Micromax A116 Canvas HD sold out, limited stock to blame

Micromax A116 Canvas HD, the latest smartphone from the Indian manufacturer and the successor of the popular A110 Canvas 2 phablet went on sale last night. As expected, the Micromax A116 smartphone was sold out in less than 30 minutes, according to several of our tipsters, who tried to get a unit.


Micromax has teamed up with snapdeal.com, one of the renowned e-commerce sites in India, for the sales of its A116 smartphone. Unfortunately, the phablet is currently out of stock and the limited stocks are to be blamed. According to one report the company only sold about 2000 units before it changed the sign to out of stock, which is rather low, given the interest the smartphone generates.
Micromax A116 Canvas HD is currently priced at INR13,990 (about $260) and the smartphone will be competing against the likes of Galaxy Grand Duos.

If you want you can still go ahead and book your unit now - it will only be shipped in 21 business days, though.
