got it for a little less than flipkart from the priority store,thats immateriral.
1)quad power+1GB RAM makes UI smooth and gaming is just fine played asphalt 8 with a little bit of lag in the background music but none in the game.
2)if you know what to expect from a fixed focus camera you'll be more than satisfied.
and i disagree with many who say flash is missing,the phone is actually better in low light than many phones with flash and undoubtedly in daylight too,but remember its a 5MP shooter so comparison should be made with 5MP.
3)apps can be installed to the sd card so a class10 16GB will work just fine with no worries of running out of memory for apps.
4)battery lasts more than a day(32 hours and still 20% remaining.) with watsapp,games browsing,calling and music on wi-fi for the whole time (no swithin off now and then).
5)and yes the future proofing,Microsoft promised a 10 update,
and i asked the priority center about the battery life,they said to expect the nokia trust and yes they will be available after a year or two if it needs replacement.
mentioned this coz already suffered and XPERIA U in perfect condition but no original battery so the phone is as good as landline phone. i've seen with HTC ans some other brands facing similar issue.
6)screen resolution is pretty decent if compared to cheap micromax and lava handsets.
7)microsoft has released original flip cover too which is also very satisfactory but priced at 450rs.
8)rich skype experience and by rich i mean it,
2g/3g call quality is awesome.and calls can be converted to skype calls directly from the dialer.
9)PAYTM rs 750 CASHBACK,
REDBUS SOME OTHER CASHBACKS,
TRUECALLER 6MONTH PREMIUM,
500MB 3G ON AIRTEL FOR TWO MONTHS,
these bundled features make the phone even more desirable.
conclusion:
if you dont want to spend much,
and dont have too much use of camera,
close your eyes and go for it.
