Micromax has launched its first dual rear camera smartphone dubbed as Micromax Dual 5. The Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow-based Micromax Dual 5 sports a 5.5-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) Super AMOLED 2.5D curved display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection and a 100 percent NTSC color gamut.
It has a metal unibody Arc design and measures 4.74mm at its thinnest point.
