Micromax introduces its first two Windows Phone devices

Published by at

According to the official Windows Phone blog, Micromax introduced its very first Windows Phone devices in India today. The Canvas Win W121 and Canvas Win W092 are the first devices on the platform from an Indian smartphone manufacturer. Some quotes, details and caveats below.

From the blog posting:

W121 Image

The Canvas Win W121 is a 5-inch device with a wonderful looking HD IPS display, an 8 megapixel rear camera (with LED flash), a 2 megapixel front-facing camera, and 8GB of built in storage with up to 32GB of expandable memory for all your photos, music, and videos. It comes powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor with 1GB of memory – so it’s also very powerful. Additionally, the Canvas Win W121 is equipped with proximity, gravity, and light sensors, an accelerometer, Dual-SIM capability, and comes with a leather finish back panel.

The Canvas Win W092 is a 4-inch device with a IPS WVGA display, an 5 megapixel rear camera (with LED flash­), a 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera, and 8GB of built in storage with up to 32GB of expandable memory just like the Canvas Win 121. And just like the Canvas Win W121, the Canvas Win W092 is also powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor and 1GB of memory. It also has Dual-SIM capability as well.

Hmm.... Clearly a mock-up, the W092 even has Android control buttons in the image, so maybe that one's not quite ready yet! Both phones are, obviously, intended to run Windows Phone 8.1 out of the box, evidenced by the (mocked up) 'triple wide' live tile grid.

Apparently, starting in July 2014, the Canvas Win W121 and Canvas Win W092 will be available in retailers across India for at Rs. 9,500/- and Rs. 6,500/- respectively. As usual with Micromax, there's almost zero chance that we'll ever get our hands on their devices in the Western world.
