My Dad needs a dual sim phone to replace his OG Moto G. I am considering buying this phone. Bigger high-res screen, better camera, double RAM, faster processor. Looks good enough.

Are there any better dual-SIM phones that anyone would like to recommend?

Guys anybody out here who has purchased the Mi Band?
I think it's available for long time on ebay but maybe available through flash sale on April 28th in India.

The Mi Band fitness tracker is priced at Rs 999 and will be sold exclusively on Mi.com. The Mi Band not only tracks exercise, but also monitors sleep patterns. It can also automatically unlock Mi phones and other Android 5.0 devices. First 1,000 units will be sold for Re 1 and registrations for the same starts on April 28. The Mi Band is water-resistant and will be available in several strap colours like Black, Blue, Green and Pink along with leather straps too

Xiaomi have launched another great mobile for Indian Market called as Xiaomi Mi 4i. The phone seems to have amazing features.

I'm hopeful that they will release the 32/64gb model of the mi4i in some time. Also the new yuphoria could be a great competitor

After my Asus zenfone 5 display failure & seeing the entire MI 4i event I'm getting inclined to it. Just 16GB memory is bit let down for me.

In case if I decide to go for it by 30th April I need to know if there is any compact OTG Micro SD Card Reader for 32GB card.
No OTG USB drive please as I need something very compact while traveling.

Why not go with Asus Zenphone 2. There is one for nearly every budget.

I want compact phone especially 4.5 to 4.7 inch with quality HD Display. Battery Backup is also important aspect. Do not want to carry a brick in my pocket anymore.

My zenfone 5 is almost as huge as any 6 inch phablet.
I guess all Zenfone 2 are 5.5 inch at present so I believe it will be similar to my Nexus 7 in dimensions ;).

I'm not an avid android lover but this Mi4i caught my attention. Still unsure to get it or not.

At present I'm using my old Sony Ericsson Cedar java phone & cannot access net while traveling so pretty fed up & I may even get some 3g tablet to replace my nexus 7 2012 wifi 32 gb if I found any good alternative around 10k
OR
I may even get some cheap 3g phone with WiFi hotspot feature to access net on Nexus 7 WiFi & Lenovo Flex10 netbook.

getting a hotspot is a better option coz it will provide you a flexibility of using net on many devices.

Yes, something like Huawei E5220 data card is useful but I will require a decent budget mobile phone to keep it as a spare phone as my SE Cedar may not hold on for long. The spare phone will be handy at times when the main phone just like my Zenfone 5 lands in service centre for repairs Or in case when I sell off my phone to get some better one.

My guess Mi Band is exclusively on mi.com/in, thats what Hugo told in the event.
Check there I'm too trying for Re.1 offer. ;) :D

But the question here is what time?
I need to plan. Most probaly I will be in office so need to check if I have access there.
With so many guys buying products from flash sale I thought someone will know.

The other day when I selected the Register option for Mi4 it directed me to the flipkart site hence that maybe the reason why amjath is suggesting flipkart.
