HTC stop fooling Indians..

06 Apr 2014 By Rohan Tyagi On flipkart.com

This same phone launched in China,Europe and Americas with 1gb ram and in India they launched it with 512 mb ram and even higher price. Should be around 8k.

Warranty

04 Jun 2015 By Manoj On flipkart.com

HTC service center is not providing 1 year warranty. Be careful before buying. After purchase flipkart is not refunding the amount
