Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) has been launched in partnership with Airtel. The mobile operator
will offer one year of free 4G data (capped at 1GB per day) and unlimited free
calling to any mobile network after the purchase of Canvas 2 (2017). The
smartphone has been priced by the company at Rs. 11,999 and will be made
available at retail outlets across the country from Wednesday, May 17.
The Micromax Canvas 2 (2017) will come
"pre-bundled" with an Airtel 4G SIM card. Apart from the Airtel
offer, the most noteworthy feature on the new Canvas 2 is the presence of
Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. In this price range, Canvas 2 (2017)
certainly appears to be the first smartphone to offer Gorilla Glass 5, and
Micromax says it has partnered with Corning to make this possible. In a
statement, Micromax elaborates on the improved drop performance and resistance
to screen damage that this implementation brings.
The dual-SIM Canvas 2 (2017) runs Android 7.0 Nougat
and sports a 5-inch HD (720x1280) display. The smartphone is powered by a
1.3GHz quad-core (make unspecified) processor coupled with 3GB of RAM.
The smartphone comes with a 13-megapixel rear camera
with flash and features different modes including Bokeh, Panorama, and HDR. At
front, there is a 5-megapixel camera with wide angle lens, f/2.0 aperture, auto
focus, and a 5P lens. The Canvas 2 (2017) features 16GB of inbuilt storage,
which is expandable up to 64GB.
In terms of connectivity, the new Canvas 2 (2017)
offers options including 4G VoLTE connectivity, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth,
and GPS. It houses a 3050 mAh battery and will be made available in Champagne
and Black colours. Micromax is also offering a '1-year screen replacement
promise' with the Canvas 2 (2017), applicable from the date of activation.
