Micromax’s first hexa-core processor-powered smartphone, the Canvas HD Plus is now available online at Rs. 13,500. However, the smartphone is
yet to be officially announced by the company.
In addition, the
Micromax Canvas Fire
(A093), which went on
sale via an online retailer last week, has been listed on company’s website.
The Micromax Canvas HD
Plus is a dual-SIM device that
runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out-of-the-box. It’s worth noting that both
the Canvas HD Plus and the Canvas Fire join the other KitKat-based
Micromax phones –
Micromax Bolt A069,
Micromax Canvas Entice, Micromax Canvas
Engage, Micromax
Unite 2 (Review | Pictures)
and the recently launched Micromax Canvas Gold.
Canvas
HD Plus features a 5-inch HD (720×1280 pixel) IPS display and the online
retailer’s listing claims that the smartphone boasts Gorilla Glass
protection. It is powered by a 1.5GHz hexa-core processor (unspecified
chipset) coupled with 1GB of RAM. Karbonn launched
the Titanium Hexa, a hexa-core chipset based smartphone earlier this year at Rs.
16,990.
