Competition and Conclusion
The Micromax Canvas A77 Juice is available at a price of Rs 7,999. At this range, the primary rivals that stands strong is the Nokia Lumia 520. The Lumia 520 is certainly a phone worth the price from all the user experience and comes with features of its own to mark its flagship. But the Lumia falls behind particularly in terms of camera since it offers buyers only a rear camera within same price range.
Though the advantages a Lumia enjoys are its brand name, the windows interface, and a few apps of its own.
