The specifications are very similar to Micromax Canvas Win A092 which was launched earlier this year, but never managed to hit the retail shelves. The hardware sounds good enough to draw decent performance from resource efficient Windows Phone OS. Those open to Windows Platform and looking for a budget device, can consider Celkon Win 400. For basic users, performance is likely to be better than Android phones at same prices.

Celkon has also partnered with Google for Android One project and the first Celkon Android One phone, reportedly with Qualcomm chipset is expected to arrive in India in January next year.
