Micromax to forge into Russian and Eastern European market



Micromax has been extremely successful in India and is all set to overtake Samsung as the No 1 smartphone manufacturer in India.
Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma unveiled his plans about overseas markets.
He said
Our end goal is to go global as an Indian hardware brand. I do not want to be seen as an Indian company anymore. We have tested waters in markets such as Bangladesh and Sri Lanka and we are among the top three phone brands in both the markets.
We are launching in Russia in December and if I am able to crack Russia, we will also able to capture the whole (of) Europe. We have a couple of products especially for that market, and Google doesn’t work there so we have tied up with Yandex on the application level.
Rahul Sharma also said that they are looking to acquire a software company.He said
The next war will be in software and not hardware. Some massive thing will happen from our side on software. We are already in a lookout for software companies and as and when we find one that fits with the organization, we will do it.

Micromax Canvas Magnus A 117 - Image and specification leaked

Amidst the Launch of  much hyped Micromax Canvas Turbo A 250 , here comes one more participant from Micromax for the festive season. This entrant is known as Micromax Canvas Magnus A 117. MMXNewscaster has published the image Canvas Magnus with the specification. Although there is no information on the price point. Canvas Magnus comes in the same theme of 5Inchers. Device has 5 Inch of capacitive display with 1280*720 resolution which is same with Canvas HD. Device is running on Android Jelly bean 4.2 and we can expect to get the 4.3 update or might be KitKat release also. Device is powered with 1.5 Ghz Quadcore processor with unknown GPU. This device might be running with MediaTek 6589T chipset which is rumoured to power Canvas Turbo also.


Canvas Magnus has 1GB RAM and 4 GB Inbuilt memory with 32 GB expandable memory slot. In terms of looks , Magnus share the similarities with Canvas Doodle 2 which also has same kinda back.
Primary Camera of the device is 12MP with LED flash where as front facing is 5 MP. It seems, Micromax is using the same cameras that they used in Canvas Doodle 2. Battery of the device is 2000mAh which is same that power all canvas series devices except The Doodle 2 which has 2600mAh. Other connectivity options include GPS , Bluetooth , Wifi ,3.5 mm audio jack.
There is no information on the price and the date of launch. Canvas Magnus fits between Canvas HD and Canvas 4 as the device has same configuration that Micromax Canvas HD has but has an edge over Camera over cameras with 12 MP and 5MP in comparison to 8MP and 3.2 MP. It got bigger processor but has same RAM ,ROM and battery. In terms of comparison with Canvas 4 , it lags in terms of Sony BSI sensor enabled 13 MP primary camera and 16GB ROM. we cant leave the full aluminium body of Canvas 4 also.

Micromax should fill the gap between Canvas HD and Canvas 4 and should price it around 14-15 k which can attract more potential buyer.

Configurations and expectations from Micromax canvas Turbo

Rumours are on top high because of Hugh Jackman , Full HD display and flagship from the Micromax who are famous for creating lot of buzz from there latest offering. This time , they came up with Micromax Canvas Turbo A 250 which will be company's first Full HD display device. People are expecting a lot but only time and Micromax can reveal what all will be in final package. Hugh Jackman is not an easy deal to bring under the table that says, something big is cooking. Micromax Canvas Doodle 2 is the costliest of there all offerings with the price tag of around 18K-19K. Indian people know Micromax for there value to money handsets not for giving premium finish, where as on other hand we expect a good looking device but are not ready to pay , the reason is country's own brand. We believe , if Micromax team will launch Micromax Canvas Turbo taking price into consideration , they can achieve more.

lets see , what people are expecting from this device :

 Display :  From leaked sources and code base , it is confirmed that Canvas Turbo will come with 1920*1080 pixel resolution. Screen size will be 5Inch that means 440+ PPI. The display will be a charm to look into.

Operating system : Google is ready with 4.4 KitKat release. We can expect Canvas Turbo to come preloaded. If not preloaded than at least FOTA support for the same.
 Anything less than that will fade the shine of the Canvas Turbo.

 Processor and Memory : Code base revealed that Canvas Turbo is running on 1.5 GHZ quad core MediaTek 6589T Chip set with PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU. We are still in doubt , reason is Mediatek's true Octa core processor. Mediatek recently launched there Octacore processor and Micromax is the one who are first in attempting new things and are the first to bring Mediatek in Indian market. This doubt will be cleared once the final specifications will be unveils.
 Device is supposed to be of 1GB RAM with 32 GB inbuilt memory.

 Camera : This field , we have a big expectation. Micromax Posted in Facebook wall and shown some indication for major software upgradation in terms of Camera. There post says of a feature which allows users to remove unwanted objects from the pics without distorting image. This feature we have seen in HTC one with named as HTC Zoe.
 HTC zoe has other features also which include taking prior pics before clicking , showing few seconds clips for video as a previews , Slow motion recording and more.
 We are not sure of all these features but can expect good upgradation here. Primary camera is supposed to be 13 MP with no specified sensor. Micromax already given 13MP camera with Sony BSI sensor in Canvas 4 which impressed users with its clicking capabilities.

 Many devices in market are already running on Sony BSI sensor 2 so, we can expect BSI sensor 2 here also.

 Front camera if of 5 MP and is shown in sketch image also. we believe both cameras can create videos in Full HD format so, that Canvas Turbo users can view all in full HD.

 Looks and feel : This is a very confusing topic for Indian market. People want good looks, metallic body ,slim devices but don't want to pay for Indian manufacturers. Indian users can pay 25K or more for brands which come from outside but cant pay even close to 20K for such built quality by Indian manufacturers.
So, We expect a decent build quality but that should not exceed the price more.
Canvas Turbo will come with Aluminium body that can be uni-body. From the pics , both the SIM card slots are on sides of Handset so, might be there will be no expandable memory. 

