Commenting on the launch, Rahul Sharma, Co-Founder, Micromax Informatics said, “Canvas2 was the first smartphone that we launched in our Canvas range of smartphones back in 2012, which reinvented the way consumers looked at their smartphone as it led to the democratization of technology in India. Over the last few months, as the Indian handset and telecom industry has undergone dynamic shift, the focus of consumers is shifting from just the hardware, to overall connected experience. Therefore, to address the consumer needs, we are happy to partner with Airtel to offer a full year of unlimited calls and 4G data with the new Canvas2, which will help drive large scale adoption throughout the country. Our partnership with Corning has also helped us make Canvas2, the first smartphone to offer Corning® Gorilla® Glass 5 in its price segment. We expect Canvas 2 to yet again set a bench mark and revolutionize the overall smartphone adoption.”
John Bayne, Vice President and General Manager, Corning Gorilla Glass, added, “We are pleased to work with Micromax to bring the superior drop performance of Corning Gorilla® Glass 5 to their mid-segment customers. According to our polling, as many as 85% of Indian mobile phone users drop their device at least once a year* and the fear of damaging their device when they do rates as high as 65%. Corning Gorilla Glass 5, our best cover glass yet, improves drop performance far outperforming competitive glass designs. We’re thrilled that Micromax is the first Indian device company to incorporate our most advanced Gorilla Glass into its flagship Canvas device to give its mid-segment customers an unrivalled performance.”
