According to one of the teasers posted on Twitter, Micromax's next phone will sport an iPhone X-like notch on the front. The notch will also house two cameras. Interestingly enough, the phone will have two cameras on the back as well.

Based on the official teasers, Micromax's next phone will sport an edge-to-edge display, expected to be 19:9 aspect ratio. The volume buttons are placed on the right edge whereas the left edge houses the power/unlock/lock button. The phone appears to have a glass-like or metal unibody finish. As far as the rear camera goes, Micromax's teaser confirms it will be based on Artificial Intelligence (AI).
