Conclusion

At Rs. 11,980, the phone is not a bad deal but the competition in this price range is very fierce. I really liked the display, camera and build quality of the phone for sure. But in a market which is more spec driven and has phones like Redmi Note 3 and Coolpad Note 5 surely steal some limelight from the device. But if you prefer quality over quantity, this phone is surely a good buy for you.
