Micromax Canvas Turbo blueprint reveals possible specs

Leaked blueprint of Micromax Canvas Turbo A250 sheds light on possible specifications of the forthcoming phone

Micromax recently teased us with its forthcoming smartphone dubbed Canvas Turbo A250. However when it comes to the specifications it has been tight lipped. That hasn't stopped the rumors though which indicate that the device will arrive with a full HD 1080p display.

Now the latest rumor claim to shed some more light on the specs of the Hugh Jackman endorsed phone. It seems that the phone will come with a 13-megapixel rear snapper accompanied with LED flash. The leaked blueprint comes from MMXNewscaster, a Twitter user with a great history of leaking details of Micromax phones.

As per the sketch, the Canvas Turbo is said to feature a 5-inch full HD display with 1920x1080 pixel resolution as mentioned above and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Also, the leaked sketch shows that there is support for dual SIM cards both being micro SIMs on the left panel.

At the top is a micro USB port and at the bottom is a 3.5mm audio jack. The power button and volume rocker seem to be housed on the right panel of the yet to be announced phone.

Though there is no specific launch date of the Micromax Canvas Turbo, the teaser ads on internet show that the handset can be expected soon as the holiday season is approaching.

Micromax Canvas 5 to come in November? Will it run MT6592 octa-core?

 

After the launch of quad-core Canvas HD and Canvas 4 phablets this year, Micromax is already riding on the success of its awesome phones.

While the Canvas HD in January this year went quad-core at an affordable price, the Canvas 4 introduced a metallic profile phone in the low cost phones segment in India. Now the company seems to be in a mood to score a hat-trick in 2013 with a new Canvas phone.

The company might be announcing its next flagship, the Canvas 5 this year in November. The information comes via the regular Micromax leakster  @MMXNewscaster. The leakster on the 29th September tweeted “Micromax planning to launch it's new flagship device in November?”

Though the information comes with a question mark, it is important to remember that most of the time the leaks from this leakster comes to be true later. And hence, we can believe that handset is under production.

The leak does not come as a surprise, as the iPhone 5S and 5C have already been launched, and time for launch of Nexus 5 from Google is expected to launch in October. It will be a perfect time to launch a Canvas 5 for Micromax, eyeing the festive season.

In January this year amidst the rumours of an upcoming Galaxy S4 from Samsung Micromax announced the Canvas HD. Soon after the Galaxy S4 store debut the company came up with a Canvas 4 perfectly in time to compete with its Sammy competitor in mid of this year. Pitching a phone to compete with the Nexus 5 and iPhone 5S and 5C shall not come as a surprise.

MediaTek was working with its octa-core chip during the launch of the Canvas 4. The company’s next generation true octa-core MT6592 chipset recently leaked online. This 8-core chipset has scored over 30000 points on AnTuTu benchmarks, thereby crushing the Snapdragon 800 and, beating out every other chipset such as the Snapdragon 600 and Exynos 5 Octa.

It was expected that an announcement should come around the iPhone 5S/6 launch this year. Though there is no formal announcement yet, the leak comes as a hint to expected launch of a smartphone device.

First smartphone running this processor is expected to come in as early as November, estimates gizchai. We cannot but agree.

Recently Nvidia launched its Tegra 4 processor based stylus based Note with Xolo. India being a good market for mobile devices, (especially low cost mobile devices) it will not be surprising if the octa-core MediaTek chip is found powering the Canvas 5.

After two all-new Canvas phones this year, the company needs another landmark phone for the year to end it with a bang.

What’s expected in Canvas 5

There is almost no information available on the upcoming Canvas 5. We however, do not expect the company to go back to the plastic profile phones for its next flagship this year. The phone should sport an aluminum body (or a metallic mid body). Latest Android and better camera features are also expected in the phone. We can also expect it to be full HD with a 1280 x 1080 pixels display (which was expected in the Canvas 4).

Alternatively we can also expect the Canvas 4 smartphone with this new processor clocked at a speed of at least 2 GHz and a 2 GB RAM as the new Canvas 5 smartphone.

Expected price

The expected price should be within 20K for the Canvas 5.
