Verdict

Micromax always comes up with something interesting in its products but all those products are normally manufactured keeping in view Indian customers and markets. This device is a mediocre one carrying all normal features and there is nothing extraordinary about it. The good feature of this device is the large full HD screen and a wonderful battery life which can be the points of attraction for customers. Rest all features are very normal and can be found in almost every mediocre handset these days. Micromax need to concentrate more on the OS and should provide upgrades to the latest OS. Though this brand name is quite new but it does give good competition to well-known brands like Samsung and Nokia in similar capacity.
