Micromax Canvas A92 Lite goes online for pre-order at Rs.8499

Micromax Canvas A92 Lite has been released online on Flipkart. And within hours of its release, the phone has gone out of stock! It sports a 1Ghz dual core processor and a 5″ screen putting it right there with other phablets. Also it has a thickness of 10.8mm considering the fact that it is a Dual SIM phone. The phone looks really stunning and the camera flash on typical smartphones is in a square shape but the one on this is in a shape of a thin rectangle. Only concern is whether this design mantra would adverse affect the quality of lighting delivered. This phone has a really cook and sleek look going.

Micromax Canvas A92 Lite Specifications:

• 5″ screen with IPS display.


• Resolution is a 480×854 and 196PPI


• 1GHz Dual core processor


• 512MB of RAM (The only drawback)


• 5MP rear camera with LED flash (Design factor)


• Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS


• Connectivity wise, it supports 3G ,WiFi, Bluetooth and also aGPS.


• 2000 mAh battery (Should be capable of doing justice to its core)


• Dual SIM (GSM+GSM)


• Internal memory of 4GB , expandable up to 32GB via microSD.

Conclusion:

Personally I feel this is the most extreme level of budgeting. A little while ago if someone had told me the features and asked to guess the price I’d have said a figure of Rs.15k minimum. But Micromax has achieved to fit all this into a neat and tidy budget of Rs.8499. This is not only making smartphones accessible to the common man but is also taunting its competitors with the challenge being placed in front of them that Micromax will provide all the features they are providing at almost half the price. This is questioning the giants whether they are making us pay purely for the brand name.
