Micromax Canvas Spark is expected to re-define the user experience in the sub-Rs 5,000 smartphone arena, and help Micromax take on the competition in a better and well-equipped manner. It competes with Micromax's own Android One smartphone, the Micromax Canvas A1, and other devices like the Xiaomi Redmi 1S and the Asus Zenfone 4 at the price. The specifications seem to be interesting, but we will have to wait till its actual release to comment on its performance and software quality.
