As the nation’s fastest growing handset and communications distributor, Metropolitan’s launch of the Micromax Q3555 also revealed its on-going desire to inject new and affordable technology into the local market.
The device is set to attract consumer attention for durable and resource-heavy smartphones. For starters, the handset is powered by a 1.2Ghz quad-core processor and accompanied by 1GB of RAM. Its 2500 mAH battery, when fully charged, can last up to nine days (based on the network condition) in standby mode. The handset also sets aside 8GB of internal storage that can be expanded to 32GB via microSD card.
The phone is equipped with a five-inch screen, five-megapixel autofocus front camera and five-megapixel flash-enabled rear camera with the facility to zoom and shoot photos through enhanced image processing. The Micromax Q3555 is dual-SIM ready and contains Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity.
“We are pleased to introduce the Micromax Q3555 to the Sri Lankan market,” said Metropolitan Telecom Services Director Sanjeev Ariaratnam. “Micromax is one mobile phone manufacturer to have remained unfettered in the local market while fighting it out with all the overseas brands. The brand, in fact, has seen tremendous growth in Sri Lanka and has a large consumer base now.”

In the past decade, smartphone penetration in Sri Lanka has maintained its lead against other regional markets. As a result, we are experiencing demand for smartphones that offer good functionality at an affordable price. The Micromax Q3555 is one of these devices,” said Metropolitan Telecom Services Brand Manager E. M. Tharindra Niroshan.
