Yes . .its old. . .its discontinued? I dont think so. . .Everyone told me not to buy it and better to go in for Iphone 5c. But I was so impressed with the price 14500/-. and I was suspicious too. But I was so confident on flipkart that they would accept returns. hence I did the order. The usual guy who delivers it to me walked up my steps three days well ahead of the delivery time.
I was very happy to have the product in hand. The first thing I did was to go to a authorised I store(to get my product authenticated) and the reply I got was just bliss. they told the product has moved out of their manufacturing facility in china only on 26th fe I was shell shocked. such a new product on my hands was once so told had been discontinued?
On returning back home I noticed the cover of my phone which showed the photo of ios 8 operating system on the cover which then stuck me that it should have been a recent product. I also authenticated my accessories and they were told to be original. Now I am using this phone for the past 10 days and it has been awesome.
Ive listed out my experience.
pros:
Quality of the material used
cheaper than other expensive plastic handsets
ease of use and multi tasking
internet usage and console level graphics performance
No much charge consumed only if internet in used(without internet gaming and maps location, facebook and other apps consume less charge).
