(Is Micromax real or rebranded?) Note about Rebranding:
Rebranding is not new and not wrong because a brand acquires the required licenses for a specific period or till that product is sold and this includes also taking over part of complete features. The problem why they are accused is that the brand has always been talking about innovation towards design. Additionally, months of time invested towards the features that are technically adopted from the source itself.
