Missed watching India beat Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy last night? Well, then you probably haven’t been put through umpteen re-runs of Micromax teasing their next big smartphone. This time it’s the Canvas 4, teased in two short commercials in between overs. The new flagship will go on pre-order from June 28.
According to our sources, the phone will have a HD display, although it was not revealed whether it will be full HD. We were also told that it would be priced between Rs 23,000 and Rs 25,000. Given that price, we wouldn’t bet against it being a 1080p display. At that price range, the Canvas 4 will be taking on the Galaxy S3, which is still a hot seller in the market.
The camera lens is placed on the top-left corner of the back and the second teaser gave us a sneak peek at its 13-megapixel sensor and the LED flash on the back. The camera sits right on the left corner and is very deeply recessed to protect it from scratches. Overall, the phone looks much better than any other Micromax phone we have seen in the past and is far from generic.
here is no word out as yet about the storage options on the Canvas 4 but the tech world is hoping that Micromax will give it at least 16 GB of built-in memory with the option to extend it externally by another 32 GB. It will be ideal if the smartphone packs in a RAM of 2 GB.
The speculation that is making tech enthusiasts sit up and take notice of the Canvas 4 more than anything else is that surrounding its processor. The Android 4.2.2 smartphone is apparently powered by an octa-core chipset that makes it one of the fastest and most responsive devices of its kind. In addition, the handset is rumoured to offer users a new way to unlock it as well.
If its teasers are anything to go by, the Canvas 4 seems to sport a brushed aluminium finish on its back panel in addition to its chrome plated sides. The handset looks every bit like a premium handset and it’s no wonder that it is expected to be priced somewhere in the range of Rs. 23,000 and Rs. 25,000.
Good one… Look is good
