User Interface & Operating System

Conclusion
Micromax wants to regain its lost customers – new players like Xiaomi and others have hurt Micromax’s marketshare. The Canvas 6 and 6 Pro seem to be a step in this direction, but is it enough? Only time will tell. However, on paper, both the phones still seem to offer nothing of any better value compared to phones like the Redmi Note 3. Micromax will have to do a lot better than this to regain the tech-savvy Indian customers.
