To start with the, phone was emerged as a winner during its launch approximately 2.5 years back.
But the Samsung failed to Pack in great hardware and hence the price bracket of 21k was a hefty sum to pay for a phone when competitively higher end hardware phones came into picture. Not to forget the Phone did impress the customers, just like me in the past. The story was like this:
I found that this thing is the lowest priced samsung device which can run all android version flawlessly. Its the in-built touchwiz and worthless apps that makes it hang and drains battery. Otherwise its better than any latest mid ranged devices available in the market. I flashed the ROM and upgraded it to android 4.4.2 with custom Rom after one month and then it met my expectations within a much less budget. Again after one year I upgraded it to android 5.1 and friends trust me it was much more stable. Its was still blazing fast with Android 5.1 and ran all apps and games. With the android 5.1 lollipop version I could move apps to memory card so internal storage was no more a headache for me. Just the shortage of RAM/ROM and the processor performance made me switch to a new phone.
However I bought a Xiaomi Redmi Prime 2 later on and using it till date. You can read about it here
