The company under its ‘Happy New Year Offer’ is also providing Reliance Jio SIM along with the devices, which gives unlimited data, calls and messages til March 2017.

Shubhajit Sen, Chief Marketing Officer, Micromax Informatics, commenting on the launch of the smartphones said, “2016 has seen a marked slowdown in the long term trend of Feature Phones users shifting to smartphones. Two barriers we identified were perceived high cost of data and a lack of a differentiated mass-use case. With the launch of the Vdeo range, we have focused on these issues. We believe Video calling that is as simple as making a voice call, in a stable environment, will be a strong use case, especially in smaller towns. This feature, coupled with free internet connectivity with the pre-bundled Reliance Jio SIM is a compelling proposition that will accelerate the switch from feature phones to smartphones.”
