Micromax Canvas Spark was an instant hit due to its Rs. 4999 price point, good build, decent cameras and overall for being great value for money. The company is trying to do the same with the Canvas Spark 2, but spec-wise its inferior to the Canvas Spark in almost every way but you will get it at a lower Rs. 3999 price point. There is support for regional languages here as well.
Micromax Canvas Spark vs Canvas Spark 2
Which brings us to the specs of the new Canvas Spark 2. We have a larger 5-inch display here with a lower FWVGA (480x854 pixels) resolution down from qHD (540x960 Pixels) on the original Canvas Spark.

Micromax is touting the Canvas Spark 2 as the most affordable 3G smartphone in India with a 5-inch display, which might be true.

Its not disruption as much as is cannibalizing and diluting your own brand profile. Nevertheless, you can't blame Micromax for something which even Samsung hasn't learned yet.
If you are interested in the Canvas Spark 2, it will be available from September 30th on Snapdeal exclusively and registrations for the flash sale start at 10 AM on September 23rd. It comes in black color only.
