Micromax has been teasing the upcoming device for quite a while now.

Micromax’s invite to its event also continued the theme of fast forwarding life. The invite said, “Don’t pause! Let’s #FastForwardLife”. It also invited people to “come witness the launch of our next Canvas”. A couple of days ago, Micromax has posted an image on its social media accounts saying, “Get ready for a #Fast4WardLife! Coming soon” and the image showed the same hashtag with a special emphasis on ‘4’ alluding to the 4G capabilities of the upcoming device.