Battery and connectivity option : Battery of the Canvas Turbo is still unknown.Full HD screen uses more juice so, Micromax has to give Powerhouse to this handset. 3000mAh will be a good one.
In terms of connectivity GPS , micro USB 2.0 , Bluthooth version 4 , wifi are expected at least.
we have seen many devices with NFC capabilities and Infra red option to use your device as Remote. NFC is a feature which an Indian customer hardly uses and there is no point to give such feature to only increase the price value. where as Infra red capability can be of great use.



Price : coming to the final point that is Price of the device. Canvas 4 is a good build handset with many new features like pause and play , blow air to unlock , multi window but is priced a bit high. If the device would be under 15k-16K , we belive it would have done much better.
For Micromax Canvas Turbo , price of 15k or around would be a decent one. More than this will create doubt in mind whether to go for Canvas turbo or to add some more bucks and go for Samsung or Sony devices.

Well, this all are our expectation and assumptions. Ball is in Micromax's court ,let see whether Canvas Turbo will shake the market or will be just an average selling device.

Micromax Canvas turbo to house 13MP rear camera and Metallic uni body

Micromax knows how to keep people talking about there devices. In past few days we all witnessed many things like first FHD device in the shape of Micromax Canvas Turbo with full of goodies , Hugh Jackman as the brand ambassador for Micromax , New commercial with Hugh Jackman, New dedicated website for Canvas Turbo. Micromax is trying all to maintain the curiosity along with the user interaction with there latest offering. Yesterday, we seen there post in Facebook that shows some major camera enhancements and now, they have posted the snap of primary camera on there facebook page. Although the pic has no information on MP but MMXNewscaster has revealed another pic on there twitter page that speaks of 13MP snapper with secondary mic for better audio while creating videos.


One thing we can really appreciate about Micromax is there focus on build quality. They are continuously using Metal in there devices which makes devices looks premium and sturdy. Micromax Canvas Turbo is no exception. The shiny curves shows the metal work with lines and edges to make it look really premium.



From the above pic , it seems Canvas Turbo will have non removable battery cover which gives us hint of no expansion slot as from the sketch we have seen both SIM slot at the sides so, this device can come with 16 or 32 GB inbuilt memory. 16GB is good memory to have but many people feel they need more space, taking that consideration , 32GB as internal will be good enough.

Lets wait and see what Micromax is doing with there latest Micromax Canvas Turbo.

Micromax Canvas Turbo A 250 - Be ready for some serious photography !!

Have you seen the latest upload from Micromax on their Facebook page ? Its stating "There's always 'that' guy in the picture " , this hints us the camera enhancements done for Micromax Canvas Turbo. Earlier Micromax officials had said in an interview that they are focusing more on the Software upgradation than the Hardware. This new promotion is indicating the same. After introducing 5 Inch FHD display and 5MP front facing camera now its turn for some serious software capabilities. Micromax Canvas Turbo may have some Camera functionality that is similar to HTC's flagship device camera feature name as Zoe mode. Zoe mode has a special feature that automatically detect the unwanted object in your picture and gives you option to remove those without downgrading or leaving any effect on your picture.


 We feel Micromax has equipped there latest upcoming device Canvas Turbo with this functionality. From the Facebook post , it is clear that Unwanted object removal feature will be there in picture but have to check the preview or best selection mode features are added or not.


To remind you all that as per news , Canvas Turbo will house a 13MP auto focus primary camera with LED flash and can shoot videos in Full HD resolution. We are expecting to get the same or even better Sony BSI sensor for beautiful pics and videos that we have seen in Micromax canvas 4. Other features include a 1.5GHz quadcore Mediatek 6589T chipset with PowerVR GPU , Jelly bean operating system , 1GB RAM , 16 GB inbuilt , Metallic body and good looks.

Stay tuned for more information. Please note that above specs are taken from various Leaks and tech websites , final configurations will be revealed by Micromax Canvas turbo team only.

Sketch of Micromax Canvas Turbo is out !!

After the new dedicated Website and appointing New brand ambassador Hugh Jackman for there latest Micromax Canvas Turbo , here comes the sketch of Canvas Turbo. MMX Newscaster has posted the sketch of Micromax Canvas Turbo in there latest Tweet. Canvas turbo resembles with Apple 5 in looks because of more in length in comparison to width. Device has 5MP front facing camera with micro USB at top and 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom. Turbo has dual SIM card slot and placed at left side that simply means you dont have to pull off the battery and than insert SIM card , this gives us a hint of non removable back cover. There is no extra slot mentioned in Turbo for Micro SD card also which can mean device has fixed 16 GB or 32 GB internal storage.


From the sketch , few things are clear now, like Full HD display , 5MP front facing camera.
Popular online retailer Saholic has listed the device with the price tag of 9999/- Rs only but later they removed the price tag and mentioned as coming soon. They have listed the complete features which include FHD display , 1 GB RAM , 1.5 Ghz Quadcore 6589T chipset , PowerVR SGX 544MP GPU, 16GB inbuilt , 32 GB expnadable , 13 MP back camera with FHD recording. Canvas turbo will be running on jelly bean 4.2.

there is no information on the battery capacity but we can expect it to be a bigger one to last longer with FHD display.
As per rumours , if the Canvas turbo with above specification will come with a price tag of 10K or near than this will be a steal. There is no device in market with FHD and price less than 14k or 15K so, considering that if Micromax will be able to do that than what else Indian people can expect more this Diwali.
