Camera is good, phone is running smooth with out any lagging. Mobile charger and mobile gets heated too much when kept for charging. In Camera, we can't tap any where on screen to take pics. we need to tap exactly on the click button to take pics. As phone is 5.5 inch , it is little difficult to take selfies by tapping exactly on the camera click option. Apart from that i bought it from Amazon for a offer price of rs. 15900. So over all 3.5 ratings for the mobile.

Rajesh Roy (Sep 15, 2016) on Gadgets 360

The screen size is good enough,but apart from that there are a lot of problems with the phone.The inbuilt memory is only 8gb out of which only 4gb is usable.Even the RAM is only around 1.2gb.There are no side buttons or tap on the screen option for clicking photos.It does not support 4g.Overall it not a value for money phone.
