Micromax has just launched the cheapest octa-core smartphone in India with a 13-megapixel camera called the Canvas Xpress 2 for Rs 5,999. The budget smartphone comes across as quite a value for money package as far as the sub Rs 6,000 price range goes. Micromax has been facing a lot of competition in the budget smartphone range but it has been taking the competitors head on by launching a slew of budget devices.
There's a 1.4GHz octa-core processor under the hood coupled with 1GB of RAM. The display is a 5-inch unit with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels.
