Micromax In 1A and In 1 are expected to launch tomorrow. Of the two, the Micromax In 1 is expected to cater to the mid-range smartphone segment in India, and could be priced around Rs 15,000. Tipped specifications of the smartphone include the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC and a quad rear camera setup, which Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma teased in a recent ‘first look’ video on YouTube. At its price, the In 1 may rival the likes of Realme Narzo 20 Pro, the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, the Poco X3 and the Samsung Galaxy M31s.
The Micromax In 1A, meanwhile, is targeting an even more affordable price segment – potential leaks have suggested that the device may cost as low as Rs 6,999, and as a result, rival popular smartphones such as the Realme C12, Redmi 9A and Poco C3.
