Micromax is teasing the launch through its social media channels
A budget phone with “modern look” is in the works
Micromax will host the launch tentatively next month
Micromax is planning to launch three new smartphones in India soon, including a budget phone with “premium” features and “modern look”. The Indian company is teasing the launch through its social media channels ahead of any official announcement. This new development comes amid the anti-China sentiment that has reached new levels due to the clashes at Galvan Valley. Micromax launched the iOne Note as its last smartphone in the country in October, and it is listed online with a price tag of Rs. 8,199.
In a separate tweet, the company said that it has a new device in development with premium features, “thoroughly modern look and budget friendly.”
Micromax is using hashtags #MadeByIndian and #MadeForIndian in its tweets to support the ongoing sentiments to boycott Chinese products. However, the company is not saying whether it’s manufacturing the new models in India or outsourcing from a manufacturer in China.
