Tablet, Robot or something else? What Micromax is up to on 18 June

Micromax is launching something big on 18th June, the teasers are floating on social media about new launch. This time it seems to be a different product than Mobile or Tablet. Let's play the guess game till we see the product live at launch event :)

Speculations are that the new product can be a camera or even a Robot, later one is hard to believe but the teasers points to a device with Artificial Intelligence and one is specifically too close to a Robot.

Let's decode the pics shared on social media one by one.

1. #JailBreak: The first in the series is the below pic, with hashtag JailBreak. The first image shows someone prisoned and the message on pic reads "Mystery prisoner found locked in. Can he escape his destiny?" 

As soon as we hear JailBreak now a days gadget freak mind just skips the actual Jail break and thinks it of as unlocked/rooted device. We were wondering if Micromax will also sell devices with Cyanogenmod and root access but the YU brand a subsidiary of Micromax already does it, may be it can be a device with stock android and root access. Subsequent hints leads us to a Robot but this is what I feel , we will be seeing on launch event.

2. Touch and Learn:

Second in the series is below image. Which suggests product to be some sort of device which can be used by kids for learning, which again gives strong reason to believe that it is going to be a Tablet launch. The tag line "We touch, we learn" gives more confidence to the bet. Other point to note is that Micromax is partnering with Flipkart and will be available exclusively at online retail giant.

3. We touch. We learn: 

Third in series also comes with same tag line as above seems like continuation of second but we have something extra here, the image of a robot present on right bottom corner which makes us deviate from traditional tablet/smartphone in Canvas series.

4. The final one:

We were just killing time in making guesstimates of what new device can look like or feel like and then we just saw the image below. The Canvas with a fill in the blanks puzzle , we were excited to know that finally we nailed it, its just a new tablet but wait we can fit 'T' and 'A' before 'B' but we don't have enough blanks to fill the last three alphabets 'LET' moreover , a brand already having a number of tablets in its portfolio is very unlikely to name a new tablet just plain 'Canvas Tablet' . Then we connect the dots with the above image and 'ROBOT' fits it perfectly.

Teaser 4

We are still not convinced that it will be a Robot, but at least for now we think we have hit the ball in right direction. If you are still wondering what it can be , we will advise you to just sit back and relax, follow us on Twitter and Facebook to know more about the product right from the launch event.
