Micromax In 1b to go on sale starting December 10
Indian smartphone brand Micromax, which aborted its much-hyped launch barely hours before it was scheduled on November 26 at noon, is all set to give it another go. This time buyers can lay their hands on the Micromax 1B on December 12 at the same time.
Last time round, Micromax CEO Rahul Sharma took to Twitter to announce that sales had been called off due to "unforeseen circumstances". Of course, media outlets did speculate about the real reasons for the aborted attempt, but the brand itself did not venture to set the record straight.
This time round, we are told that the device will be available on Flipkart as well as Micromax e-store. The Micromax In 1b is the affordable device of the new phones from Micromax.

A few days back, Micromax released a video in which Rahul Sharma, CEO and Sunil Joon, product head of Micromax answered to a few handpicked questions. The key takeaway from the video was Micromax's plans for the upcoming phones in India. Rahul confirmed that the brand is working to bring a 6GB RAM phone in India. Further, he also added a Micromax phone with high refresh rate and Liquid Cooling System will also arrive in the market.
