I bought this product for my mom. Its a cheap phone with very nice specification.


I'll start with specifications first.


> It has a 5" HD screen(720p) with a pixel density of 312ppi.


> It comes packed with 1.6GHz Qualcom Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB RAM.


> The phone has 8GB of internal storage, expandable upto 64GB with microSD card.


> It is a dual-sim phone(3G+3G).


> It has 8mp rear camera(SONY lens and sensors) and 1.6mp front camera.


> Has 2000mAh removable battery.


These were all the specifications of the phone(more or less)


Now I'll come to it's pros and cons


Pros:-


> The screen resolution is quite good at such a rate.


> You get 5.72GB of internal storage space for personal use.


> The rear camera has same sensors that LG Nexus 5 has and shoots pretty decent photos in good lighting conditions. The front camera works pretty well and will give you good selfies when the time comes.


> Very cheap and budget phone at just Rs. 5999.


Cons:-


> Lack of gorilla glass. It is pretty standard when it comes to gorilla glass in a smartphone.


> The phone doesn't has LTE(4G) support.


> The camera works good only in good lighting conditions and outdoor photos in daytime but night photos are not as crisp and clear as Nexus 5(because both of them has same camera module and sensor made by Sony)


> The battery is just 2000mAh which is barely enough. The phone runs out of juice in a matter of few hours(4-5hrs) which is very low looking at the point that it is smartphone with such high specs for the battery it packs.


> Very poor RAM management. Only a few amount of RAM is left for the apps(around 200mb free).


> The phone is very heavy and sometimes you actually feel the weight of it. I personally feel like I can use it as a weight measure at some ration shop.


> Screen to Body ration is very low. The phone has a lot of bezel and borders left to sides which makes the phone bigger in actual size, adding on to weight.


> The touch buttons on the end of phone are very small and does not have a backlight support which makes it harder to use in darker environment and at nights. Also the notification light fails to do its job as its not bright enough.


> Now coming to the main part. HEATING. The phone sometimes gets hot enough that it automatically reboots itself(a safety feature so that it doesn't blast away due to over heating). It was said that updates will rectify this problem but has failed to. I'm currently on MIUI 7 and still the same problem persists.


Overall this is a budget phone but still way better alternatives out there if you are just willing to pay only 1-2K extra.
