Micromax has partnered with Vodafone India to launch Canvas Knight with 2GB of free data for customers not active on a data pack. The pack would be activated in 48 hours on first Vodafone SIM inserted in the Canvas Knight before October 31, 2014. This offer would be extended to a wider portfolio of Micromax devices soon, says the company. Micromax started selling Canvas Knight A350 with Android 4.4 (KitKat) since last month. It is not clear when current Canvas Knight users would get the Kitkat update.
The Canvas Knight has a 5-inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) IPS display, powered by a 2 GHz octa-core processor and runs on Android 4.4 (KitKat). It features a 16-megapixel auto focus rear camera with M8 Largan lens, LED Flash and a 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Check out the Canvas Knight Review.
It is priced at Rs. 19,999 (MOP) and comes in All-Black, White & Gold and Black & Gold colors. It would be available at all leading retail outlets across India.
