It came in 2014in India via flipkart and I bought it in june 2014 and used it for 18 months and I have to say its really good.
Its performs better than most of the mobiles even now but at present you will miss some specs like its 5 mp camera will not satisfy you or 1 gb ram will feel less but stillits a beast in performance:-
its con - outdated and no memory expansion
pros - 1. 4.5 inches hd display, great viewing angles and responsiveness
2.faster android updates, marshmallow on its way
fluid perfomer because of near stock android
awesome build quality
decent camera
we all know its outdated but still a great phone if you wanna try android or looking for a phone for your parents:)
Go for it but if 16 gb is not enough for you then dont buy
