Decent phone at a great price!

First off , really fast delivery by Flipkart, less than 20 hours. nnWhats in the box?n-Phonen-AC charger(Indian pin), 5v , 2ampn-USB Cable nnNo ear phones with the phone nnnExperience with the phone . nnn-The phone seems pretty good , build quality is okay , not great , not terrible. Its all plastic. The back is a finger print magnet , and the back gets pretty slippery with prolonged use. The phone is a little bulky and little big . But If you are used to phablets its not going to be a problem for you.nn n-The screen is vibrant and really good for the price , you will not notice any pixels unless you put your eye on the screen.The screen does have Gorilla Glass 3(Hugo Barra said so himself in an interview) nnn-The buttons are sturdy,no problems here. nnn- MIUI is okay,I'm not a big fan, but I guess that's my personal choice some others may like it , you can use launchers , or have a pure Google experience with Google Now Launcher , which I'm using. nnn-There were two updates when I started the phone , sadly neither were updates to KitKat , just some minor updates. nnn-I noticed a little lag here and there , first I thought it was MIUI , but even after shifting to Google Launcher I noticed a little lag once in a while , it's not so bad that you wouldn't want to use the phone , it's bearable and happens once in a while(so far)nn n-Did not notice any heating problems, it heats up a little when charging and using at the same time , but all phones are like that. nnn-You can uninstall a lot of the pre-loaded apps if you want to.nn n-I don't really play games , and this phone is for my father who is not going to play games anyways , so I can't comment on the performance. I played subway surfers for a while just for the sake of it , the first time it had a little lag , but the other times I played it , it was fine , no heating either . Don't know about games which are heavier on the processor. nnn-This phone had a better benchmark score than my Nexus 5 on AnTuTu , but don't let that fool you , it is in no way as fluid and snappy as a flagship phone(which cost way way more) . But at the same time it hasn't troubled me so far. nnn- Camera is 13 MP at the back ,5 MP on the front, Those numbers sound great , but i'd say at the very best it's an OKAY camera . Maybe I didn't use them in different lighting or whatever . But its still okay , nothing very impressive as you might expect with numbers like 13 and 5 . At the same time for 9k its good enough I guess , you can't expect more. nnn-Call quality was good , the ear piece and the mic both are good, Signal reception on both SIM slots was good. nnn-Speaker is okay , not the loudest , but it does fine. It's on the back so you will end up covering it when you are using it. nnn-It does have a multi color LED notification light as well . nnnOverall , the phone is really good for the price you are paying, I haven't encountered any problems in whatever short time I've used the phone. nnThe only problem is , Its still on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 , there's no comments on whether it will get an update to KitKat let alone Lollipop from Xiaomi. nnThe random lagging here and there is bearable , not much of a problem . But I hope it doesn't increase over time. nnBuild quality , size and user interface are subjective , some may like it , some may not. nn4 stars , because no KitKat and the lags which happen once in a while. nnI hope this helps you!nWill update if I find any problems. nnnUPDATE: nThe lag was being caused because the CPU Power Saver was turned on in Settings->Battery>Battery Use nI turned it off and there is no lag whatsoever right now. nnP.S Install "Themer" from the play store , the themes look great on this display!

awesome phone

i have got a defective piece and put a replacement request on their website and they delayed the replacement for quite a few days , but at last it got replaced. and now i am using this phone, it's just like premium product for just 9k. it's awesome, everything. the only drawback according to me is it's bulky size. but what u r expecting in 9k. simply awesome hats off

Excellent for the price

Excellent phone (TAB) for the price, and thanks to Flipkart First for delivered less than 18 hours, today i received in the morning 10.45 am, regarding the phone what i observed is, Pros: 1. Excellent screen clarity, 2. OMG its supports OTG cable, and i tried 32gb pendrive, its working fine, 3. Camera is simply superb, 4. Friendly user interface, 5. Very fast charging Cons: 1. the plastic is cheap, but the color is ok 2. no Kitkat, this is a big concern, 3. no Headphone provided by the manufacturer, this is as usual happening 4. little bit big (5.5" screen) i think it will not fit in Jeans, final verdict, value for Money
