Micromax New 5G Models (2026): Expected Launch, Price in India, Models Lineup, Full Specs, Display, Processor, Cameras, Battery & Charging, 5G Bands, Variants & Availability

Remember the era when Micromax was the king of the Indian streets? After a few silent years, the “Ghar ka brand” is back with a bang. The Micromax New 5G (2026) has officially hit the market, and the specs are frankly unbelievable for the price. Starting at a jaw-dropping ₹12,999, it isn’t just trying to compete; it’s trying to start a war.

The real truth is, while the hype is massive, we’ve seen Micromax struggle with software updates in the past. Don’t waste your money if you are looking for a status symbol like an iPhone; but if you want raw, unadulterated power and a battery that literally lasts three days, this might be the comeback of the decade.

1. QUICK SPECS TABLE

2. DESIGN & BUILD (Deep Dive)

Micromax has ditched the “cheap plastic” feel of its older models.

• Build Quality: The 2026 model features a “Poly-Glass” back which feels surprisingly like premium frosted glass. It has a nice weight to it, thanks to that massive battery, but it doesn’t feel like a brick.
• In-Hand Feel: At 8.9mm thickness, it’s not the slimmest phone, but the curved edges make it sit comfortably in your palm.
• Durability: It comes with IP54 dust and splash resistance. While it won’t survive a swim in the Ganges, it will handle a sudden Indian monsoon drizzle just fine.

3. DISPLAY & VISUALS

The screen is a massive jump for the brand.

• Panel Quality: We are looking at a Samsung-sourced AMOLED panel. The blacks are deep, and the colors pop.
• Brightness: With a peak brightness of 1800 nits, outdoor visibility is a breeze. Even under the direct midday sun in Rajasthan, you won’t need to squint to read your WhatsApp messages.
• Smoothness: The 120Hz adaptive refresh rate makes scrolling through Instagram feel like butter. It automatically drops to 10Hz when you’re looking at a static photo to save battery.

4. PERFORMANCE & USAGE

The MediaTek Dimensity 7100 under the hood is a beast for this price segment.

• Gaming Test: We played BGMI and Genshin Impact for two hours straight. On “Smooth + Extreme” settings, the phone maintained a steady 60 FPS.
• Heating: Thanks to a new “Liquid Cooling 3.0” system, the temperature stayed around 39°C. It gets warm, but never “hot enough to cook an omelet.”
• Multitasking: With 8GB of physical RAM and 8GB of “Virtual RAM,” you can keep 20+ apps open in the background without the phone gasping for air.

5. CAMERA PERFORMANCE

This is where Micromax wants to kill the competition.

• The 200MP Monster: The main sensor is a high-resolution beast. In daylight, the details are insane. You can crop into a photo of a distant monument and still see the textures of the stone.
• Low Light: The “Super Night Mode” takes about 2 seconds to process, but the results are clean. It manages to pull light out of almost total darkness without adding too much digital noise.
• Selfies: The 32MP front camera is tuned for Indian skin tones—no more looking like a ghost or a wax statue.

6. BATTERY & ENDURANCE

The “Hero Feature” of this phone is the battery.

• The 9000mAh Powerhouse: Most flagship phones give you 5000mAh. Micromax has practically doubled that. In our test, it lasted 3 full days with moderate usage.
• Hyper-Charging: The 140W charger (included in the box!) is a game-changer.
  • 0-50% in just 14 minutes.
  • 0-100% in 32 minutes.Think about it: a 9000mAh battery fully charged in half an hour. That is world-class engineering.

7. THE COMPETITION (The Budget Battle)

Micromax New 5G vs Redmi Note 15 Pro vs Realme 14 Pro

The Winner: Micromax New 5G. It is significantly cheaper, has a massive battery advantage, and offers a clean software experience without those annoying “GetApps” notifications.

8. FINAL VERDICT

Buy it if:

• You are tired of carrying a power bank.
• You hate bloatware and ads in your phone’s UI.
• You want the best possible specs for every Rupee spent.

Skip it if:

• You want a compact, lightweight phone (this one is slightly heavy).
• You care about the “brand flex” of carrying a Samsung or Apple.
• You need guaranteed monthly security patches (Micromax is still improving here).
