I bought this phone in Oct’13 and believe this would be an ideal time to write the review. Having used it for more than 6 months now I can clearly state I am extremely satisfied with the phone. The phone works like a breeze- never mind the extremely few cases where it might respond a tad slower, has excellent sound/music output and camera, very easy to use.
The fact that it can boast of a 5 inch screen and still look sleek and compact adds to its value all the more. Till now I haven’t discovered any glitch in manufacturing of its hardware, though I believe the body could have been slightly more sturdy as it has developed some scratches on the outer body - maybe a silicon body would have helped.
Apart from this some basic features like screenshot took some time to figure out. But having said that, the other more required features out of a phone work just fine and like a dream. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a phone somewhere between Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 in terms of specs at a reasonable price (around 25k inr). Just hope the android updates could be as prompt as Nexus.
