Realme 2 Pro is the competition for M2. I don't think Realme 3 is coming for a few months.

how's the service of motorola/lenovo? earlier before its acquisition by lenovo, motorola's service was said to be very good. but what about now? reading about people's experience with asus's service, thinking of going for the moto one power phone.

^^What's wrong with asus service? I think it mainly depends on "which service centre provider" you go to.e.g.I think F1 info is a bit better than regenersis.

Yeah One Power is a great phone. Stock Android One, 2 years updates, 5000mah battery, etc.

true. thanks.
yes. but other than the OS & the cam, zenfone m1 is similar (& cheaper), hence the confusion.

I am looking for a sub 5k phone for everyday use-recently i spotted that FK is offering the zenfone lite l1 for about 5000-this does fit the bill as far as my requirements go,however i noticed that a lot of buyers have complained that this handset doesn't support Volte.
However a few others have claimed that originally the handset lacked volte support,which was added by ASUS later via a FOTA update-unfortunately i couldn't find any way to confirm this.
Does anyone here know whether this phone really supports volte or not?Also does this phone have any other known drawbacks?if possible,please share your views on this matter,thanks.

Would you kindly share the details as to what experience your brother had with his asus phone?It would be very useful for a lot of us here.
After takeover of lenovo it will not be as good as earlier,that's for sure. Even lenovo's laptop after sales service is not known for its quality,can be considered average at best compared to Dell.

You can check on Lenovo A5 too. Both are more or less same on spec, but A5 (MediaTek MT6739) got 4000mah compared to 3000mah of A1 (Snapdragon 430), and a fingerprint sensor. Also, A5 is 1k more than L1.

I wouldn't suggest anyone to buy Jio Phone. I have been using mobile phones for more than a decade, and this is the worst.
- You're not buying, you're renting it for 3 yrs. If you don't fulfill the terms neither you will get your money back nor you get to keep the phone.
- Keypads are worst.
- Hangs a lot. Hangs when its idle, hangs when call comes, hangs when you use it.
I have shared my experience here in this thread. Check it, if you still wanna buy it then go for it.

That phone will be used primarily for calling or sending texts occasionally. Do you think it would be suited for this?
I read a lot of negative reviews about the phone on Amazon-most buyers were complaining that it starts malfunctioning within a few months of purchase and reliance's service center refuses to honor warranty on various grounds.
Since the phone won't be subjected to any kind of heavy usage,how long is it probably going to last? Also how's the battery backup of this phone?

Why don't you buy Nokia 3310? Sure it costs more but its 3310, you can have peace of mind by spending more.

Actually it will be used by my mother, not me and she already has a Samsung feature phone.
The reason i wanted to get the jio phone for her is that she makes frequent phone calls to friends /relatives and so the calling balance gets depleted rather quickly, thereby forcing us to recharge it often.
I thought with jio's 49 plan we'll be able to avail unlimited calling, which will be a major advantage.
However as i was reading nac's thread on his jio phone experience, i learned that if i recharge it for rs 49 every month for a year, then the total recharge amount won't exceed 1500, which will be in violation of their terms and conditions. In that case will they allow us to continue using the phone or stop providing services to it?
Also are there multiple variants of the 1500 rupees' worth jio phone, manufactured by different companies?

Brother I would stay away from these contracts and all. Get some other cheap phone which supports 4g for unlimited calling.
