Q700 is a very good product for its price You hear lot of bad stories about Xolo because people when face some problem write them up on forum while who doesn't face any issue don't bother to write reviews.
This is same with other companies too. Nobody is providing proper service except nokia.
For less than 9k nothing can beat it only problem with this phone is it can't properly detect touch when it is connected to charger provided by xolo.

MMX phones are full of crap now. Don't go for them. Looks like they forgot what balanced configuration really is.

^Build Quality is very good. Plz don't update latest update has some problems.
You can get Q700 black colour from flipkart around 8.7k. locally you can get it for 9k.
