Micromax A116 or the Micromax Canvas HD initially was priced at Rs. 13,999 and soon went out of stock. Micromax increased the price to Rs. 14,500 and still went out of stock. And now the same handset is priced at Rs. 15,999 on Flipkart and again went out of stock.
Is the MMX A116 for Rs. 16K really worth the price?
There are many reasons for the price rise. The Excise duty (budget after effect), the Ericsson case and I believe the demand hype (high demand low manufacturing output) has had an impact on the price. Micromax I think felt it better to increase the price to Rs. 16,000. This will not only reduce the demand (a hike of 2K is way too much for many consumers) but also increase the profit margin.
I think the price is too much, I got the Micromax A116 for Rs. 13,999 that was the best price, even Rs. 14,499 is affordable, but 16K, no way. The Wammy Titan II becomes the best 5 inch quad core option, i.e if you are comfortable with the WickedLeak brand or the Zopo 910 which is the same but not yet available. If it’s your budget that is stopping you or you need a smaller screen the Xolo Q800 is the next / cheapest quad core option. Gionee Dream D1 is another good option to look for if you can spend over 15K.
Have your Say – about the MMX A116 price rise!
micromax a89 better than grand. Samsung ke cost hamari Jeb sumsang kar dega.
with Samsung galaxy grand available at rs 17,700 only insane people out of their minds would buy micromax at 16,000. what a rip-off !!!!!
galaxy grand is also a rip-off paying 17000 for wvga screen wake up guys just for brand name paying twice is not worth
u r insane murtuza, manu is correct guys who dnt know anything abt technlogy wil go for samsng!,
I will wait for umi x2 or wammy titan 3.
I use to trust in brand and used nokia and samsung but my new dual sim samsung mobile started getting hanged three year back and gave try to Micromax it is working quiet well price is low but main concern is accessories and parts are not low cost I got my first mmx mobile q50 for 3500 rs and had to change some parts after 1 year for 1200 rs. so in my opinion it is not worth to buy mmx 116 for so high cost which you are going to use not more than 1 year without any expense on repair.
sorry sir I was wrong it is stored in internal SD card as memory classified as phone
internal SD
external sd
Gogi bhai can u suggest me to instal flip board app in my MMX 116

Dear all,
FYI.,Micromax Canvas HD A116 is available in Saholic site for 14499 INR.
http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/micromax-canvas-hd-a116-1005757
Its Out of Stock now
Hi Guys,
Its in stock at Saholic @ 14,499/-
Hurry up.
I got it from delhi MMX store at price 15200
i got flip cover and screen guard free
I suggest u to look lnto or near dealers it is available with them
instead looking into online
believe me also like u tracing this mobile from Feb 14
though flip cover is below standard
I ordered Xolo Q800 on indiatimes/hs18 and it get cancelled on both site saying OOS. and now in my local area CANVAS HD is available for 14k. But its 3k more than xolo. what should i do?
Gogi.. As we all know that flipkart is pricing most of the items on high price as compared to other online sites.. i mentioned it earlier that the same phone HD 116 is availble in the market under 14500… i bought couple of phones few days back on 13900 and today the seller told me now it is 14500…. not too much but 16k is tooo much and i suggest all of the readers to purchase the phone from local shop rather than from online retailers.
Gogi,
Please check if you can compare Karbonn Titanium S5 and micromax a116
Gogi, dont you think that the biggest disadvantage of Canvas HD is that you cant install apps directly on the external memory? Whereas a similar specd phone like Passion Y with a better battery can. Under the current circumstances would Passion Y be the best buy, what do you think? Would it be safe to agree on the above?
Mangesh, yes I have mentioned this many times. It’s software related and Micromax can fix it.
Hi, i recently bought this Canvas HD for my wife for 15k from Local store in Hyderabad. Its running on Android 4.1.2. And still am not seeing the features like vertical left scroll/menu bar and splitting the screen into 2 to perform different tasks in different windows, which got added to my old Samsung Galaxy3 after the software upgrade to 4.1.2. Is there any setting i need to do on Canvas HD to see those things? Though my canvas HD and Galaxy s3 are running on the same OS, why the look and feel are so different?
