“We go hands on with Micromax’s latest budget offering — the Infinity N12”
Back in the day, buyers looking for a budget Android smartphone could simply head over to a Spice Mobile store and choose from a plethora of offerings from Micromax. However, over the years, the brand has lost its charm owing to the influx of Chinese smartphone manufacturers in India. In a bid to reclaim its share, the company recently announced the new Infinity N series of smartphones. The first two handsets in the range are N11 and N12, with the latter being a higher-end model. Going by the specs of the N12, it’s clear that the smartphone will lock horns with Xiaomi’s Redmi 6 ( review). While it’s too early to tell which of the two devices will come out on top, read on to know whether Micromax’s offering made a lasting first impression on us or not.
The Micromax Infinity N12 comes packaged in a white cardboard box, upon opening which, buyers will find the phone itself followed by some documentation regarding the warranty, a SIM ejector tool, a power brick and a micro-USB charging cable. The company even bundles a pair of earphones with the device, which is a nice touch.
Design-wise, Micromax has taken a page from OPPO’s books and has styled its N12 smartphone in a gradient finish. Unfortunately, since the handset makes use of a plastic back, the coating doesn’t shimmer when the light falls on it.
