Micromax has seen widespread success with its Canvas range of phones, which till now primarily ran Android. Micromax offers top-specs at a cheap price, a powerful combination that has resulted in smartphones flying off the shelves for Micromax.

Stiff Competition

But Micromax in recent times has faced stiff competition both from local brands like Karbonn and also international brands like Motorola, which has seen success in India with its cheap Moto range of phones.

Going Down a Different Road

Micromax is trying another OS now, as it is going to launch two new Canvas devices running Windows Phone 8.1. This is according to a report by the Times of India.

One device will be places in the Rs.6000-7000 segment while the other will be placed in the Rs. 10,000- Rs. 11,000 segment.

Eye-Popping Specs

One of the Canvas Windows Devices will feature top-of-the-line specs, with a 5 inch Full-HD- AMOLED screen, a Snapdragon 800 Processor, 2 gigs of RAM and 16GB of Storage with expandable storage via MicroSD Card. The back camera will be of 13MP Resolution with the possibility of 4K Video while the front camera will have a 5MP Resolution. The battery size is 2500mAh, hopefully enough to drive that power-hungry screen for a day.

ook at those specs. Just look at them! If Micromax can offer those specifications in the Rs. 10,000 -Rs. 11,000, maybe even 15,000 , then Micromax will have a winner on its hands and due to that, Microsoft will also see increased Windows Phone adoption in India. A Win for both.

Microsoft has announced Micromax along with others like LAVA as Windows Phone partners at the BUILD Conference 2014.

It will have a premium unibody design. Micromax is expected to launch these two Canvas devices on 16th June, two days before Google I/O 2014. Micromax has confirmed to iGyaan about the launch of these devices on 16th June. Specifications haven’t been confirmed.
