The Micromax Canvas 5 has been unveiled and will hit markets in India on November 4 priced at Rs 11999. The handset is set to be offered with an Airtel Double Data scheme for 3G and 4G users.
The dual-SIM Micromax Canvas 5 is a considerable improvement over its predecessor, which was launched all the way back in 2013. It now possesses a 5.2-inch IPS 1080p display with a 2.5D curved glass design and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. While the handset currently runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, the company has promised an upgrade to Marshmallow sometime in the future.
Under the hood, the Canvas 5 derives its juice from a non-removable 2900mAh battery which is supposed to deliver 10 hours of talk time and 275 hours of standby time. It’s powered by an octa-core 1.3GHz MediaTek 6753 processor paired with a Mali-T720 MP2 GPU and 3GB of RAM. The phone carries a 13MP autofocus main camera accompanied by LED flash, 5P lens and a blue optical filter.
