An year ago, Micromax launched their first selfie-focussed smartphone, the Micromax Canvas Selfie with dual 13-megapixel cameras, one at the front and the other at the back. Now, the biggest Indian smartphone brand has launched not one, but two selfie-focussed smartphones in the country, the Micromax Canvas Selfie 2 and the Micromax Canvas Selfie 3.
The Micromax Canvas Selfie 2, which is priced at Rs. 5,999, is an entry-level Android 5.0 Lollipop-based smartphone that has a 5-megapixel camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel camera on the front. Other specifications include a 1.3GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, and 8GB of internal storage space, and a 2,000 mAh battery. Connectivity features include two SIM card slots that are compatible with 3G networks, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0, GPS, and a microUSB v2.0 port.
Canvas Selfie 2 Specifications
- 5-inch IPS LCD display, 854 x 480 pixels, 196 ppi
- Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system
- 1.3GHz quad-core processor and 1GB RAM
- 8GB internal storage and microSD card slot (up to 32GB)
- 5MP primary camera, autofocus, LED flash, 5MP secondary camera
- Dual-SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.0, GPS, and microUSB port

Coming to the slightly higher-priced Micromax Canvas Selfie 3, it obviously comes with improved features, be it a higher resolution 4.8-inch AMOLED display that is protected by Gorilla Glass 3, or higher-resolution 8-megapixel cameras on the front and the rear. Both these cameras are accompanied by LED flash lights for better images even in dimly lit conditions.
