@skumare; Looks like the malware system is getting stuck on some installed app. Two tricks - one disable apps one by one and try to find the rogue. Second option reinstall the scanner.

This Freedom 251 phone has caused a massive disruption in my office, at least. Every tom, dick & harry placed an order. People are making fun of me for spending so much on the S6 Edge, which is understandable considering the sudden euphoria.

However, if the phone really makes to the mass market, it will seriously disrupt not only the Indian market, but even the international markets will have to sit up and take notice.

But I still cannot believe that anyone can manufacture and sell a smartphone at 251 /- INR.

This is in all probability, a massive scam.
Or an over reach by the boys. Either way, I think you'll be better off than your colleagues, who will probably be using smoke signals to respond to your SMS.

And even if it does work out, the specs are the bare minimum, something that I bought almost 2 years ago. SO you can also expect them to be waiting for your SMS to open on their phone the next day.

Their office is about 300 metres from mine, and I walked by thrice before I realized that this is the "heart of the revolution", supposedly. I would have expected some crowd, signs, something. They don't even have the company name, forget about people.

It sure looks like a scam to me too.
What puts me in doubt of why no immediate deliveries? Why deliver after 4 months.?
Many people will order in bulk too for the purpose of reselling.
I read in newspaper that they had 6lakhs hits on their website within a second of commencement of booking.

Considering a conservative figure of 20 lakh bookings, Ringing Bells is gonna have a 50.2 crore Rupees into their bank account within 2-3 days.

I also heard that there'll be another round of booking too at a later day.

Now, the question is, what they'll do out of this 50 crores. They'll invest it somewhere, definitely.
Or worse, may simply run away with it.

But if they won't run away, I have a feeling they'll fulfill some percentage of orders too and for the rest, they'll offer refunds to the customers or may simply push away the delivery date further and further.

Hope sanity prevails over people and they stop pre ordering it.

But at the end of the day, a nice way of doing business!!

Have a kind of confusion and would like inputs and suggestions as to how to proceed. I have zeroed in on the two phones Lenovo Vibe P1 Turbo and Redmi Note 3 as the phones with the right specs I would like in my mobile phone. Specs on both are more or less the same except for subtle yet important specs as differences. That makes it hard to decide on one.

Pros on Lenovo in comparision are: Bigger battery, Gorilla GLASS, dedicated mmc slot.
Cons: weaker processor, poor aesthtics/looks.

Pros on Redmi: Great looks(biggest attraction) , bigger processor, bigger gpu.
Cons: Absence of Gorilla glass protection, shared slot for sim2 and mmc(biggest dealbreaker), bland looking back cover, smaller battery(can be lived with).

Now this is quite jumbling to choose from. If I think better pracricality and utility then the Lenovo makes sense, if I think with practical stance. But the looks of the Redmi has me floored and its not that bad a phone if I decide to live with a limited 32 gigs.
Something like choosing between a nice wife or a beautiful mistress.
Ideas anyone?

Please avoid Redmi note 3. Amazon and MI forums are mostly negative. Heating and battery drain issues are present.

6xx series is generally heat-prone. Is it worse than the others?

Please share links to specific reviews.

Thanx sairamboko for your input. I'll keep that in mind.

Replaced my iPhone 6+ screen using iService for 16k yesterday. Very happy with overall service plus bloody Apple apologised for Error 53 too!

Got the Galaxy S6 last week. I am some how disappointed with the battery performance. It is draining too fast even with out any 3G/4G connection or wifi. If left unused, it will last max. 12 Hrs. The android OS is taking 80% of battery life.
I am thinking about taking this to the samsung service centre. All other functions are top class.

Got the Moto X play 2 days back. Thanks to bhpians for your feedback. Its really VFM device and the Marshmallow update makes it perfect

Yeah..I have been using an S6 for the last 4 months. The battery drains out fast but I think its okay with the fast charging.
