Micromax A120 Canvas HD Pro, the successor of the popular A116 Canvas HD is all set to make its way to the big stage. The smartphone will compete against the likes of Samsung Galaxy Note II and the LG Optimus G Pro.

The upcoming A120 Canvas HD Pro will sport a 5.5" full HD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a quad-core Cortex A7 processor, PowerVR Series 5XT GPU and 2 GB of RAM. The main camera will do 13 Megapixel stills and will feature a dual LED flash, while the front-facer will have a 3.2 Megapixel sensor. Internal storage is rather limited at 8 GB, but you can expand it by up to 64 GB via the microSD card slot.

The dual-SIM MicroMax A120 smartphone will run on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and will be powered by a 3,000mAh battery.

The Micromax A120 Canvas HD Pro is rumored to be launched on June 30 and with a price tag of INR20,000 (about $384).

Full HD may very much stretch the hardware of this mobile. But with a pricetag of 20k, i have a feeling MMX is trying to jump too high.

Within 2 months the price will come down to 12 - 13k after that they will launch new canvas series and first defect will be its FULL HD display

MMX will rule on MNCs rather than local one.... MMX doing good job:goodjob: entering in competition with Samsung, Sony, LG, Apple...
but 5.5' screen is quite big, rather they should continue with 5' or less...

won't. what happened with Canvas, Canvas2 & CanvasHD? their price increased as stock depleted.

there are many who consider Micromax of the same level as Nokia/Samsung. they'll sell out 20k for a Micromax. But surely if MMX can sell even 10,000 units they'll easily pocket a sum of around 10 million.

5.5" display? Is it a phone or a tablet? Pretty soon you'll have to use both hands just to hold it to your ear while making a phone call. :|

Would have considered if it was at 12k range. 20k is too much for this POS.

Looks like rebranded import of UMI X2 Chinese phone..

Benchmarks of X2:

Quadrant Benchmark: 3857.
Antutu Benchmark : 11837.
Nenamark2 : 28.0 fps.
Linpack : Single 37, Multi 89.
​

Nenamark struggles obviously..

A friend call'd me in the morning & said,"Hey name some good phones available within 20k...I'll buy one today". So I told her to look at LG L9, NL720, SGSAD & SXL. After an hour she came to my residence & said,"Guess what I bought, CANVAS HD!!!". Errrrrrrr

I do not think 20K price tag will attract anyone. Everyone with this kinda budget will definitely go for better brand value.

I think brand image doesn't get built over a day.One should never underestimate underdog players like MMX. But they got a very bad reputation because of their after sales service, poor built quality of their previous devices. They sure can deliver a premium device some day, but they have to ensure after sales services and build quality before demanding a premium price for that device.

but 5.5' screen is quite big, rather they should continue with 5' or less...

So is micromax canvas a120 pro hd really coming ?
I think mediatek quad core a7 won't be able to handle full hd screen plus expect fast battery drains...still if under 15k could be worth a try ;)

what's up with tat i think majority of phones now will atleast crack if they fell

Buddy, Indian Cell Phone Companies such as Micromax, Karbonn, Lava etc don't have any R&D Dept. like Sony, Samsung, Lg etc. These Indian Brands rebadge Chinese Phones & sell them in India. I'm not against all China made products infact the Xolo Q800 (Rebadged Gionee Phone) is a very good quality device. You said that MMX HD is selling extremely well, that's true because many people in India want more for less. They don't really care about Brand Image or Quality. Ever thought why an iPhone, Samsung S4 or HTC One are so pricey & why some people are even paying such hefty amount? These A Grade Companies has dedicated R&D Centres & they spend millions in development of new models. They never skimp on Quality hence their products last longer & the After Sales Service Support is 10X better then all local mobile companies. Also, these MMX, Lava, Karbonn can never give that confidence & peaceful ownership experience to the user. Ever heard this proverb,"Mehenga Roye Ek Bar Sasta Roye Bar Bar"? BTW a guy in GsmArena commented that "Buy Micromax & help Indian Company grow", but the truth is that indirectly we're feeding those chinese phone makers.

Micromax says 'NO' to Canvas Pro HD

The company puts all rumors to rest; says the device is just a rumor and nothing else.
While talking to the Mobile Indian a Micromax spokesperson confirmed that "the Micromax Canvas Pro HD A120 is just a rumor and the company is not working on any such device."
