New Delhi: Micromax has launched its first set of Windows Phone-based smartphones - Canvas Win W092 and Canvas Win W121 - in India. Both are budget phones, with the former priced at Rs 6,500, while the latter will come for Rs 9,500. The Canvas Win W092 is believed to be the cheapset Windows Phone smartphone in India.
Both smartphones run Windows Phone 8.1 OS and use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 1.2 GHz quad-core processor. The Micromax Canvas Win W092 and Wi122 are dual-SIM phones and have 1 GB of RAM.
The Micromax Canvas Win W092 has a 4-inch screen and 1500mAh battery; it carries a price tag of Rs 6,500. The Canvas Win W121, on the other hand, features a 5-inch display, an 8 megapixel rear camera, and a 2 megapixel front camera. Priced at Rs 9,500, the Win W121 has 8GB of internal memory, which is expandable up to 32GB.
Having launched its Windows Phone smartphones today, Micromax has become the first Indian brand to offer Windows phones.
Microsoft announced its partnership with India's homegrown handset maker Micromax at Microsoft's BUILD conference in San Francisco in April. This move is expected to intensify competition in the smartphone and tablets space.
The software giant has already announced that it will offer its Windows OS free to smartphone and tablet makers, a move that will help the firm compete with Google's Android and Apple's iOS in the fiercely competitive smart devices market. After Micromax, we can now expect more Windows Phone devices from other Indian brands in future.
