Micromax Splash rumoured dust and waterproof smartphone spotted online

Micromax seems all set to launch a mid-range dustproof and waterproof Android smartphone, called the Micromax Splash, if reports are to be believed.

The rumoured Micromax Splash was leaked in a Twitter post from @MMXNewscaster, which states "Micromax Splash (unconfirmed) First IP67 certified Waterproof (1m for 30 mins) and Dust proof phone."

The alleged Micromax Splash smartphone is not yet confirmed officially by Micromax but is soon assumed to hit the shelves as it is said to have already passed the IP67 certification for dust and water resistance.

Not much is known about the rumoured Micromax Splash's specifications, but we assume the black-coloured handset to pack in some mid-range specifications. The image posted on Twitter also reveal the handset to feature a 5-megapixel rear camera with flash support. Since there is no concrete word from Micromax, one would have to wait till the smartphone gets launched officially.

Micromax had released a waterproof phone before, namely the Micromax X205, which is dual-SIM water resistant feature phone.

Earlier on Monday, we reported that the Micromax Canvas Duet 2 has been listed at a price of Rs. 15,790 with immediate availability at an online retailer. For now, the phone has not been officially announced by Micromax.
