The Micromax Canvas Turbo also comes with a new premium design and the casing is aluminium which makes it look way more nicer than what we have come to expect from the company’s previous offerings such as the Canvas 4. The device is 8.66 mm thin as well. The new flagship from Micromax features a 5-inch Full HD (1920×1080) CGS (Continous Grain Silicon) IPS display, yes even we are curious about the new technology as you are and we would love to know what it brings to the table that makes it better than the normal IPS displays. It features a 1.5 GHz MediaTek MT6589T Quad-Core processor and 2GB RAM as we told you above. There’s Dual-SIM with dual standby feature and now one SIM is the standard SIM while the other SIM slot is a micro SIM one.
