Amazon's India rival is making a smartphone

[TruthTheOnlyDefense]

"The Indian phone's price point will make it more of a competitor to Chinese brands such as Xiaomi, whose RedMi Note 4 also sells for between $170 and $200.

Flipkart's new device will go on sale next Wednesday, the company said.

Amazon (AMZN, Tech30) introduced the quickly-forgotten Fire Phone three years ago. It was initially priced at $200, but a lackluster reception led Amazon to slash the price to just 99 centsright before Apple (AAPL, Tech30) released the iPhone 6.

Well, at least they are trying. I think Micromax has given up.

Bear in mind that Flipkart is partially owned by Tencent, a Chinese company.

Micromax did not give up, they are reorienting their business.