Sekhar its cause of the apps on the Samsung handset, those apps are made specially for Samsung and are probably licence’d.
sir I am storing my aaps in external SD card by the way how would u tracing ensure that it is storing in external
I use to look into setting/ apps/ about there it give me a option move to internal SD
then I presume it is store in external memory
is this step to check is right???
in ncr…its even being sold at 16,500……
do u think its better to add few more bucks and rather buy samsung galaxy grand????whats ur opinion mr.gogi??
I got it from delhi MMX store at price 15200
i got flip cover and screen guard free
I suggest u to look lnto or near dealers it is
available with them
is not this is good buy???
Can anybody have info when this phone will be available in again in stock with price tag of 14.5k
I got my Canvas Hd for 15000 from snapdeal. I dont think 16000 or anything above it is not the worth for this phone. What i regret is i can’t play and install apps in internal memory. Game like Nova 3, Asphalt 7, mortal C etc are out of reach for me. And i am scared to root the phone either as was not successful in doing so.
Thinking to exchange with wammy titan 2.
I think Xolo Q800 is an excellent option. I have been using this handset for ~3 weeks now and very much satisfied with the performance. It also has a good battery life. For normal operations like phone calls and internet (non gaming use of the phone), the Xolo Q800 battery is amazing. Like gogi said, if you don’t mind 4.5inch screen, Xolo Q800 is THE phone in that price range.
Nokia 520 is much better in the price range. You will have Nokia quality.
What kind of quality when it sucks with 512 mb ram? The company was my favorite. But now it is giving mid-range phones with less ram. Where androids are available. They could take Rs 1000 more and add a 1 gb with it so that we can use the wp8 full functionality.

What say Gogi ?
Seems like micromax is selling rebranded zopo handsets. The design is very similer
mr. gogi
can i root my canvas hd and install mfs mw like heavy games?
is there any root available that you can recomanded me ?
i want ur expert advise. and have you rooted your canvas HD ?
please reply…….
and will rooting voids handset warranty ? and after unrooting can we get warranty back?
Yes, rooting will definetely void the warranty so better to root after expiry of warranty period…..
ZOPO ZP980 specs are 1GB/16GB/Quad Core/
Dear Gogi, Budget is not constraints for me it is 10-15K, but I just want to know A116 @ 14.5K, Gionee D1 @ 15.1K & Xolo Q800 @ 11K which one you consider best value for money in terms of features, accessories etc. pl reply I hv to order within next 2-3 hrs.
Well the title is misleading… there’s a huge difference of 500 Rs. Flipkart listed it for 15.5K & your title says 16K. Also the snapdeal is still selling it @ 15K (Out of stock just like flipkart). Canvas HD is still available in Croma (Mira Road, Mumbai) for 15K.
Just bcoz Flipkart listed it @ 15.5K & that too Out of stock we can’t just decide that the price has been increased.
This is the first article on Gogi’s blog giving out misleading information without any source.
Well yesterday I think it was 15.5K & now they have increased it to 16K. Just ignore that part from my comment above.
Nady, the image is from flipkart website, and you can also check this link http://www.flipkart.com/micromax-canvas-hd-a116/p/itmdjhwueg4jvtsx?pid=MOBDJ8H9X7VQEMUA
And ah sorry its 15,999 and not 16,000 anyway Rs. 1 isn’t going to make much of a difference ;-).
i agree with Gogi…the prices are increasing like anything for this handset..people are selling there Grand and going for it….rising demand is just making things Out Of Stock…i fear they just want to hike the prices and stuff there stocks for few days and then release it .. 🙂
Nady.. Pls use your eys and your senses before putting useless comments. If you have anything to contribute then only comment, please..
Sorry, but its very boring to see useless comments and searching for contribution with real information.
Thanks Shivaji, I will from now remove comments that makes no sense as then the discussion diverts to other that was was made for.
That sounds great Gogi. I still say you are having a misleading Title in your article. Just because Flipkart lists it at 16K that doesn’t mean the company has increased their prices.
The product is available at Saholic for 14.5K & the same is available right now.
Shivaji, Ignored.
Agree Nady, its great that other sites are selling at lower than 16K, but the article is about …is it worth it? In simple words if its at 16K nah… if its 14,499 or – something okay I can think of..
Thanks for clarifying. If you could have used that “IF” word in the Title that would have been great but still it’s OK.
Also the new Yellow notification bar at the top is awesome. Loved it.
