The Micromax Canvas Selfie A255 will hit the stores soon for Rs. 15,999.
Yes, I agree with all of u that its a overpriced phone but it looks great and comfortably fits in hand. Yeah feature wise it is behind yureka, lava iris x8 and redmi note 4 g but for me style matters so I like this phone configuration is okay. I can use this for 1 year I usually use any phone for 1 year or 1 and a half year max.
You will be stuck with kitkat for the rest of the life of the phone.
Micromax never gave updates to their phones till today.
Canvas 4, A116 , still on Jelly Bean.
They promise all lies !!!!
Why not Lollipop? Why still Kitkat? Also dunno what did MMX thought when it priced it 16K. This is worth 9K.
Megapixels wont matter. Ugly people will look ugly in 1.6 mp camera as well as 13 mp camera. Should we spend so much for just selfie pics which we will post on fb for few likes?
I love what u said!!! 😛
Truth is spoken!!
But it looks more of a Digicam rather than a Mobile!!
Now it’s available for 14700 ebay.
within 4 months it’s price will be 9999, on Amazon.com
Take image of this comment, For future reference..
Yes, or may be below yureka price (8999).
MMX nice cheating strategy to cheat ignorant buyers! be loyal to ur customers…just becoz of selfie front camera u want ppl to fall for ur trap? nothing worth…stupid 4.7 screen with age old 3g,less sensors,low battery…high price of 16k???…may ur company go on losses!
If mmx added Octacore 64bit MT6752 soc, no mmx logo on back, touch sensitivity buttons like htc or xiomi , a fresh new lollipop UI with 3600mah battery it could hit the Indian market.
Oh sorry i forgot some new sensors.
Not Too Great. Because Now @ 16k phones are Replacing 64 bit octa core from mtk or snapdragon.
And Rear Camera Is Too Big In Size.

Mmx Learn And Rebrand
Jiayu S3
Ulefone Be Pro
kingzone Z1
UMI Zero
etc…
Jiayu s3 looks great…mmx just rebrand and bring it to india which will be of interest to us…
What we need is 5 or 5.5 inch screen with full hd display, atleast 3000 mah battery, Octo core processor ssupporting 4G, Gorilla glass protection and of course running lollipop for price < 15k….if u have these then we will grab it….
Ugliest phone.
Yeah ugly…
No 4G, No full hd display, No NFC, No magnetic sensor then how it compete with other phones ? Then what is present only selfi?
The phone is good with good specs but the design is quite odd and it should be coming with Android 5.0 or should be upgradeable to it.
From back it looks nice, but from front no words to describe it.
Instead of focusing on Cameras mobile manufacturers should give us MORE battery power. The latter is far more important than the former. I do not know what is preventing them from giving us, let’s say, 3000 mAh battery for the same price.
Phone looks ugly from front and 13mp won’t make it a great camera phone. The lens and sensor size is more important.
ये तो देखने मे ही बकवास लग रहा है ओर उपर से इतना मंहगा …..???? अब micromax भी खुद को Samsung समझने लग गया है ????
Selfies are overrated. I don’t understand whats the big deal about these so called selfies.
Even my 1.6mp front camera is sufficient for “Self Portraits”
Girls are quite obsessed with this so call selfies than guys, so all these selfie kind of phones are for them
Agreed..
@Gogi: Sry to say,you’re really late in updating mobile news.
While coming to the Micromax Canvas Selfie A255,it’s nothing but the rebranded Meitu 2.
I really don’t know when Mircomax will stop this rebranding stuffs?
