The Micromax Dual 5, therefore, has its phone-y plate full when it comes to expectations and hopes. Not only is it the first flagship level device from Micromax since the Canvas 6 and 6 Pro were launched last year, it also represents the Indian brand’s foray into a segment which it has generally tended to steer clear of – the higher priced smartphone segment. Micromax has gone north of the Rs 20,000 price band (most notably with the first Canvas Knight) in the past, but it is best known for what many call its “value for money” (read “super affordable”) phones, especially around the USD 150 territory....

We can see a camera, very much like the Surface, with its keyboard, whose back is set with a special type of metal part. As in the document, this metal area is called “reflective display” and could be used as a primary or secondary display as needed. It would be positioned on the back of the tablet, almost invisible because covered with a series of layers and special coatings. Polarized filters would avoid reflections and limit light diffusion, and would take up the color of the material (greyish magnesium in the case of Surface) which is shaped the case to hide the screen when it is not in use....

A lot of you prefer Android to iOS because it’s “flexible”. By that I mean you can hack just about every damn thing about your device, and make it your own. Custom ROMs, custom keyboards, camera apps, SMS apps, launchers, lock screens, the list just goes on and on.
