*Micromax A116 Canvas HD*
The Micromax A116 Canvas HD is everywhere. The smartphone is also number 7 on the popularity list on GSMArena. Having sold out their first and second batches within minutes and hours respectively, Micromax is seriously on a roll! It's only been a few days since buyers all over India have started receiving their fresh new Micromax A116 Canvas HD smartphones that a method to gain ROOT access has already been found! Well, in that case why should you stop from rooting your own? Here's how!
If you've forgotten the Canvas HD or can't recall it's specifications, here's a quick reminder.
*Micromax A116 Canvas HD Specifications*
MediaTek MT6589 chipset
1.2 GHz quad-core ARM Cortex A7 CPU
PowerVR SGX544 GPU
1 GB of RAM
5″ HD (1280 x 720 pixels) IPS (16.7 million colors) display
8MP rear camera with LED Flash
1080p video recording @ 30fps
2MP front facing camera
4 GB of internal storage
up to 32 GB expandable memory via microSD card
2,000 mAh battery
Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS
As you can see, the Canvas HD is no slouch and that it's the first budget quad core smartphone gives it some nice hype. For Rs. 13,990 you don't get a sweeter deal. Might I add that the camera unit is capable of 1080p video recording @ 30fps? Amazing for a sub 14k device ain't it?
*Micromax A116 Canvas HD Buy in India*
The Canvas HD is being sold exclusively via online partner SNAPDEAL for a price of Rs. 13,990.
Micromax A116 Canvas HD @ Rs. 13,990 - SNAPDEAL
Presently the smartphone is SOLD OUT (and will probably remain that way for a while, we hope not!). You can buy the phone via the following Payment Methods:
Interest Free EMI
Debit/Credit Card
Netbanking
Those who booked their unit will have it shipped within the next 18 days, although realistically it will happen much sooner than that.

Hey 008 Rohit. I remember you from Nokia S60V5 custom ROM development scene. Welcome aboard.
Well, the chipset is a Mediatek MT 6589 chipset. Micromax is the exclusive device user (no other phone, YET).
The development on Mediatek chipsets isn't bad. We need drivers and sources. But then we'll find out everything in the next 2 weeks.
Also, Micromax will release Android 4.2 Jelly Bean as well. More good news. More development possibilities.

Finally, Micromax has released a new phone featuring Android Kitkat 4.4.2. It's called the Micromax Unite 2, based on Mediatek MT6582M chipset. Here are more details:
http://m.gsmarena.com/micromax_unite_2_goes_official_with_android_442_kitkat_on_board-news-8592.php
Let's hope the porting begins soon.
Mtk6582 roms cant be ported to mtk6589 just like that
the whole chipset is different uses a different file system.
It seems that mediatek roll out the kitkat update only for MT6582 and the MT6592
