I used this phone during 9 month.there is no lag since this time.good performance with miui8 7.1.12 n has update marsmalow.the mi cloud has remotely to locked your phone when it los.please trust me.in this budget range.this will be a amazing phone.with more performance than the budget phone.i love this phone.work smoothly.In midrange smartphone, sd 652 is better than 650.Sd801 is old chipset, adreno 330.Both 650 n 652 running 510 adreno gpu. Obviously 801 is not a good choice due to oudated, unless u go for 821 n above.
