He further said added, ” Majority of the smartphones launched this year will be a bit more on the lower price segment where every Rs 500 and Rs 1000 becomes important.”
The company will also be introducing a new Evok series in the next couple of days, especially meant for the online market. Micromax will be launching two smartphones under this series which will be named as Evok Note and Evok Power. The brand has also entered into a strategic partnership with Flipkart and the devices will be available exclusively on the e-commerce website.
