The native smartphone market is ever evolving and changing. While the market keeps growing, most of that growth could be associated with the number of handset companies that are heading over to the market in recent times.
We already have big names in the market such as Samsung, Sony and Apple that are doing big in the market. However, others like Micromax and Karbonn are also doing well enough. But the market is just opening up and there's still a long way to go.
Two handsets that are currently trying to battle it out in the market are the new Nokia Lumia 530 Dual and the previously released Micromax Unite 2. Both the handsets come in at a time when the business is soaring high.
While Micromax has become one of the top names to have emerged from the native market in recent times, Microsoft's acquisition of Nokia isn't also something very new with the company currently focusing on its Lumia range of devices.
So if we were to leave everyone else out of the picture for the moment, where do you think will these two devices stand in the race? Let's take a closer look at a detailed specs comparison between both.
