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.

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.