Dude it is being sold in Tardus for 16000 to 17000.

Hi,
I’ve seen Micromax A116 available in syberplace.com at around 15,000 Rs. Checkout the link.
syberplace.com/micromax-a116-canvas-hd.html
Gogi sir,
Is syberplace a trusted site?
Deepak it’s a new site, so avoid it for now, or if they have COD then you can think of.
Dear Gogi A116 @ 14.5K, Gionee D1 @ 15.1K & Xolo Q800 @ 11K which one you buy, pl answer with some reasons which is best value for money.
Really want your reply urgently.
A116 for 14.5 is good but not sure if it is still selling for that price, other cheaper option is Xolo Q800 or go for the Gionee D1. Depends on availability and your budget.
hello friends,
i brought the full white version at 15500 from a local store in Ahmadabad,i think its about 1000 rs more worth the phone,but then i was really frustrated waiting for canvas hd or some good phon in this price range<15k,actually i went to buy xolo a 1000, that’s about 13.5k at local store then stumbled upon canvas 2 that was about 11.4k for white only..then came across canvas hd that’s at 15.5k so from xolo there is a 2000rs price increase but then you have to consider quad core processor, micromax service which is better than xolo and overall canvas 116 is a better performing device…so 2k worth spending is worth…then i have used this device for 2 days now and its great in terms of performance the new device is full white so i find it much good looking than the black and white one and they seemed to have made some change to the body all together the back cover has rubber finish the handset looks premium but the built quality feels a bit weak thats the only place where grand wins but you can always buy a good case…again considering higher brand phones you will have galaxy s advance that’s about 14.5k huwaei g 600 that’s 14k,lg l9 thats 17.5k and grand thats 18.8k…lg l9 is a can compete to a116 in terms of price and built quality…but performance a116 beats all it competes with s3 removing some extra features samsung provides that’s 30k…and finally you can decie what you want if you want a phone now go for a116..dont go for zopo or wammy…or wait a few months canvas hd prices may get dropped as micromax is likely to get high stocks of a116 in months…
really good comment i am going to buy canvas hd now…
wait for in stock in infibeam nd sochlic…then buy from there….itna wait kya hai to thoda sa aur shi…even crap site like snapdeal selling @ price 14999…
It’s sad but true that not only for 15999, even for 17999 there are people who will purchase MMX HD…..
Website like flipkart ..spoils all the rate…this is not a matter of Ericson case..etc…flipkart trying to sell in black..like all the local retailer already selling canvas hd @ 16k….
why infibeam and sochlic .com selling @ price 14499…
flipkart always launch a product in increase price tag..or specially when the product is not available anywhere…for increased profit.
Is there any tablet which has a gud rear/front camera, facility for dongle connection & screen at least 7 to 8″? My budget is around 20 to 25 k…
Where is wammy titan 2 available in mumbai?
HI Sudha,
Please check wickedleak.org/stores
Go for IPAD mini 🙂 or wait for Nexus tab 2(should be available somewhere around may).
Sudha, visit AinolIndia.com. They have really good tablets and service.
Its a big brand of China and has good build quality.
@sudha galaxy note 8.0 or nexus 7 32 gb from asus site
You can not buy one…. It will be always out of stock…. MMX will soon launch a little downgraded version of the same which can be named between A111 To A115… wait Fot It….
Just got my Canvas A116 after a long wait.
Without a bargain I got it for Rs. 14300 . But if insisted I could have lowere a few bucks. Anyways a superb phone . And it did worth my wait.
I suggest don’t buy it online, rather go by your nearby retailer.
Dear Gogi A116 @ 14.5K, Gionee D1 @ 15.1K & Xolo Q800 @ 11K which one you buy, pl answer with some reasons.
Really want your reply urgently.
My priority mainly mail,web surfing, watching movies but not hard core gamer.
It’s definitely due to budget, but still i believe bcoz it’s available at lower prices in other stores, it’s the seller (flipkart, indiatimes etc), who is playing the trick. They are selling it in black. They know the price on the package is more, so they anyhow sell it under MRP.
SO it’s the seller, not MMX. MMX is still better. You can deal with an irritating customer support guy (which i guess samsung has more) rather than waiting days and months and years for the zopo, gionee and umi handsets to get shipped to their support centers and get it back in a better shape.
