After managing to sell off 20000 units of the Micromax Canvas Spark in under 2 minutes last week, the ultra-affordable smartphone has gone out of stock today in under 5 minutes. During this short time span, the device sold a whopping 50000 units to buyers who had registered beforehand.
The Micromax Canvas Spark is a Snapdeal exclusive, and the first device from the company to be sold via the flash sale model; excluding its sister brand’s Yu Yureka of course. It’s grabbing so much demand owing to its impressive features that are being offered at an extremely low price of Rs 4999.
At that amount, you’re getting an Android Lollipop-running device with a 4.7-inch display bearing a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels. Sure, the screen size of the Canvas Spark is a tad towards the lower side considering today’s standards, but the fact that it’s selling like hotcakes tells us that a large number of people are still in love with the neither-too-large-nor-too-small 4.7-inch display size.
Here’s a quick glance at the specs of the Micromax Canvas Spark:
– Display: 4.7-inch IPS, 960 x 540 pixels
– OS: Android 5.0 Lollipop
– CPU: 1.3GHz quad core MediaTek MT6582M
– GPU: Mali 400
– Memory: 1GB RAM, 8GB storage (expandable till 32GB)
– Cameras: 8MP rear with LED flash, 2MP front
– Battery: 2000mAh
– Weight: 134gms
The combination of a 1.3GHz quad core processor and 1GB worth of RAM keeps the phone going, whereas its imaging and video shooting duties are handled by an 8MP rear camera and a 2MP front snapper. Powering the Micromax handset from within is a 2000mAh battery.
