What's Micromax? I never heard of it.

 

[Pranshul Sood]

yes ofcourse.
You must be in India.
Every windows phone device will Recieve same windows phone update until it is compatible with it. Anyone with any windows phone can take advantage of the preview for developers program. Though your OEM will release the same update publicly after some time.
You can see ever windows phone 8 & 8.1 device can get the same build of the OS

Ok. That's why I never heard of them, since they haven't released anything in the USA yet. It would be nice if they expand the market and release something here.

It's not that high quality. Still it's good for spent bucks..

But it might be a good prepaid no contact phone here also.

3rd party OEMs?? Assuming Nokia to be 1st party, who is second party then ??
Anyway, anyone running a WP 8 & above can get the developer's preview as it is OS oriented, whereas OEMs come into the picture only for adding the supporting firmware.