Available for 14499 @ saholic
http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/micromax-canvas-hd-a116-1005757
available for 14790 @ chipkart
MMX think they are the best and are not caring about Zopo or UMi or Gionee. They are going down once these people set up properly in India! Bye bye MMX!
It is clearly visible MMX agenda. They misuse the market for quick profit. Now it’s time for consumers like us to teach them a lesson by not listening to the hype.
Brands are not made on a single day. There should be a lot of effort from manufacture to build a brand. That is why Samsung and Nokia are trustworthy. MMX is no where by simply playing market gimmicks on our favourite brand. Whatever they try to make through shortcut will never sustain.
What effort MMX has made on A116 other than rebranding the product in India. Adding some bloatwares does not give a pure smartphone experience. No innovation from MMX on their product. They used the market for profit but it will never give them customer’s best brand title unless they change their strategy.
Canvas 2 is also available in flipkart now in stock for 10999..
It’s white only I think
Friends don go mad for A116. This all is happening due to the media hype, and not due to the demand solely. Some mobile-reviewing blogs are being paid heavily to do this blunder. So never follow any blog blindly.
Also never go for the specs on papers. I am having both mobiles Canvas2 as well as Canvas HD in my circle. I am also using Canvas 2 as a secondary phone. But to be very honest, no layman (who uses the mobile phone w/o having knowledge of specs) can tell the difference between these two models. So first u decide wts ur requirements.
Also my friends having any of these two models would agree that the camera flash ( so called double LED flash) is of no use at all for clicking pics/videos. Its nothing more than a feeble torch light in basic phones. To check it u can just click and compare pics clicked by Galaxy Ace camera (5mp with single LED flash) and A116/A110 at night using flash. U will note d difference and performance yourself. I personally score 01/10 for A116/A110 flash. Rather I would say that consider them a phone without flash (or u can say mobile with a torch-light). Otherwise in day light camera rocks and is super superb.
I m nobody to guide anybody here. But it hurts when i see the deliberately created situation to cheat and rob off our hard earned money.
So don be a part of crowd. Make your own choices. Dont get misled by me or any one else. Give your decision a practical approach, and not the theoretical one.
Thanks
And sorry if it hurts anybody here.
Hi Gogi Sir
I sold my MMX 110 Canvas 2 just to buy Canvas HD…and now its for 16k
I will never buy it in this price….Gogi ji please suggest me a better phone in….and when you are getting X2 …would that be a better option
I am waiting for your review
On Saholic the price is 14499
http://www.saholic.com/mobile-phones/micromax-canvas-hd-a116-1005757
That’s good but it seems out of stock, lets see when they get the stock will they keep the same price or increase the price like Flipkart did.
Yes, it is out of stock!!
Stock for A116 Available @ Saholic .Price:14499/-
how abt karbonn s5 titanium……its quadcore….only compromise in screen resolution….but priced at 11500……
what do u guys say?
Never buy karbonn product it processor performs like dual core.
Akash not even dual core it quad core A5 so it’s not as new as it should be the latest is A15 so a quad cor A7 will be better try xolo Q800 11500 only today on home shop 18
I want to make another point here I have never used Samsung brand usually
I used spice brand almost for 5 years now I am using mmx a110 for last 5 months absolutely
No problem with phone I am enjoying .u will be
surprised so far I have never visited any service centre
and I have never lost my mobile for last 10 years .It is most imp how u use your mobile phone not the brand
Guy before canvas 2 now canvas HD going to black marketing company is supporting them very much . What else you can expect from local cheap brand. After out of stock they also started ad on TV just after stock is finished. I didn’t understand the standard on the company. Anyway 16k is very bad and even in 16k you wouldn’t get it as it out of them better for wait for some other brand. If you going to pay 16k them you can go for top brand for this rang that’s what I think. Like I was waiting for umi x2 or canvas HD but price hike will removed canvas HD from my list.
I booked my canvas for 13490 then they told me to wait 10days i cancelled they have increased price 20% as its 16k now I don’t think its worth waiting for UMI xs else will go for wammy passion once they started giving flap cover with it or drop d price 😀
As I saw it on saholic.com price is rs 14499 worth buying
almost 6000 diff Samsung grand is it worth buying grand at
20000 bugs think guys
GUys…THis is lot better and VFM than A116 at 16k…..Q800 available at 10,445…Hurryy…HS18 superdeal for 24 hrs..
