works like new till date.
there is no thumb rule that device like a micromax will fail after 6 months.
just head over to xda forum to see how many mmx users are still using a year old mmx canvas 2.
user experience may vary for service centre from place to place(with all manufacturers), but some are happy with it too.

Eight Apps To Extend Your Android's Battery Life
The battery is the Android smartphone’s biggest weakness. Gone are the days when you could charge your phone once and forget about your charger for a couple of days (Nokia 3310 anyone?). In Android phones, you can expect up to eight hours of battery life. Of course, with the level of functionality that they provide, this is expected, but carrying a charger around all the time can be quite exasperating.
One of the biggest strengths of the Android OS though is in its third party apps, and through these apps, you can even improve your battery life. So, here are a few apps that’ll help you do that.
Eight Apps To Extend Your Android's Battery Life
Wakelock Detector : This is more of an analytical app and is useful for people who really understand the Android system, like developers. This app detects Wakelocks on your system. This is an Android feature that lets apps keep the CPU awake and doesn’t let it go to sleep. The Detector finds which apps are using Wakelocks and lets you know.
Battery Doctor : This app is better suited for amateur users. It analyzes your system and tells you what apps you should turn off in order to optimise your battery life.
Tasker : This app is a scheduling application in a way. It lets you manage your phone and automate different programs and components to run and not run based on the time and location.
JuiceDefender : This is a power manager app that lets you extend the battery life of your device. The basic version of this app is available for free, but it also has paid version at $1.99 and $4.99.
Go Battery Saver : As the name suggests, this is also a battery saving app. It shows you which apps are taking the most power in your phone and gives you personalised control over your device. It has a free version and the paid full version comes at $4.99.
Battery Defender : This is one of the simplest battery saving applications for the Android system. One of the best parts about it is that it is available for free.
Battery Drain Analyzer : This app computes the percentage per hour usage of your battery. You can get this app for free or buy the pro version for $2.19.
ES Task Manager (Task Killer) : With over 10 million downloads, this app is one of the best known in the Android market. If you use this app alongside other battery managing apps, then the information you gathered from them can be used effectively using this.

My brother in law found that there is no good phone available below 15k, hence increased the budget between 15-21k to buy a good one with 1GB RAM and good processor speed.
He is looking at S4 mini, please advice other options.
