Micromax may be all set to launch its first-ever water-and dust-resistant smartphone.
Twitter user @MMXNewscaster has posted picture and other details of the phone which is likely to be called Splash. While the full specifications of the phone have not been revealed yet, the leaked image hints at the phone sporting a 5MP rear camera along with an LED flash. The rear panel also sports the 'IP67 Certified' label. The phone's volume rocker key appears to be located at the right edge. It's likely that the ports on the phone will be protected by flaps to make it water and dust resistant, similar to Sony's high-end Xperia phones.
Another bit of information that the Twitter user has revealed is that the phone can remain under water for a period of 30 minutes and of maximum depth up to 1metre.
It would be interesting to see how Micromax prices the phone as most ruggedized phones available in the market are priced on the higher side. The recently launched Moto G sports a nano-coating that protects it against minor spills and splashes but it doesn't come with a certification.
