Micromax A116 Canvas HD goes official with 5" screen, quad CPU

Micromax has announced the latest Canvas series smartphone today and it is called A116 Canvas HD unlike the rumours of Canvas 3. Packing a MediaTek 6589 quad-core processor, it will go on sale starting the first week of next month (i.e. February). Company has revealed that it wants to price A116 Canvas HD under INR 15K, which will surely make it an instant hit.
We thought it was time that we compared Micromax A116 with previous iteration of Canvas smartphones from Micromax.

Micromax A116 is significant improvement over the previous versions, considering that it packs a 720p display, quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. Canvas 1 and Canvas only have 512MB RAM, single and dual core processors respectively and WVGA resolution displays.

While Samsung's Galaxy Ace Duos has already burst onto the scene in India pulling double duty on GSM and CDMA networks, the company today announced its dual-SIM GSM-only cousin will begin shipping in June in Russia, before rolling out to Europe and other regions later. Running Android 2.3 on an 832MHz processor and flashing a 3.5-inch HVGA screen, that dual-SIM capability is the highlight, with Samsung's "Dual SIM always on" feature that forwards calls from the phone number on SIM 2, even if the user is on a call through SIM 1. Bill Bellamy and all others in need of such features can check the press release after the break for a few more details, or the gallery below to get a look from a few more angles of this son of the original Galaxy Ace.
