Micromax is taking an additional swing at Xiaomi and Realme with its freshly minted spending budget smartphone, the In 1, even as the household-grown brand continues on its comeback journey with all guns blazing. With the In 1, which begins at Rs 9,999, Micromax is promising a “blockbuster” but advertising and marketing mumbo jumbo aside, here’s the phone’s primary USP— “We don’t sell you ads, we don’t sell your data,” reads the solution description in a reviewer’s kit the brand shared with TheSpuzz Online ahead of today’s launch.
“No skin, no Glance, no pre-loads, no bloatware,” Micromax adds.
Micromax In 1 computer software
This is not totally new for Micromax. The In Note 1 and In 1B, launched in November final year, had been also based on pure, unadulterated Android computer software without having any advertisements or undesirable apps (or bloatware). With the In 1, Micromax appears to be leaving no stone unturned to make this aspect be identified even louder and clearer also taking an additional dig at Xiaomi (Redmi), Realme, and even Samsung, brands which have turn out to be notorious for pushing advertisements across the length and breadth of their UI.

Even Nokia and Motorola phones have a tendency to highlight their pure computer software expertise, similarly, but Micromax is probably the only brand to not involve any further very first-party or third-party apps in its phones which includes the In 1. This can be a big turn off for some purchasers who would rather have the flexibility of custom skins that a specific Xiaomi or Realme or Samsung phone brings, but more than the final one year, privacy issues and information safety have turn out to be a hot subject of discussion in India which is exactly where phones like the In 1 turn out to be critical. Regardless, Android getting an “open” platform permits anyone to customize their phone, a thing that holds accurate for the new Micromax phone as effectively.
That stated, it is a tiny disappointing that the In 1 ships with older Android 10 at a time when Xiaomi is shipping the similarly priced (and improved spec-ed) Redmi Note 10 with Android 11. In Micromax’ defense, the brand is promising Android 11 roll-out by May 2021. Micromax also says the In 1 will obtain assured updates for two years as effectively as month-to-month safety packages.

Under the hood, it has a 5,000mAh battery with 18W quickly charging (compliant charger in the box). The design and style and construct top quality stay the identical, which suggests that it has an all-plastic body (with an X-shaped pattern), with rear-mounted fingerprint reader and devoted Google Assistant crucial. Micromax does not mention any sort of protective coating for the screen—though the phone has an oleophobic coating for smudge and fingerprint resistance.
