While, we said in our report that Micromax could name A290 as Unite Anthem, taking hints from the YouTube song which the company released recently for the occasion of Independence Day, however, Micromax contacted to inform us that Unite Anthem will not be the official name of the handset, rather it's just a hashtag given to the newly released song by the company.

Well, this information also turned out to be true, as going by the listing, the smartphone is named as the Canvas Knight Cameo A290. Apart from Snapdeal, the phone is also up for grabs at eBay under Rs. 13,000.
