Micromax launches its first 3D smartphone A115 Canvas 3D for Rs 9999 - VC Circle

Homegrown handset manufacturer Micromax has further expanded its Canvas smartphone range with the launch of A115 Canvas 3D. As the name states, the device is the company’s first 3D phone, and it does not require glasses to view its content in 3D. The device is priced at Rs 9,999, and will be available across all leading retail outlets in India from the first week of May 2013. You can also purchase the device from the company’s website. Here is a look at the specifications of the device. The smartphone features a 5 inch touchscreen display (480×800 pixel resolution) with 16.7 million colours. It runs on the latest Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean operating system and is powered by a 1 GHz MT6577 dual-core processor. The device comes with 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32 GB with the help of a microSD card. On the camera front, it has a 5 megapixel rear camera that can record videos at 30 frames per second and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera for video calling. The smartphone also enables users to convert the regular pictures into 3D ones. On the connectivity front, the device has Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, and 3G, as well as a microSD slot. The dimensions and weight of the device are not available as of now, but it comes with GPS. Micromax has provided a 2,000 mAh battery in the device, which it claims will provide four and a half hours of battery life and 225 hours of stand by time. Here is a video introducing the smartphone. The smartphone also comes bundled with ‘Micromax 3D Space’ that provides users access to 3D videos and pre-loaded 3D games (after all, what use is a smartphone with a 3D screen if you don’t have 3D content to watch / play). At Rs 9,999, the smartphone is priced right, but will it be enough to woo in buyers is another matter altogether. Recently Micromax had disclosed that it has sold over 1 million Canvas smartphones. And while building on a successful series is an intelligent way to go, Micromax should not keep its hope very high with the latest offering. Large companies like LG and HTC have already tried their luck with 3D smartphones in the past, but to little success. This is primarily because 3D doesn’t add something game changing to the smartphone (else Apple would have already done it and Samsung already copied it) and some consumers have also complained of becoming disoriented after using a 3D smartphone for a while.
