It comes with expandable storage support via microSD card (up to 32GB). The Canvas A1 sports a 5MP rear camera with LED flash and 2MP front-facing camera. For connectivity, the phone supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, GPRS/ EDGE, 3G. It is powered by a 1700mAh battery. The Canvas A1 AQ4502 is available via eBay for 6,039. Micromax is touting the smartphone as a refresh version with Android One support.
As said above, the AQ4502 is a new version of Micromax's Android One phone. Micromax had launched the phone in partnership with Google. However, the Android One phones didn't take off in India, though it triggered a competition in the sub-7k smartphone segment. The likes of Xiaomi, Motorola and Asus are already targeting the segment. Micromax, already a strong brand in the budget smartphone segment, has launched a few phones such as the Unite 2 and Canvas Spark under Rs. 7,000.
