The competition in the Indian smartphone market is getting tense and OEMs are going out of their way to attract buyers. Here's a good example of that as Micromax launched, or should we say re-launched, its Canvas 2 smartphone in partnership with Airtel to give what 4G smartphone users long for most.
Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) was announced by the Indian smartphone maker on Thursday, complete with a bundle of one year of free 4G data and unlimited calls on Airtel's network, for Rs. 11,999. The Canvas 2 (2017) will be available across India May 17 onwards.
The free 4G data and unlimited calling isn't the only bonus buyers get with the Canvas 2 2017 edition. Micromax has also partnered with Corning to offer the Gorilla Glass 5 in its Canvas 2 (2017), which is a strong USP for a phone in this price range.
"Sporting a 2.5D Cover Glass with Corning Gorilla Glass 5, the Canvas 2 gives up to 4 times better performance in drop failure height than other glasses. Equipped with improved drop performance and better retained strength, the device also offers a high standard of optical sharpness and protects against screen damage," the company said in a statement.
With such assurance on the display's quality, Micromax is willing to back it up with one-year free screen-replacement promise for the Canvas 2 (2017). This should certainly attract those who break their phone's screen more often and end up shelling out the top dollar in repair.
