This makes it the only budget smartphone in the Indian market right now, with the exception of the LG Q6 priced at Rs. 14,990, with an 18:9 display aspect ratio.

At the launch event of this smartphone, Micromax also announced a 24-hour service promise to repair or replace the device in that stipulated time frame. Micromax claims that this service will be available at Micromax Express Service centres exclusively, and the list of these centres will be updated on the website.

Notably, the factory system images and OTA update for compatible phones were made live by Google just a day ago. As we mentioned, While the smartphone is an Amazon India exclusive for now, co-founder Rahul Sharma did confirm that the smartphone will be sold through offline channels as well, eventually.
