Micromax's next flagship,Canvas 5 coming in November

Micromax is supposedly planning to release its next flagship smartphone in November end. Micromax plans to overtake Samsung at the top smartphone vendor in India in Q4. The company ruled 22 percent Indian smartphone market in Q2 2013 and 18.8 percent in Q1 2013, whilst Samsung had 26 percent share in Q2.


Co-founder and Business Director of Micromax, Vikas Jain in an interview with Light Reading India said,

We have been rolling out new devices in India. We will be coming with something interesting in the coming two months.

Upcoming flagship device is expected to have NFC and 4G LTE support. Micromax Canvas 4 which was launched in July grew very popular and still now it is in huge demand. We are now seeing new releases from Micromax nearly every week. Some newly released smartphones are : Canvas Fun A76, Canvas Fun A63, Canvas Fun A74, Canvas Ego A113 and Bolt A40. It looks like Micromax is all set to achieve top spot in Indian smartphone market.
Also speaking to Light Reading India, Jain said that if there is demand then Micromax is may also release devices that run Firefox OS or Windows Phone.

Expected price of Micromax Canvas 5

As you can infer from the previous launches of Micromax with every big launch Micromax increases the price range of its products like it did with Canvas HD, then Canvas 4 and Canvas Doodle 2. Hence Micromax Canvas 5 will of-cource be superior than Canvas 4 and we can expect Micromax Canvas 5 to cost around ₹.20,000. And may go even upto ₹21,000. But higher than that cannot be expected.
