Micromax Informatics Limited, India announced the launch of the biggest smartphone ever – the Canvas Fantabulet.

The Canvas Fantabulet boasts of a 6.98-inch HD IPS screen with a 1280x720 pixels resolution, along with Dual box speakers with DTS Sound Technology.

This is the biggest smartphone in the market now. With a phone measuring almost 7-inches it falls in the tablet category but the company is bold enough to still call it a smartphone.

We ignited the phablet category with the launch of Canvas range of devices which proved to be extremely popular among the consumers. With the launch of Canvas Fantabulet we are yet again pioneering a new category that will change the way people use smartphones making it their first choice for consumption and productivity needs. The launch comes at the most appropriate time when mobile internet is on the rise and there has been persistent increase in demand for larger screens and video consumption. As pioneers in democratizing technology for the masses, we at Micromax believe the Canvas Fantabulet will be a huge success among big screen lovers and will reinvent the phablet segment.

Micromax claims that the Canvas Fantabulet fits perfectly in your palm and is ideal for single-handed operation.

We highly doubt that claim.

The phone also comes with a 3000mAh battery, but given the size of the thing we were expecting at least a 5000 mAh battery. It runs on Android Lollipop 5.0, has an 8-megapixel Auto Focus rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera for taking selfies.

For a phone like this it needed a powerful processor and loads of RAM, but Micromax has put in a 1.3 Ghz Quad-core processor on it that is backed by 1GB RAM.

The new Canvas Fantabulet is perfectly priced at Rs. 7499, which in a way justifies the cuts thay have made on the specifications of this massive phone.

It will be available in Chrome Gold colour pan India through an e-commerce platform.
