Are all Micromax phones rebranded or copied?
The Indian brand ‘Micromax’ which is headquartered in Gurugram is revolving with a statement by customers and competitors that the devices manufactured by this brand either re-branded or beautifully copied. Is this really true? We know Micromax is just managing to survive in this highly competitive market where it was the top brand in India before 2017! This statement has disappointed many Indians and customers.
