Bringing yet another first for today’s discerning Indian consumer, Micromax Informatics Ltd., world’s 10th largest mobile phone vendor, today announced the launch of its latest flagship smartphone– the Canvas Sliver 5. With a thickness of 5.1mm (end to end) and weighing a mere 97 grams, the Canvas Sliver 5 is the world’s slimmest and lightest 4G smartphone.
Crafted exquisitely in a distinct metallic frame which is made from aircraft grade aluminum, the smartphone is a perfect confluence of design and substance. Each element of the device is meticulously designed and adorned to make it the slimmest smartphone and a stunning looking device. Powered with Dirac HD sound and NXP Smart Power Amplifier, music aficionados can enjoy louder sound, deeper bass and room-filling deep sound.
The company also recreated the Hugh Jackman aura with the announcement of their next television commercial. The association comes as an extension of Micromax’s partnership with the Hollywood star for the Canvas Series, taking ahead the promise of ‘Nothing like Anything’ experiences.
Commenting on the launch, Mr. Vineet Taneja, CEO, Micromax Informatics Pvt. Ltd. said, “At Micromax, we have been consistently working on the design language of our devices to align them with the evolving needs of new-age consumers, and addressing them before anyone else in the eco-system. The Canvas Sliver 5 is a testimony to this vision, bringing together the elements of unmatched design, style and performance in one device as a result of diligent efforts of our R&D team to find the perfect balance. Our association with Hugh Jackman for the smartphone truly embodies the aspirational and fearless persona of the brand Micromax.”
He also added, “We are also strengthening our promise of offering great service to millions of Micromax consumers across the country. With Canvas Sliver 5, we are introducing a new challenge for ourselves to build on our commitment for service excellence by offering a 7 day doorstep service policy.”
It is not just about the slim design; performance is also not compromised in the new Canvas Sliver 5. With a 4.8-inch AMOLED HD Screen, the display provides a 16.7 million color depth catching every color in its brilliant and spectacular form. Power packed with a 1.2 Ghz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ Quad Core processor and a 2GB DDR3 RAM, the smartphone ensures efficient multitasking. The smartphone comes with a 16GB ROM to enable the users to store their favorite pictures, videos, documents and more. An evenly placed 8MP AF rear camera with SONY IMX219 sensor, 4P Largan Lens and Blue Glass Filter enables users to shoot high quality images while the 5MP FF front camera incorporates intelligent beauty mode for clicking perfect selfies with great ease.
