Micromax has released its latest Android offering, the Andro A70, its third Android phone after the low-cost Andro A60 and the Bling 2. Meant to replace the A60, the Andro A70 has been priced at Rs. 8,999 – the same price the Bling 2 was launched it. We can expect it to be significantly cheaper on the streets. Interestingly, the A70 is a 3G-enabled device (7.2Mbps HSDPA), exceptional at its price.
