For the uninitiated, there was a time when Micromax devices indeed basked in the glory. But in the recent years, its charm did fade away owing to the number of Chinese manufacturers bringing elite smartphones with affordable price tags.
Well, all set to give them all a run for their money, Micromax is enthusiastic about its Bolt series. So let us here take a look at the series and see how different they are from the rest.
