Micromax and Cyanogenmod! hmm!!

OnePlus has been banned for shipping devices with CyanogenMod on them despite Micromax having an exclusivity deal with Cyanogen. The complaint was naturally made by Micromax, following which OnePlus has been temporarily banned from selling and importing devices with CyanogenMod in India, although the company can sell its existing stock.

Micromax always launches phones like this. But this one is exceptional!

They have large collection of smartphones with most of them has MediaTek processor (which is cheap). But this one has Snapdragon 615 processor! Excited for that!

Hope this will fire up their sale more!

I would probably get one if it had wireless AC instead of 4G(obviously both would be better but i doubt they could do it at this price point) and a smaller screen(ie under 5 inches)

India only so it will be near impossible to get elsewhere

Wireless N is still a good choice!