Clearly micromax is roasting the hype for “quadcore”. Mediatek 6589 quadcore chip is cheaper than it’s dual core 6577 counterpart (stated by mediatek) hence micromax canvas hd should have been priced much less but not. I think xolo q800 has been adeqately priced & should be the choice of people over canvas hd (if they can find one in stock).
Hype hype and hype. Only style without substance. First they were unable to meet demands and now the insane and constant hike in prices. With brands like Nokia pricing there WP 8 devices so cheaply there is no way these Indo Chinese companies can survive for long. Its just the matter of time, you cannot keep making people fool just by showing specs, at the end of the day its the hardware quality that matters and these Chinese phones are far behind their ‘Branded’ counterparts.
what about service centers in india for wammy titan 2 and UMI x2 ?
After price hike, People can now make up their mind so easily which one to choose between Q800 and Canvas HD. Earlier there was a little price difference 🙂
People will buy it at 16k if they like to live with the fear of their handsets stop working anytime and no service centres 🙂 Once they launch new device they forget the previous model and no future support.
Wtf! I recently suggested my frnd to buy this budget fon..but now its no more budget fon.,and the brand is not so gud…so he should go to lumia 620..will this better Gogi sir?? Reply plz
micromax doesn’t care about image . they are not doing business for class they are doing for mass . spend some more & go for class brand like samsung & nokia
guys i want to share something about micromax service centre.I have heard people complaining about poor quality of service centre but that was not in my case.Actually my display was broken as it fell from my pocket.So i decided to get it repaired from service centre(i was little reluctant to give as people were saying that they kept phone 15-20 days but at the end i gave them).For my surprise i got it repaired in three days.So atleast in haryana they are providing very good services 🙂
Just forgot about telling my phone name.I have canvas 2 black
same with me also. I had a problem with my A100. The screen was flickering. I went to my nearest service center. It was a surprise for me that they didnt kept my mobile with them. they told me that my case is regd and display will be arrived with in 15 days. but on the 5th day I got a msg frm mmx that my display arrived and I got it repaired in one hour.
From my experience, Replacing a display of doesn’t require any technical knowledge. Just unplug the old one from the connector and plug in the new one. I myself solve such little problems 🙂 But they may take more days if chip level servicing is required 🙂
Gogi! I know you are busy? Please check this and reply. I truly need your suggestion and advise.
Is this worth for the price they say and when it is being launched in india?
Please, please reply
It is good but you should also look for after sales.
HEY GOGI,
would Karbonn S5 Titanium will be a better choice at 11.2k
would it be powerful than mmx A110
regards,
zeus
better to OPT xolo q800 or Titan 2
i dont heard that any reputed brand like samsung or nokia doing this kind of business.if your supplying capacity is very low then why are you giving ad for 116 . this is differnce between international brand and indian (local) brand.
If people spend 16k for canvas hd…. Then they should have to spend on.. Big brands I know Specifications are not like canvas hd… But price of 16k does matter. Big brands…. 1st. Service centers 2nd.after sale and the 3rd most important one… Brand name… 14k to 16k.. Ye to kuch jyada hi ho gya ab to…
Better to go for big brands in this price range…. Because what is the value of 16k in India.
Mmx is known for value for money, but this time…. Price is too much high… And at this time, mmx not a big brand…. Its a competitor brand.
hey gogi.. i want to sell my CANVAS HD. I used it just for 2 months only. I have bought Samsung Galaxy S3 just for Rs.22500/-. So, Can you please guide me for which price I may sell??
MMX Canvas HD is a mediocre device just dont understand why there is so much hype around it. For 16k one should just buy other reliable brands rather than Micromax.
Actually even cheaper 18.59k on homeshop18

so will you please help me in this regard…
An early reply is awaited
gogiji please reply….
Does benchmarks really make any difference. Like – benchmarks on canvas hd are greater then galaxy grand but performance wise grand is better.
gogi bhai…as per ur advice i went for Xolo Q800..It’s also sold out online and retail stores… bad for me..:(
Hi gogi please review wynncom g58.
Who is saying Micromax A116 at Rs. 16000.
Yesterday i bought for 14,499.(White)
I purchsed on credit card 3 months EMI for that 399 Extra.
