It is also available in a grey/silver option.
The matte rear curves gently, and coupled with the phone’s 8.5mm thickness, makes this phone feel really good to hold.
Moreover, the weight of 134g is distributed evenly across the entire body.
The gold trim running around the edges is actually plastic but Micromax has given it a metallic coating to add some sheen.
We saw a similar colour scheme in the Micromax canvas gold a300
A 4.7-inch screen is front and centre. Above it, one can find the earpiece, front camera, and ambient light sensor. Micromax has gone with a row of touch-sensitive capacitive buttons for navigation, placed right below the screen. These Lollipop-style buttons have thin outlines and are not backlit, which makes it very difficult to see them properly.
The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge. The tactile feedback of these buttons is average at best. Machine-drilled holes for the speaker grille are on the bottom of the rear. The camera module on the rear juts slightly out of the main body, thereby potentially exposing it to scratches and also causing the phone to wobble slightly when placed on a flat surface. A thick metallic Micromax logo is placed below the camera. The rear cover is removable but it only reveals the SIM card slots and the microSD card slot; the battery is not accessible.
