Micromax A115 Canvas 3D can be ordered on a deal-making site for Rs 9,999

It is the first 3D smart-phone from an Indian smartphone vendor and there are chances that Micromax’s A115 Canvas 3D may attract some people due to this very feature. So if you were looking forward to such a handset with reasonable specifications, it is available now in the market for Rs 9,999 and you can place the order now.

Leading Indian deal making site and online retailer SnapDeal.com is selling the handset for just around Rs 10000. The 5 inch smart-phone/ phablet will be available with other online retailers too in the days to come.
But aside from 3D and Android Jelly Bean the handset doesn’t come with anything substantially improved over other smart-phones launched in the last few weeks with even lower price tag.

The handset comes following the stupendous success of Micromax’s A116 Canvas HD that is priced around Rs 15000. The demand for Micromax Canvas HD is so high that the company has faced major problems in shipping the handset to ever rising number of people who want to go for it.

For people who want to go for their first handset, this should be a good choice, though it is considerably pricey. The handset with a rather very lengthy name Micromax Canvas 3D A115 comes with a huge body of 5 inch, the same way its Canvas A116, but other specifications are far lower compared to the older handset. The handset Micromax Canvas 3D A115 besides the huge body comes with 1GHz dual-core processor and supports 32GB memory card for. Other specifications include 5 mega pixel rear camera and a secondary VGA front camera for video chatting. When it comes to connectivity, the handset comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB and a rather good battery in the form of 2,000mAh. When it comes to operating system, this 3D handset will run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. This is a good option if you want to go for your first handset. But if you can afford around Rs 5000 more you should go for Micromax Canvas HD.
