Purchased this mobile because previously I had a good experience with Micromax (With Micromax Unite 2 A106, until it got stolen).
I bought this phone merely on the basis of its specification (13MP camera, Octacore processor, etc)
A few important points to consider :
1. The battery life is okay when it is fully charged. As soon as it hits 20% it starts to drain out very quickly.
2. The camera quality is okayish. The photographs clicked with this camera look like 5MP rather than 13MP. My mother's Lumia 730 clicks better & clearer photographs even in selfie mode. Camera settings options seem primitive. If you plan to buy it on basis of its cam, then please dont.
3. For some unfortunate reason, my date and time are again and again reset to a certain time in future, due to which I have missed plenty of morning alarms, reminders as well as notifications.
4. The user interface is actually a MIUI (developed by Xiomi, I think). I did not like this interface. There is no separate apps tray, everything stays on home screen. although you can group them.
5. There is NO update to Lollipop (Android 5.0)
6. Get real, its a budget phone. Its not meant for heavy gaming (heats up). (Temple Run, Candy Crush run okay, dont know about others)
7. It also heats up while charging and after using 3g internet for about 2hrs or wifi. Do not use it while charging.
8. It consists of some pre-installed apps like doctor security. The phone does not allow you to uninstall or disable them and the app keeps asking you to update it. If you try to update, it says "Please uninstall the previous version & then try again". Its an infinite loop. Had to use an external app to uninstall it.
9. Ample space, you can use a huge amount of apps.
10. Getting the provided specifications in the given budget is an asset, although some of the provided features are only on papers.
11. Good Appearance
12. The box contains a screen guard too. Quality of earphones is 'micromax'. Just average plugs.
It is an average budget phone with good built quality and average performance. Its not great, but not bad either.
