Nexus 5 all the way! To help you decide, the processor used in the Desire 816 is the same as the Rs 5,999 Redmi 1S ![]() Last edited by SunnyBoi : 26th August 2014 at 22:03. |

![]() Nexus 5 really is in a league of its own. Having said that, consider the HTC One Mini. I find the One/One mini to be the snappiest and gorgeous devices out there that can closely rival the iPhone except in terms of value the MI3 has it licked. | |

| ![]() For the people who want to buy a mi3 and do not want to go through the trauma of the flash sale, buy the phone by paying a premium of 1k - 1.5 k from olx, quikr, etc. |

And the worst affected are going to be brick and mortar stores, I guess. | |

I wonder why seller/manufacturer is targeting only iPhones and Galaxies. This is such a simple but effective solution, I wonder why manufacturers don't bother to provide something similar. I guess they would rather you buy an exhorbitantly priced back panel from them instead. Last edited by Raccoon : 27th August 2014 at 04:41. | |

| ![]() Recently bought MotoG after the prices were slashed. I had this older SIM card which would not fit the slot, so got a microSim from Idea. I have a prepaid account. From the past three days there have been deductions from my account ranging from 60 paise to 2 rupees. I am not making any calls or sending any SMSes. I am not aware if the updates use the Idea 3G. Any settings I have to change? |

And if Xaiomi desired, many Indian online retailers would be willing to be an exclusive window for their sales. | |

The MotoG was delivered in under 24 hours and both my wife and I feel that the Mi UI is a lot friendlier and easier to use compared to the UI in the MotoG. Quote:
I charge the phone in the morning just before I get to work and by the time I leave it's at around 70% charge. Data, BT, WiFi all on through the day and after I reach home my son plays games on it for a few hours till his bedtime. The phone gets down to 20% charge by then only to be plugged in for a recharge the next morning (and it is at 15% the next morning). I have a custom power mode enabled which kicks in at 25% to conserve battery. The charger is excellent and quick to recharge the phone battery. It charges the phone back to around 80% power in just over an hour. I don't think service would be an issue since they have set up service centers in major cities. If service was an issue, it would apply to all phones and not just a particular model. | ||
