Handset maker Micromax Informatics Ltd has launched a new affordable smartphone A50 Ninja.

Priced at Rs 4,999, the A50 that is a part of the company's ‘Superfone' range comes with an Artificial Intelligence Speech Handset Assistant (AISHA) — a voice recognition tool.

The dual-SIM, multi-touch capacitive screen enabled phone from Micromax runs on Android version 2.3.6 (Gingerbread) with a processor speed of 650 MHz.

Using AISHA, users can access several services such as Google search, stock market details and movie reviews, know phone status, make calls and read news of desired locations, among others.

Micromax has also tied up with portals such as Timesjob.com and Simplymarry.com for some of the services on the phone.
