Micromax Canvas Magnus Now Available in India for Rs 14999 ($245/175)

We reported yesterday on the unannounced Micromax Canvas Magnus A116 high-end smartphone and it looks like the device has already been released in India.

As fonearena points out, the Canvas Magnus A117 is now available for purchase in India via Snapdeal retailer for only Rs 14,999 outright, which is about $245 or €175. Keep in mind that only the white version of the smartphone is up for grabs.

Judging by the official specs sheet there isn't anything surprising that we didn't know for the previous leak. The official specs and those that leaked yesterday match perfectly, so here are the main highlights once again.

The smartphone ships with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system out of the box. The Canvas Magnus A117 offers dual-SIM support (GSM / GSM), as well as HSDPA (42Mbps) and Wi-Fi connectivity.

On the inside, the smartphone comes equipped with a 1.5 GHz quad-core processor probably manufactured by MediaTek, which is complemented by 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory.

Obviously, the users will have much less storage at their disposal, but thanks to the fact that Micromax added microSD card slot they will be able to further expand internal memory up to 32GB.

There's also an impressive 12-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features LED flash, autofocus and full HD (1080p) video recording. A secondary 5-megapixel front-faci ng camera for video capture and video calls is included as well.

According to Micromax, the Canvas Magnus A117 measures 144 x 74 x 9 mm. Furthermore, the device sports a large 5-inch IPS capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution.

Other highlight of the Micromax Canvas Magnus A117 include GPS with A-GPS support, Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP support. 3.5mm audio jack and 2000 mAh Li-Ion battery, which has yet to be rated by the manufacturer.
