Micromax is coming back to the Indian smartphone market with the In Note 1 and In 1b smartphones. On reviewing the In Note 1, I found that it offered good specifications but was a little rough around the edges when it comes to the software. As I move on to the new Micromax In 1b, the more affordable of the two new models launched by the Indian smartphone company, I have a couple of questions in mind. Has Micromax cut corners to achieve the aggressive price of the In 1b? Will it offer better value than its sibling? Will we see the same story repeat itself? Let's find out, in my review of the Micromax In 1b.
Micromax In 1b mobile was launched on 3rd November 2020. The phone comes with a 6.52-inch touchscreen display offering a resolution of 720x1600 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9.

Micromax In 1b is based on Android 10 (Go edition) and packs 32GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via microSD card (up to 128GB) with a dedicated slot.
