The Micromax Canvas Infinity was released about a
month ago. The mid-range device is the first smartphone with a full-screen
display from the Indian brand. It appears that another one will be arriving
soon as a Micromax HS3 with a smaller but similar display has been seen on
GFXBench.
The Micromax HS3 runs Android 7.1.2. It has a
5.1-inch display which is significantly smaller than the 5.7-inch screen of the
Canvas Infinity. However, both devices have the same 1440 x 720 resolution
which translates to a 2:1 display.
The HS3 is powered by a octa-core processor which is
either the Snapdragon 430/435 with an Adreno 505 GPU. It has 3GB of RAM and
32GB of storage. GFXBench reveals the full-screen display will not be the only
selling point of the Micromax HS3 when it hits shelves. Its front camera is
listed as a 20MP sensor and the rear camera is a 16MP sensor.
If the price is right, then it should be able to
swing buyers away from the Vivo V7+ which has a 24MP selfie camera, an 18:9
display and a INR 21,990 (US$ 343) price. The GFXBench may mean a release date is
not far ahead.
