Micromax A350 "Hero" with Octacore processor, 1080p screen and 16MP camera coming soon?

With the launch of the Intex Aqua it was a matter of time before Micromax Launched its own Octacore Avatar. While the Intex Aqua Octacore boasts of a 6-inch (720x1280 pixels) HD OGS (One-Glass Solution) IPS display, dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) capability, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, MediaTek's MT6592 octa-core chipset clocked at 1.7GHz with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of inbuilt storage, the Micromax Octacore plans to trump the same.

A crazy concept render of the Canvas 5 is clearly too much to expect from the Indian company but then what's there to dream eh? (via concept-phone)

Rumored specs point out a octa-core processor clocked at 1.7GHz, full HD display and 2GB of RAM. Other rumored specs include a 16MP primary camera and 5MP front facing camera. It will be interesting to see if the device dubbed as "Hero" devices will be in the sub 6" category.

A leaked AnTuTu benchmark score of 26886, which incidentally is higher than the Samsung Galaxy S4 (26147) and the HTC One (26556) also points that the device may be closer to reality than so far rumored.

Micromax is expected to price the phone well below 25000INR giving direct competition to the market pioneers Gionee (E7 Mini) and Intex.

With the Introduction of the 1.3 Ghz MT6582 chipset ( Micromax Canvas 2.2) which is showing benchmark results trumping the older and costlier MT6589T chipsets ( Used in Canvas Turbo, Canvas Magnus) and the Octacore MT6592 chipset it will be an exciting year for Micromax and other smartphone manufacturers as well. Getting a Quad Core with 8MP camera and 1GB of RAM well under 10000INR should easily be a reality in 2014.
