 4. The line obviously seems like a reference to the battery life, and one wonders if one of the highlights of the Canvas 4 will be a big battery.
Micromax will likely need that big battery, give the Canvas 4 is said to sport a full-HD display. We've seen two full-HD budget smartphones launched already in the Indian market, in the form of Wickedleak Wammy Passion Z and the Lemon A4. While the Wammy Passion Z costs Rs. 14,990, the recently launched Lemon A4 carries a price tag of Rs. 17,999.
Given the price of these phones, it is possible for Micromax's next flagship to have a full-HD display and still be priced in the sub-Rs. 20,000 segment, company's preferred playground. With pre-bookings slated to begin June 28, we won't have to wait long to know the official specifications and price.
Micromax in January said that it will launch a total of 30 smartphones this year. Since then, it has rolled out devices like Canvas HD, Canvas 3D, Canvas Music, Bolt A35 and Canvas Viva.
A vast and diverse range at affordable price points is part of Micromax's ambitious plans to emerge as the largest phone seller in India, ahead of Nokia and market leader Samsung. In January, it claimed to have shipped 1.98 lakh phablets in Q4 2012, as compared to 1.89 lakh units sold by the South Korean manufacturer Samsung.
In smartphones, Micromax has scored quite well recently with its entry-level Canvas 2 A110 and mid-range Canvas HD A116 phablets respectively. The company is facing a severe shortage of Canvas HD and has not been able to get its supplies in order, leading to a waiting period of up to two weeks.
