OnePlus 2:
The company has confirmed that OnePlus 2 will be released on 27 July and if history is taken as any indication, we believe the phone will go on sale in select markets on the same day of the unveiling.
Though OnePlus One came a little late in India, the Chinese company is likely to include the subcontinent in the phase-1 of OnePlus 2 sale. OnePlus has already set up a dedicated region-specific team early this year as it considers India to be one of key markets to drive company's growth for the future.
Micromax Canvas Sliver:
Home-bred smartphone-maker Micromax has confirmed that the recently unveiled flagship handset Canvas Sliver will hit Indian stores for ₹17,999.
Micromax Canvas Sliver, which measures 5.1mm thickness, is said to be the world's slimmest smartphone. Though other brands Gionee, Vivo and Oppo claim that their devices Elife Slim 5.1, X5 Max and R5 have around 4.75-5.1 mm thickness, Micromax states the new Canvas Sliver 5 flaunts uniform thickness from end-to-end with no camera bumps in the middle, making the latter a true slim phone.
Another USP of Micromax Canvas Sliver 5 is that it features aircraft grade aluminum frame around the edges giving a sense of premium and also a sturdy structure to withstand accidental drops. Despite housing metallic structure, it weighs just 97g.
