They are located in Kurla, Mumbai. The Customer Service Lady is very co-operative. Bought Samsung Champ GT-C3303 this Diwali for 4k including Octroi & all taxes+shipping.

Whats the advantage of 880G over say a 785G or a 760?

^^880G got a somewhat better IGP - HD4250. moreover 880G is paired usually with SB710 southbridge in budget mobos like Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H while in others it is paired with SB850 like MSI 880GMA E45 or Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H.

in gaming, NONE. 780G, 785G or 880G. all same chip but with little modification. just 880G can OC more compared to 78*G. 760G is a bit slow.
