#Micromax launches Canvas HD A116i for Rs 13,500

Micromax looks to be in a phone-launching frenzy these days. The company seems to have quietly released a new smartphone—the A116i—which can be picked up through various online retailers. The phone has quite a varying price tag, ranging between Rs 12,090 to Rs 13,500. It is a dual-SIM phone that runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean out of the box and sports a 5-inch 720p display, giving it a pixel density of 294ppi.

Under the hood, it is powered by the ever-popular MediaTek MT6589 quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz alongside a PowerVR SGX 544 GPU to handle the graphics side of things. It also has 1GB of RAM, which seems to be the standard for mid-range smartphones these days. Connectivity options include 3G, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. All of this is kept alive by a 2,000mAh battery.

Photographers will be able to use the 8 megapixel camera on the back, which features an LED flash. There is also a 2 megapixel front-facing camera for video-calling and selfie-related purposes. It has 4GB of internal memory, out of which 1.77GB is available to users. If this seems to be too low for you, don’t worry; you can expand the memory up to 32GB by using a microSD card.

Here's a quick refresh of the specs:
  • 5-inch display with 720p resolution
  • 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
  • 8 megapixel camera; 2 megapixel front-facing camera
  • 4GB internal memory expandable up to 32GB via microSD

All in all, judging by the hardware, the A116i seems to be a revision model of the A116, which was launched in early 2013. The smartphone was Micromax’s flagship at the time, and boasted of impressive hardware.