But Phone’s cost is 14,499/
I have bill.
Address – Reliance Digital Store, Magnet Mall 2nd flooer, Bhandup, Mumbai.
Waiting is the best game to play…! Aftrall the mess im seeing (Umi X2 nw Mmx) i think i’ll wait, let all the 42 Chinese vendor come to India, den the game will be interesting.. I know it will take around 6-8months more,bt it is better..
P.S- Still im luving my Nokia 7210 Supernova over all dis lust..:D
Micromax Should Learn From Samsung! As A116 Is not available In Market! Now The Demand for Samsung Grand Gone High But Still People has no Complain that they having Problem! Getting The Phone! OOps!! i forget Micromax is Chinese Company and all depend on China For Phone Set!
Hi gogi
There’s a price increase as there is no other option for the customers to have a HD resolution phone in this price range keeping in mind that not everyone goes for non branded phones like wammy titan 2 .
But I feel the increase in price from 14.5 to 16k now is by the sellers due to low stock and not by the micromax
Good to hear that, MMX has gained a lot of popularity becoz of Canvas series, now its somebody else’s turn, As per my understanding Xolo Q800 should be the 1, However MTK 6589 in A1000, will be the best combination.
just waste of money …..mmx s**ks …
Looking at the reviews available on web, Gionee Dream D1 seems far better option than MMX A116. It is listed ~15.5 K and comes with More ROM, Gorilla Glass, Free 16 GB Card, Scratch guard and 2 covers.
Better to buy LG L7 II for 14,500.00, I am sure it will much better then A116
.
yes gogi complety agree with u.there r number of handset coming in month or so like zopo and umi x2 or else one can also go for galaxy grand looking samsung trust .please dont spend your hard earn money for mmx a116
I always have soft corner for MMX for its price and Quality provide. The spec by MMX A16 is better then most of the Quad core handset available in market with almost same price. But other option what we are discussing is still in same range (eg D1 come for approx 15K )
16k is very high still A16 is still best in the cat
What u say guys
Ginoee D1 is best option, anyway the OEM for our Mmx a90 is Gionee , so go for Gionee, also they got a lot of service centers.
gionee dream d1 has 9sensors micromax a116 has 3 no compass on quad core and price increase bad for micromax and buyers
WTH!! You talking about that smartphone that has no service center and too costly then A116 and have a competition direct with Samsung Grand! then all will buy Samsung Grand in that Price. No matter how cool feature dream D1 have!
Can we transfer apps to external card in gionee d1
Really? what are the 9 sensors ? I own a D1 too and i dont think it has 9 sensors .. unless ur including the Gyro’s into the count
Canvas HD also dont have compass and magnetic sensor……….
Dream d1 much better mobile with 9sensors, 16GB Memory Card, Screen Gaurd, Amoled HD Screen & extra battery backup @15500/-
Gogi Sir, UMI staff say that they have dispatched the model to Mumbai today.. and you should get it by Monday..
I wish thats true :/
Hi Mr. Gogi,
Is there any news on UMi X2…???
What about review unit you was supposed to get??
They said will dispatch on Saturday, am waiting for the tracking code only then can I confirm if its sent or not.
Any news today Mr. Gogi?
I don’t understand why UMi people are misleading us by providing wrong info every time…
Did you receive any info yet?
The Find 5 checks all the right boxes, there is a Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, 13 mega-pixel Sony Exmor Pro rear camera and a 5-inch 1080 display! It’s been getting rave reviews all over the worlds, with some reviewers claiming it’s the best built smarphone they have ever set hands on!
Gogi! Please, please try to get this for review man! Seems exciting, but price point is high
Not available in India unless you buy from foreign sites and pay additional duty.. Already the price is equal to the unlocked iphone5 . getting this in india will make it only costlier to the iPhone 5.. Nice hardware .. but definitely not for the indian market 🙂
I don’t know if anyone still cares about this phone or not but one thing for sure, MMX sucks big this time now. It’s fifth time in a row now that they have failed to come up with all the demand. I don’t know how the company is running by selling phones in thousand count. Even Xolo is so much better. The models are easily available at least and could compete with anything of MMX . 16K is way too much. Those who want yo buy will buy but many others will move on.
