Quad-core Micromax Canvas Blaze HD now available online for Rs 15,999

Micromax Canvas Blaze HD now available

Micromax, in association with telecom provider MTS, has released yet another budget Android in the Indian market dubbed Canvas Blaze HD EG116. Priced at 15,999, the smartphone is now listed on the company’s official website. However, the official store says, it is out of stock. On the other hand, Flipkart has listed the device and promises to deliver it within 5 working days.


The smartphone sports a 5-inch IPS display with 1280 x 720 pixels of resolution. Under the hood, it comes powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor that clocks at 1.2GHz, coupled with 1GB of RAM. It runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which is bitterly disappointing considering that now we have Android 4.4 KitKat available. Micromax has continued with launch of Jelly Bean-running phones, even though there have been reports about KitKat updates for its phones.


The Blaze HD EG116 gets an 8-megapixel rear snapper and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. The smartphone gets 4GB onboard storage and up to 32GB expandable memory via microSD card slot. The smartphone supports dual SIM (GSM + CDMA) just like its predecessor the Canvas Blaze. The Blaze HD is fuelled by a 2000mAh battery. The company had teamed up with MTS to launch the Canvas Blaze by offering free data for 6 months. However, Miromax hasn’t announced any introductory offer yet.
