Indian smartphone maker Micromax has launched the Canvas Mega 2, adding one more device to its Canvas series. The Mega 2 is a 6-inch phablet and it is priced at Rs. 7,999.
The Canvas Mega 2 features a 6-inch qHD (540×960 pixels) display. While the display is one of the largest in the price range, the resolution could have been better.
The Canvas Mega 2 is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded up to 32 GB via microSD card.
On the back, the Canvas Mega 2 comes with a 8 megapixel autofocus camera along with LED Flash. On the front, there is a 5 megapixel secondary camera for selfies. The device supports 4G LTE. It is powered by a 3,000mAh battery.
The Canvas Mega 2 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop. On the connectivity front, the device includes 4G LTE, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS/ EDGE, GPS and Micro-USB.
“With the proliferation of 3G and 4G networks, the mobile video traffic is expected to grow at a CAGR of 88% between 2014 and 2019. Mobile gaming is another big area of growth with user base likely to reach 320 million by 2020 (source: statista) from the current 180 million. This has led to the phablet category’s phenomenal growth of 190% in 2015 over previous years. We believe, there will be further rise of mobile internet and persistent increase in demand for larger screens and video consumption. Micromax spotted these trends early on with its super successful Doodle series and now furthering it with Mega series by offering consumers various large screen smartphones options to provide an immersive internet and entertainment experience.” – Shubhajit Sen, Chief Marketing Officer, Micromax.
