Checkout Xolo B700, specs are same as Xolo A700 but Battery Backup is far better.

Go for Huawei Ascend Y300 ~ 7980.
XOLO A.S.S is not good.

^can you confirm Huawei ASS is good ?
No sarcasm intended, just need information as I am planning to buy one too

K

I also heard that Xolo A.S.S is not good, but had a good experience with them recently.
Bought a Xolo X500 in Feb. 2013, whose camera was not working. They got my handset picked up from home and arranged for replacement, although after consistent follow up.

Don't know about Huawei A.S.S

Where do you live ?

S

Huawei should have good a.s.s as it is an international brand.

Just because it is an international brand does not mean it would have good A.S.S.
We just need confirmation from people who have actually DEALT with huawei service

Sorry for nub asking but what is A.S.S. i know NFC etc this I can't make out :-?

Getting phone from her will be a tough task so detailed review won't be possible but I will try to give my impression along with some pics.

Any pointers welcome

Edit
How is music quality of huawei y300 through earphones ?
Does it have good power amplifier at least to drive 16 ohms iems?

Will be using poweramp and denon audio.

Finally got the fone yesterday i.e 10th may @10.30am, opened up box today but yet to activate the fone.
Will post detailed impressions later on but first I desperately need SCREEN PROTECTOR as he screen is fingerprint magnet.

Which screen protector are best HOKO or SCREEN WARD ?

Poweramp is the only reason i rejected windows phone !!! cant live without poweramp

Short Updates on Huawei Ascend Y300- My First few hrs with huawei Y300

Pros
1.Gr8 Display in 8k budget,
2.Very Good Built Quality,
3.Sound from Ear Piece is very clear & loud[Even same is confirmed from opp. caller]
4.Feels Premium in hand considering the budget phone

Cons
1.Volume of Loud speaker is very low even in indoors. There will be problem in hearing an incoming call especially for ladies who put their phone in purses.
2.Memory hog.
I guess we are hardly getting 340-350mb of usable ram. After 15-20 min of handling the phone [normal phone function & not a single game]the free ram gets as low as 55mb but never felt any lagging.
3. Found problem in registering touch sometimes

There is an update[international site] for Huawei Y300-0100 model which retails in India but when I clicked on online update no updates were found.

Hope an update may solve the above cons. :Fingerx:

Even i hope so !!!
