Micromax is back in the news this week with a brand new handset bound for consumers in India. The Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition is the device on display, and while it is another variant, it does have a bit of style.

We love a good variant as much as anyone, but only when it brings something new to the table or gives a handset a nice price cut. The original Micromax Canvas 5 touched down last year, and as you might suspect from the “Lite” moniker, the new model is going to be dumbed down in a few areas. That said, the company is freshening up the design to make up for those shortcomings as the Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition will come with a back plate featuring a slick Walnut wood finish.

Despite the Lite tag, the Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition will have 3GB of RAM under the hood to go along with a 1GHz quad-core chip. The internal storage is listed at 16GB and the display clocks in at a cool 5-inches with a resolution of 1,280 x 720. Aside from the chip, the innards are quite solid and even with the 1GHz processor, it will certainly get the job done.

On the rear of the Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition, you will find an 8MP sensor with an LED flash, while the front-facing camera is listed at 5MP. Connectivity options include a microSD card slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 4G LTE, and Dual SIM slots. The Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition is listed as running the somewhat outdated Android 5.0 and will draw its juice from a 2,000mAh battery.

At this time, there has been no word on the Micromax Canvas 5 Lite Special Edition price as it’s shown up without one on the company’s official website

. You can expect that to change in the very near future as most of the company’s handsets get a formal release or price soon after showing up online.
