Back in March 2021, Micromax had announced a new smartphone in the Indian market. The device was a mid range model called the IN 1, which launched with capable specs. However, a bit over a year since its launch, owners of this smartphone have took to social media to voice some major complaints regarding the device.

Shubham Dutt was the first to break the news on his official Twitter account. In his original tweet, he shared a short message regarding his experience as well as images of the Micromax IN 1 model. He said that the company rolled out an August patch update after a year for the IN 1. However, this update brought about rapid batter draining and a couple of days after, he noticed that the battery had started swelling too.

This got pretty noticeable to the point that the rear panel was bent outward from the middle, prompting him to shut off the device for good. Although, this does not appear to be an isolated event unfortunately. In another tweet, Shubham Dutt searched for others facing the same issues on Twitter and posted screenshots of their grievances as well. This included tweets like “I’m facing fast battery draining issue in my Micromax IN 1 Handset.”

This was followed by other tweets as well that called out the company for rolling out an update more than a 1 year after the smartphone’s release, while the update made the device worse in day to day usage. As of right now, the brand has yet to officially respond to this issue that has affected its customers. But stay tuned for more, as we will be providing updates when additional information is available regarding this matter.
