All About Micromax IN 1B | 2021

A few weeks back, in the wake of the recent conflict with China, Micromax founder Rahul Sharma in a video message, appealed to the citizens of India that it is high time that we must shift away from Chinese goods and promote Indian goods. He announced the arrival of a new series of smartphones from Micromax, named IN series. These handsets will be available on Flipkart and Micromax websites.

Micromax has launched two models in the IN series: in 1b and in note 1. In this post, we will take a look at the features of IN 1b model.

Micromax in 1b

IN 1b is available in two variants: E6523(2GB RAM, 32GB ROM) which costs Rs. 6999 and E7533(4GB RAM, 64GB ROM) which costs Rs.7999

 

RAM and Internal memory storage is the only difference between these two variants. Let's see other features of this model that are common for both variants.

 

Processor: IN 1B comes with a 2.3GHz octa-core MediaTek helio G35 processor based on 12nm technology. The helio G35 processor is somewhere in between Snapdragon 625 and Snapdragon 665 in terms of performance. 

Given the price of these phones, this is a pretty good deal.

RAM: IN 1b comes in two variants. E6523 offers 2GB RAM, which is quite low as per today's standards. However, the E7533 variant offers 4GB RAM, which is impressive at this price.

Storage Memory: Again, there are two different storage offered by the two variants. E6523 provides 32GB ROM for storage, whereas E7533 comes with 64GB ROM as internal memory. Again E7533 variant is above par compared to other phones in this price segment.

The variants offer expandable storage up to 128GB and have provided a dedicated memory slot for microSD cards.

Camera: Both variants provide 13MP + 2MP Dual Rear Camera with LED flash, which is a bit disappointing as most of the manufacturers are offering triple camera at this price segment. 

The secondary camera offers an 8MP shooter, which is at par in this price segment.

 

Connectivity: These phones have dual 4G VoLTE standby networks i.e., both SIMs can use 4G network at the same time. It also offers 3g, Edge, and GPRS connectivity. Other connectivity features are listed below:

Bluetooth: Yes, v5.0

WiFi: Yes

WiFi Hotspot: Yes

USB Tethering: Yes

Infrared: No

USB connectivity: Yes

Audio Jack: 3.5mm

GPS Support: Yes

 

Since infrared is not there, the device cannot be used as a remote controller, unlike in some other handsets.

The display features: Both variants are offering 6.52 inches capacitive touch screen with a 1600x720 pixel HD+IPS display. It offers a pixel density of 269 PPI. A notch is there on the top to accommodate the selfie camera.

 Apart from the above features following are some of the important specifications to look for before buying the phone:

Battery capacity: These handsets offer a 5000mah non-removable battery that is pretty high in terms of capacity, but the processor is of 12nm technology, so battery backup might be average.

Sensors: Fingerprint, Accelerometer, Gyro, Proximity Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor

The fingerprint sensor is mounted on the backside of the phone. 

Overall, the E7533(4GB, 64GB) variant seems to be quite an impressive deal at Rs.7999. It is offering good performance for day-to-day use as well as for moderate gaming with decent battery backup.

That's all for today. In the next post, we shall see the features of IN Note 1 handset. See you in the next post.
