Furthermore, these four upcoming smartphones will be priced under USD 100, which roughly translates to around Rs. 6,650 and will come pre-loaded with Google's Duo, a video calling app.

Micromax co-founder Vikas Jain told, "video calling is perceived to be a very urban phenomenon and niche but at Micromax, we believe that there is a huge potential to massif the service by taking it beyond the tier 1 markets where Micromax has an unmatched edge."
