It had been a while since Micromax is enjoying an upper hand in terms of smartphone market share in India. It has been even longer since we have seen a recommendable product from Spice mobiles. A new interesting handset from Spice, named Spice Mi-525, has been listed for pre-order on Saholic with a competitive price tag on INR 16,990. The phone will be delivered in 10 business days.
Saholic is owned by the Spice Group itself, so we can trust it for the listing, but still, there has been no official unveiling of the device. According to Saholic, Spice Mi-525 will have these specifications:

As a matter of fact, Mediatek MT6589T is much better in terms of clock speed and a few other points as compared to MT6589 chipset found in Canvas 4 and many other handsets. Also, SGX 544MP GPU is significantly better than SGX 544.

Droidiser Opinion - To go for it or not:
This phone competes directly with the Canvas 4. While Canvas 4 has a few positives in the software features it packs and probably in the Camera section, Spice Mi-525 beats it in almost every other field. Though, it would be interesting to see how a 1080p screen fares with 1 GB of RAM. At INR 17,000, it seems to be the best bet presently in the market and that too from a decent brand (given Indians still don't trust companies like Gionee and iBerry).
