@Vilas,

Yes thats right. But Canvas 2 is more popular than Canvas HD. Maybe software integration and price would make a difference in coming days.

They are slowly capturing the smartphone market with great features and affordable price. I would love to own a Micromax A116 Canvas HD smartphone which should probably come at an affordable price of Rs.15000 and booking for the same should start from 14th February'13. The above article on Micromax A116 Canvas HD phone has helped me to understand all relevant details in a convenient manner.

Bhakti Savla,

Thank you once again for your message. Talking about Micromax, yes they are capturing the market slowly and transforming a big competition to Galaxy Series of Samsung. The same type of phone is the 'Galaxy Grand Duos' but look at its price, a whooping Rs. 22,000/-

Now what people will prefer? Even Canvas 2 is giving a tough fight here.
