Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

^^congrats Y300 is becoming TDF's hot favorite

I predicted it sometime back here *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/buying-advice/143684-10k-mobile-advice-thread-27.html

A smartphone with price below 8000/- with dual core processor and Android Jelly Bean 4.1.1 with 5 MP camera going to rock.

I wanted to buy Y300 but now I changed my mind. I am looking for budget phone with 1 GB RAM. May be I will wait for G526.

Thanks!! BTW its for my sis in law. Lucky Girl got the fone just a day before her B'day. Indiatimes have improved I must say.
I hope she likes it after I spoilt her plans to get S Advance.....

Still to activate the phone but can definitely say that built quality is superb in 8k. Screen is quite glossy & finger print magnet will have to paste Screen guard ASAP.
Can anyone tell me How are SCREEN WARD Screen Protectors
Screen Protector Scratch Guard For Huawei Ascend Y300 buy online at bhavtav.com

@sandinator : Even i saw that paper mentioning , but sending sms everyday is sh!! !!!
@sam : its registration sms , dont know how to stop it . if i update to general version it may stop i think.

My phone have software version V100R001C151B165 but i saw update in website as V100R001C00B175,General Version , which one is new ?

@shuhailnp, congrats. does the mobile have 180degree viewing angles? images do look sharp even when tilting by such a big way. i have used the G-series and the slimness remains same.

it got 178degree viewing angle ( IPS hard screen ).

8k is a surprise price for Y300 when G330 (same as Y300) still sell for 11k. only X5 Pro & Xperia Mini used to offer such H/W under 10k.

they would have better bundled a screen guard than a extra back cover.

your mobile must have update checker (settings>about>check update).

In fact Rs.7182/- OR Rs.7022/- from indiatimes

Yes!
Most ppl will not use black panel. The sides of the fone are white & it do not match well imo. A crome/silver side border would be better.

But I just checked indiatimes, it is showing 7980/-. Naaptol showing 7,599/-

Between, I never did online shopping yet. Is it reliable? What if you get defective product?

Re: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

^ Naaptol got some bad reviews. So, beware..

I do not trust Naaptol.
Indiatimes has Midnight sale on mobiles ranging from 10% to 12%. Can expect at least thrice a month

The option for checking update is there but i dont think it will send sms to check !!! it may use data through wifi ...

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.
