Micromax made a comeback last year, and we were pretty sceptical of how the new In smartphones would be until we got to test one of them. So, last month we got a chance to test out Micromax’s latest offering, In 1, and it’s quite a good phone, but it’s not the best.
“Micromax In 1 comes with average hardware, but the stock android makes up for its not so great hardware. It might lag behind its Chinese counterparts, but it’s not far behind. So if you are out in the market looking for a non-Chinese smartphone, then the Micromax In 1 is an excellent ‘Made in India’ smartphone that offers a cleaner and smoother user experience,” an excerpt from our Micromax In 1 review.
