Micromax IN 1 users complain of battery drain & even swelling after update

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.”

So, I just tried checking if it was my unit only or others too, and it looks like I am not the only one. Attaching some screenshots below.

So if you are a Micromax user, please don’t update your phone. (2/2)@Micromax__India @rahulsharma pic.twitter.com/WWCItbONkX

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.

Indian smartphone manufacturer, Micromax, marked its return to the smartphone business last November with the launch of the IN Note 1 and IN 1B.

Entire specs of Micromax IN 1 smartphone leaked ahead of March 19 launch

Balaji S — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 10:19:41 +0000

Yesterday(Mar. 12) Micromax confirmed that it will launch a new IN 1 smartphone in India on March 19. Today, Tushar Mehta(@thetymonbay) of XDA has leaked the entire specs of the device on Twitter and it looks like a watered-down variant of the IN Note 1.

Tushar says that Micromax IN 1 will feature a 6.67-inch FHD+ display with a punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. If you recall, the Micromax IN Note 1 also has a similar-sized display. If the panel is indeed the same, it should have a resolution of 2460×1080 pixels, 21:9 aspect ratio, and 450 nits max brightness.

Micromax IN 1 Specs(Expected)

Under the hood, the Micromax IN 1 is said to have MediaTek’s Helio G80 chipset. On the other hand, the Micromax IN Note 1, which has the Helio G85 chipset, is currently retailing for ₹11,499(4GB RAM) on Flipkart.

The reason for mentioning the RAM for the IN Note 1 is because Tushar says that the Micromax IN 1 will go up to 6GB RAM and 128GB storage option. However, in terms of cameras, the third IN device from the company will omit the ultrawide lens.

It is likely to feature a Triple-camera setup with a 48MP main lens and a pair of 2MP sensors. Upfront, it will have an 8MP selfie shooter. Other features of the upcoming IN 1 include a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging and a rear fingerprint sensor.

From the above details, it is clear that Micromax wants to position the IN 1 between the IN 1b and IN Note 1 devices. However, there is no info on the pricing yet. We are a still week and hence, let’s wait for more info on it in the coming days.

Micromax In 1 India launch date is March 19

Balaji S — Fri, 12 Mar 2021 14:35:49 +0000

Micromax is gearing up to launch another smartphone in India. The device would be called Micromax In 1 and it will launch in India on March 19.

The company has sent out invites regarding the launch and in the poster, it confirms the moniker as “In 1”. The device will debut on March 19 at 12:00 PM IST and the teaser is already live on its website. Micromax made a comeback into the Indian market last year. It launched the budget-friendly IN Note 1 and IN 1b smartphones.

Although the company’s quirky marketing was criticized, it has been emphasizing a lot on its ‘make in India’ ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat'(self-reliant India). To put things into perspective, Rahul Sharma, the founder of Micromax, has said in a recent interview with CNBC TV18 that the company has invested about INR 500 crores for expansion.

Apart from smartphones, Micromax is focussing on a lot of other verticals like smart home products(Smart TV, ACs), feature phones, etc. Coming back, the information regarding the In 1 smartphone is very less right now. However, a report by The Mobile Indian says that it could be focused on budget gaming.

As per the info available from their sources, the report says that the upcoming Micromax phone will feature a MediaTek Helio G95 chipset. This is a slightly boosted version of the Helio G90 and is found on devices like the realme 7 and the upcoming realme 8.

Even though Rahul hinted at the development of a 5G smartphone recently, we feel that Micromax wouldn’t launch one anytime soon. This means the upcoming smartphone could be a 4G-device which goes in line with the above info.

Let’s wait for more leaks to know the position of the third Micromax In smartphone in the Indian market.
