Micromax will make a comeback on Nov. 3 in India to rival Chinese brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, and Realme. The brand is expected to announce two phones named Micromax In 1 and In 1A at 12PM on the said date. Ahead of the launch, Micromax released a tweet to showcase the rear design of its upcoming In-series phones.

As can be seen in the tweet, the upcoming Micromax phones will be sporting an attractive “X” shaped pattern on the rear. The glossy back panel can be seen flaunting a gradient finish. The rear appearance of the phone bears an uncanny resemblance to the Honor 9X from last year.

The “In” branding can be seen towards the bottom of the upcoming In-series phones. Take a look at the Honor 9X’s Emerald Green edition to see how closely the new In-series smartphones resemble it.
