Canvas 4 pre-bookings begin, Micromax to reveal price and specs on July 8

Micromax Canvas 4 is now available for pre-bookings on company's website, though the official specs of the phone are nowhere in sight.

Micromax has announced that it will formally launch the Canvas 4 on July 8, when the specifications and other details of the phone, including the price, will be revealed. However, as promised earlier, Micromax is now letting customers interested in getting early access to its forthcoming flagship pre-book the device online for Rs. 5,000.

When the official price of the phone is revealed, users will have seven days to pay the rest of the amount or cancel the pre-booking. In case of a cancellation, Micromax says it will process the refund within 7-10 days. Canvas 4 will start shipping on July 10, and Micromax is promising to deliver your unit within 7 business days thereafter. You can check out the rest of the terms of pre-booking on Micromax's website.

The only thing we know for sure so far is the Micromax Canvas 4 will come with a 13-megapixel camera, since that bit is apparent in the teaser videos that Micromax posted earlier. Another interesting bit that is official, is the "Can life be endless?" line that Micromax is using to tease the Canvas 4. The line obviously seems like a reference to the battery life, and one wonders if one of the highlights of the Canvas 4 will be a big battery.

Micromax will likely need that big battery, give the Canvas 4 is said to sport a full-HD display. We've seen two full-HD budget smartphones launched already in the Indian market, in the form of Wickedleak Wammy Passion Z and the Lemon A4. While the Wammy Passion Z costs Rs. 14,990, the recently launched Lemon A4 carries a price tag of Rs. 17,999.

Given the price of these phones, it is possible for Micromax's next flagship to have a full-HD display and still be priced in the sub-Rs. 20,000 segment, company's preferred playground. For people eagerly awaiting price and full specs of the Canvas 4, July 8 can't come soon enough.
