Gogi don’t you think that SD 415 is an octacore 64 bit SOC which has Adreno405 GPU (Micromax Canvas Nitro 4G), so it seems that SD 425 is a downgrade as it is just Quadcore with a lower GPU….

even 10k phones may get SD625. many mid range successors to k4 note, redmi series,and coolpads may get 625.

Yes, by June Snapdeal 625 and Mediatek Helio will become the norm at 9 k-13 k. Probably also 4 gb RAM and 32 gb ROM with 128 gb expandable, fingerprint scanner, and flash with front camera, and FHD screens. I’m also hoping for 10,000 mah removable battery with Turbo charging also usable as power bank and a slightly larger 5.9 inch pressure-sensitive screen with stylus like the Galaxy Note series(but passive) For 15 k, the same deal but with a Super Amoled screen! Convergence of all innovations seen in recent times ?

good to see Snapdeal in the process of manufacturing SOC’s… :D;)

Damn you Auto Correct!

Nice to see affordable 14nm chipset coming from sd..will power 20k rs devices in 2016

Yes handsets using these could easily be priced at under 20K, probably even under 15K.
Ayush
but if device will come from Xiaomi or Letv then price will be under 10k :p
