Micromax Canvas WIN: First ever Indian Windows phone

Where Android is ruling the market and made Blackberry almost disappear from the market, there Windows has bought Nokia and increased its sustainability in the market.
In the Samsung and iPhone dominated mobile phone market several Indian manufacturers like Xolo, Karbonn and Micromax has made their special position by targeting the lower market segment.

Of course Android is popular but to maintain the sustainability, mobile phone manufacturers must use other available OS like Tizen OS, or Firefox OS or Windows OS.
Firefox OS or Tizen OS may not be reliable at this moment but Windows OS has already made it's position in the market.

By keeping these things in mind, Micromax has forwarded such a step to keep itself ahead in this market in all dimensions by announcing it's first ever Windows phone.

I am an embedded software engineer by profession and an advanced Android user who knows a little more than many out there. I work on creating and promoting GCam APK which is a modified APK done to get several extra features on the stock app in Android. Basically this is done using reverse engineering the original app file. I work on publishing about GCam APK Port, custom ROMs and some Linux how-to guides. I use this YouTube Blue APK and the NewPipe APK as a daily Youtube apps.
