Guys any reviews for Mi4i, two handsets are needed one 16gb which is available for 9999/- and 10% cashback more on this price and 32gb is around 14999/- when it gets available.But havent seen anyone in group using it, so looking for reviews of it.
Mi4i is too good for its price !! My friend is using it for more than 3Months , no complaints only UI is a hit or miss. Fast but resemble Ios a bit. Sure you can go ahead before the offers closed.

After so much of stupid research that I did, fell into booking Asus Zenfone 2 Laser, yes another one!

Was crazily searching internet for best mobile in the budget of 7k, but then I sold my Xperia M to my cousin who was in need and finally decided upon buying Micromax Canvas Xpress 2 as it was below my budget and seemed a good buy for the features it offered. Then went into detailed reviews, it was good, but some or other features that I needed was missing here and there(5.5 inch and lollipop to be exact).

Then thought for myself that Asus had good reviews all over the internet and friends suggesting the same mobile, then goggled in flipkart to order one today morning, to my utter dismay, everything was out of stock! then looked for alternatives like the Lenovo K3 note and Moto G 2nd Gen 4G was upcoming one, didn't like the Moto G and Lenovo K3 Note ticked all the boxes but the SAR value it had was becoming a concern. Then went on searching in other websites about Asus and found a deal where the same model was being sold at a very high premium of 11500 INR in ebay.in.

Stopped searching and went into flipkart again and looked for this Asus Model and saw it was available in stock but unfortunately a white colored one, so booked and gave payment method as COD, now the delivery is pending and I'm yet to see if it's for real,because it seems very weird that a product going out of stock and coming back as"In Stock" in a very small timeframe [roll].

They do this to clear stocks evenly. White model has less demand then black color so to sell them, they set black models out-of-stock even if they have them until they sell most of the stocks of while models.

Flipkart has got lot of orders in this big billion day so there will be delay in processing. I had order three items last week and only one is dispatched yesterday. Two are still pending in processing.

Same goes for Amazon also. Out of two orders, one has reached me but other is still processing.

p.s Don't buy Asus Zenfone from ebay india because they sell those that bought on flipkart previously and have their name on invoice. Also you'll not get 30 days replacement/return guarantee.

Guys please suggest my mother a new phone.Budget-₹30-35K.Phones I'm considering is One Plus 2,iPhone 5S or 6,Galaxy S6.But,I'm leaning towards iPhone as she got used to it.But,it may be iPhone 5S as we have two iPhone 6 at home(used by me and my father).

This will replace my previous Nexus 5 which is used by my mother now as her iPhone 4S both front and back panels got smashed and battery came out.

battery and specs look tempting.

do post a review [:)]

also i have noticed in other Lenovo's models, camera offering has been below par to say the least, do post how the pictures come out with this 13MP camera.
I asked from flipkart pick up center in pitampura. The mobile has reached there

But Flipkart has not sent mobile OTP + Adress so that i can pick up [frustration]

Mailed them as no phone no available [frustration]

Quite recently, my year old Moto G2 screen is showing a crack. Don't know how though... The screen replacement costs about 6K, which doesn't worth as the resale value is just 4K or so.

So, looking for a new phone... [anger][cry] These are under consideration.

  1. iPhone 5S 32 GB - 34K on Amazon
  2. Lenovo Vibe P1 - 17K on Flipkart
  3. Oneplus X - 16K or so
  4. Oneplus 2 - 20K I guess
  5. Nexus 5X - If 32 GB is available, which is not the case yet.

Bought Lenovo Vibbve P1 @ 14,400 using stanchart 10% discount. Stanchart card rocks
Lenovo VIBE P1 Price in India - Buy Lenovo VIBE P1 Silver 32 GB Online - Lenovo : Flipkart.com
As this is one in my list, a honest feedback will help. Thanks.

iPhone 5S 32 GB Space Grey is for 34K on Amazon. Just checked.

Nexus 5X is available only 16 GB on Amazon. Just checked again.

I too want to try iPhone as I am a bit bored with Android for last few years. However, not OK to spend 34K on a phone! [surprise][frustration] Well, opinion differs...

I was mentioning about 16GB not 32GB iPhone 5S.Now,32GB is available in Nexus 5X when I saw it in Amazon just now.

All the best for your new mobile purchase.
