According to a report by GSM Arena, Micromax has recently announced the Canvas Knight 2 smartphone, which is in the midrange category.
In the report, the device boasts some decent specs that include 5-inch AMOLED display with HD (1280 x 720) resolution, 2GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 615 chipset that offers 64-bit support, and an octa-core CPU.
Other specs include a 13MP primary camera with Sony IMX214 CMOS sensor and 5-element lens, a 5MP front shooter and a microSD card slot.
Rounding up the features list are two microSIM slots that can both support 4G LTE connections, a Cirrus Logic Wolfson Stereo WM8998 dedicated chipset, 2,230mAh of battery and Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
