Hey what about gizchina’s this report?
http://www.gizchina.com/2013/05/16/news-of-oppo-and-thl-entering-india-false/
gogi,neither THL nor Oppo are launching mobiles in India ..Just a rumour
hey hey heii….. superb friends nice to see the decent yet strong conversation below there… keep up Guys…
one thing that i want to add is, once after the little boy destroyed Japan, they start and retail like chines brand products the duplicates low quality products to enhance the economy and growth and once they realized that its not they way to reliable growth they changed everything.. they found the six sigma and now they are the benchmark for quality and technology…. china will definitely change….
But as WE are all Indians, what are we going to do……
Hey Guys,
Sorry for confusion. It was me who visited more than 5 times to Micromax service center in my city – & again they didn’t even return my handset. This is my only frustration & fear about chinese brands otherwise not.
Keep doing discussions & post your valuable comments – WE CAN ONLY GET BENEFITS HERE. Like as you guys are saying:
(1) Might be Samsung S-III price will come down to 20K
(2) I completely agreed with Deepak, Sohil & other guys comments.
More the device launched – a good point of business growth. We know, maximum mobile parts are directly or indirectly connected to China.
I appreciate & thankful to Mr. Gogi baba, for his valuable works on this superb platform.
@Gogi Sir, One request, if possible please do something to recognise different users of same name using any dynamic key generation through email-id/website field data as I have only posted once.
Thanks everyone. Keep on posting…

Kudos Nokia ( I just got lumia 620 and wd continue to use nokia products).
Jai Hind !
@p.d Nokia is manufaturing low end asha mobiles here. Not wp8. Wp would not win stop with the astroturfing.
Santosh with ref to Micromax send email to micromaxmobile.india@gmail.com with job sheet number and contact details. As for comments no for now cannot do a check, but am working on this issue.
Don’t get excited by just seeing specs and Pre-Order (Umi is best example) button for these chinese companies (not devices). The main thing is availability, then check for it’s review and then look for service centre. If Chinese companies just distribute their (already manufactured) handsets in India without setting up a good number of service centres in India, then without spending on additional setup here, they are just booking profits. Not a bad deal for them and very wicked business model.
Actually if you take a look at their FB page(UMi), they have mentioned a few service centres. Though they are not UMi’s own SC’s, we still can go those shops for repairs! But the thing is like you said, wait and watch! 🙂
Can ny one tell one mobile compny which make their own handsets in india….so that WE INDIANS CAN BUY THE INDIAN SETS……….ha ha ha
There are a few home grown companies who have done that. And recent news is that the Samsung will set up a factory or whatever in India, so it can manufacture the products for our country. And also the Samsung Rex series were made in India itself!
Who else does manufacturing in their own country. Apple, HP, and all major players are in china. Its not company’s faults. its that our indian govt. policies are faulty and work is on for shifting manufacturing semiconductor industry of atleast our country’s demand in our country. Labour out there in china is very cheap plus with nill labour laws. so every company finds to manufacture their products cheap there.
Vat is going on here………CIVIL WAR……My advice:.. THINK FROM BRAIN NOT FROM HEART.
Gogi, I think the advanced version has the MT6589 Turbo chip.
What about next panasonic p51
