On the front is a 6.52-inch display with an HD+ resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio and a drop notch. It has a brightness of 400 nits and a screen-to-body ratio of 89%. On the rear is a 13MP primary camera with a 2MP secondary sensor, as well as a 5MP selfie shooter. Shooting modes include HDR, portraits, beauty mode, live photos and more.
The Micromax In 2b runs off a large 5,000mAH battery and supports 10W fast charging. The adapter and Type-C cable comes included. Other features include expandable storage, stock Android 11, dual VoLTE, Bluetooth 5.0, a physical fingerprint scanner, etc.