Dear Gogi price is still same 14999 and not 15999 its the flipkart who is selling it at 15999 aas it is not available anywhere else and i just came to know from one of my friend that the price in the store is 15000 in bhopal and its available there and as if they get the proper supply of the product it will be sold at 14600-15000
Madhur, yes true, infibeam was selling at 14,499 but that is out of stock, after that Flipkart showed up with 15,999 price. Now lets see if the new stock that infibeam or other online sites get will same priced or increased.
buddy just wait for 1-2 days more my frind bought A110 today at 10200 and seller have emple of stock i think mmx have enough stock to fill the market the as my uncle is distributor he told me now stock is available
that black selling days will get and for sellng you have to price competent
i booked the same from infbeam on 29th March wth price of 14499. it was stated that product would be shipped on 1st and delivered on 3rd. still its not yet shipped.
i assume it should not an Aprillfool Prank 🙂
Gogi! Please check this and reply. I truly need your suggestion and advise.
Is this worth for the price they say and when it is being launched in india?
Please, please reply
Looks good but not sure of after sales.
Personally i belive for now Wammy Titan 2 is the best purchase as they are giving some free accessories along with the model @13,999.
I have around 15k budget and i am waiting for UMI review then i wil make a decision between Titan 2 and UMI X2.
I have also seen promt reply from guys at wickeleaks over here and email also and the Home pickup warranty service is also a novely in India so kudos to the wickeleaks guys for that. I just wish that they upgrade the resolution of Titan 2 to 720p, am willing to pay 15 to 16k for that something like Titan 2+ or Titan 2 HD.
MMX Canvas HD available for 14,499 on Saholic last time i checked.
Anas, yes 14,499 on infibeam too but I guess both out of stock. When they get new stock lets see if they too increase the price of keep it the same.
Anas,
If 15K budget is the concern then you can opt for xolo Q800 or the Wammy Titan II . I would say, Go for Q800…
There’s also the Wammy passion ( though at 15.5 ) which gives u JB 4.2 as a perk with additional battery which the canvas does not offer ..
Dream D1 also is a purchase at 15K if you bargain at the retail outlet .
Still will go for micromax i love there phone who want to trust Chinese company still dont have service centers n India.
Definitely it’s costly. People would go for samsung galaxy grand by paying some extra thousands.
Youth is going dumb.. They are just following the ads and have zero idea about the cost of the material used in developing the gadget… They were buying galaxy s duos at 17K and another day it was just 12k… This clearly explains that material cost is not more thn 10k.. and they wr selling it at 17k..
Anyways, let the people enjoy…
There are many alternative as said by you Gogi, 16000 is really too much ..even Gionee Dream 1 will be make a gud deal at 15500…i think mmx is just going insane
Rahul, yes Gionee Dream D1 is another option if user are planning to spend that much.
Gionee dream d1 is rs 15000 on adexmart.com
Bad for MMX. This will bring their reputation down. What do you say Gogi?
Well not really but the hype for A116 will drop and it does not matter actually for them, you see when supply is less and demand is more there will be a price increased. Now it just depends who will buy?
I don’t think it is worth; you can spend 4k more and buy Samsung Grand; better camera; better UI; better build quality, better GPS performance (with glonass) and excellent brand value and resale value
Spot on, agree better to go for Grand as price difference has reduced now. I also heard Samsung was offering the grand for approx Rs. 19,300 for corporate offices.
So better go for grand for about 19500/-
Yes but the price of 19,300 is via corporate discount and not sure if its still valid. ICICI bank staffs got that offer recently, you will need to check if its available for other corporate offices. And you need to be an employee.
Last time I checked Grand was for 18.7k(desidime.com coupons) .. Anyone getting Canvas HD for 16k would be a fool.
I bet, the day MMX will bring in market something like Grand in 17k rate.. the Grand itself will come down to 17k…just like samsung s duos..
well i may agree on better camera; better UI; better build quality but not on GPS performance. For your info: actually in my office our team tested mobile tracking application developed by our team and tested in both micromax canvas and samsung galaxy s2. Result of testing was much more accuracy in micromax than samsung galaxy s2!! just brand name doesn’t mean everything is okay.
I’m currently using a Newman N2, which I bought straight from china. It’s seriously better than a Samsung Galaxy S3. Also, the UMI X2 will pwn Micromax A116.
Nothing more than to agree on each and every word in this article.
