Micromax to launch near bezel-free smartphone on August 22

Micromax is the latest smartphone maker to join the bezel-less design craze. The company has scheduled an event on August 22 to launch its latest smartphone with minimal bezels and more screen space.

Smartphones with bezel-less design are growing in popularity. Companies like Samsung, LG, Andy Rubin's Essential, Xiaomi and Chinese device maker have come out with such smartphones. Just few days ago LG launched the Q6 with minimal bezels in India priced competitively at just Rs. 14,999, allowing users to experience the trending design at a budget.

Micromax's new phone will be part of the company's new Infinity series, and the invite show the device with a curved glass on the front, along with curved edges. The top bezel houses the front camera and ear piece. There's nothing placed in the bottom bezels, so the fingerprint scanner will most likely be rear-mounted. Overall the front design looks similar to LG's G6.

According to reports, Micromax's upcoming bezel-free smartphone will have 5.7-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio, instead of the regular 16:9 ratio and utilize Qualcomm's Snapdragon chip.

Micromax, once the top player in the country,  has been struggling in the smartphone market for the past few years, due to strong competition from China brand especially Xiaomi, who fill four position, in the top five smartphone vendor list in the country. A phone with bezel-free design, Qualcomm chip and aggressive pricing, could help Micromax to make some impact, and make a come-back in the mid-range segment.

Besides, the bezel-less Infinity series phone, Micromax is also gearing up to launch a new member of the Evok line up, dubbed Evok Dual Note, and it will have dual-cameras.
