Earlier today, we witnessed the launch of Micromax’s latest smartphone “Canvas Infinity” that features a Full Vision display, something which is currently limited to premium flagships and was recently seen in LG Q6, LG’s mid-range offering. The USP of the Micromax Canvas Infinity is the 18:9 Infinity display surrounded by minimal bezels, similar to the likes of Samsung Galaxy S8 and LG G6. Another highlight is the 16MP front camera with real-time bokeh and soft selfie flash. Sporting an 83% screen-to-body ratio, the phone offers a larger and wider screen in a compact form-factor.
