Micromax In 1 was supposed to go on sale today
Unfortunately, the sale did not go as planned
The company says that this was due to logistical issues
Micromax has just announced that the new Micromax In 1b smartphone will not be available today. The device was supposed to be available from 12:00pm onwards, but due to apparent logistical issues, the company will not be able to follow through. A company spokesperson stated, “We regret to inform you that IN 1b is not going on sale today as planned due to an issue with logistics. Will update you on the new sale date at the earliest.”
Micromax’s Founder and CEO, Rahul Sharma acknowledged the delay and sent out a tweet stating that there was a delay due to “unforeseen circumstances.”
