Local smartphone manufacturer Micromax earlier stated that the company is yet again pioneering a new category that will change the way people use smartphones. With such promise, the company launched a new budget phone/phablet in the Indian market, aka the Canvas Fantabulet at a price of Rs 7,499.

However, Micromax now wants users to make this device their first choice for consumption and productivity needs. As such the price of the phablet has now been dropped to Rs 5,975.

So at this price what you will be getting from Micromax is the Canvas Fantabulet with a 6.98-inch HD IPS display along with dual box speakers integrated with DTS sound technology.

Further, the device (if you are willing to buy) is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core processor coupled with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory which is expandable by up to 32GB via microSD card.

The dualSIM phablet runs Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-box and it also comes with an 8MP camera on the rear and a 2MP camera on the front. It is backed by a 3,000mAh battery. However, the device does not support 4G LTE connectivity.

While this may be the only shortcoming, there are lots of budget phablets that are out there in the market and some even support 4G. So, the question that now arises is, can Micromax handle the competition?

Without further ado, lets check out some of the close competitors of Micromax Canvas Fantabulet.
