Home-bred smartphone maker Micromax has finally released the pro-camera handset Canvas Selfie in India.

As said before, Micromax phone's USP is its camera. Canvas Selfie boasts of houses a 13.0-megapixel selfie camera with LARGAN lens and Sony sensor with soft-flash support on the front.

On the rear-side too, it packs a 13mp camera with LARGAN lens and Sony sensor with dual-LED flash support, auto-focus and full HD(1080p) video recording ability.
Other stipulated features include 4.7-inch HD IPS screen, Android 4.4 KitKat OS, 1.7GHz MediaTek Tru Octa-core CPU, 2GB RAM,16GB memory and a 2,300mAh battery, which can run the phone close to 198 hours under standby mode.
