In November, Micromax returned to India with the announcement of In note 1 and In 1b. Co-founder Rahul Sharma answered several questions in the second episode of “Let’s Talk INdia” (which you can watch below).
He revealed that an Android 11 update for In Note 1 is in the works and is expected to be released in April. It will first go through a period of early access testing, volunteers will soon be able to register for the Micromax community forum.
As for the Micromax In 1b, an update to the Android 11 GB edition is planned but no deadline has been provided. First, a smaller update will be released with improvements to the camera (including the slow-mo video option), speakers, and a January security patch.
The company’s first 5G smartphone is under development at the Bengaluru R&D center. Another team is working on wireless headphones that will have a unique design. More details on these projects will be revealed later.
The company’s co-founder claimed that Micromax has no interest in making a custom skin for Android (unlike virtually every other Android maker). Plus, Micromax will never put ads on its phones, says the co-founder.
By the way, a smaller update for Note 1 came out last month. It added EIS and RAW modes to the camera, improved portrait mode for the selfie camera, and increased the security patch through January.
