Micromax has multiple new models planned under the In series. All these phones will run on a nearly stock Android that won’t include any bloatware or ads, as per Micromax co-founder Sharma. The company is also aiming to target the youth in the country with its In series by offering some performance-centric features on the new models. Further, Micromax In series is teased to have at least two smartphones initially — with MediaTek Helio G35 and Helio G85 SoCs. The phones will also carry an “In” logo at the back and one of the new models will also come with an X-shaped gradient design at the back.
The budget phone in the new series will come with a 6.5-inch HD+ display and include up to 3GB of RAM as well as 32GB of onboard storage, as per a rumour. That model is also said to have dual rear cameras and a 5,000mAh battery. The superior variant powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC is, on the other hand, said to feature triple rear cameras.
