Specs wise this phone is a BOMB. Will have to wait for reviews to see if this is worth buying!!!
Makes the redmi note seem overpriced.
Pricing is definitely a Plus and Specs also are good on Papers.
Its spec aree damn good and it might be the best phone ever with best price in the market…… eagerly waitting for it
One of the Best Phone at the Price Range – Agreed
Nice phone but price so more than The feature
slight more.. but compared to competition, its very value for money
Lol @8999 its overprice buy htc 820 from the same specs at RS21000 its real price is 12499 but micromax is giving discount and set is selling on black by blackmarketers by flash sale option upto 12999
Yureka sells for Rs. 8999 in flash sales and yeah even i am aware about the 12,999 pricing. Still, its still cheaper than highly overpriced HTC Desire 820
