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…
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.
Thanks Santosh for letting your views on chinese mobiles. on the question posted on mobiles manufactured in india … please read this (taken from . Yes they produce in china but they have a unit in india too ! See what Nokia speaks about india and the social responsibility they take.

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.
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
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.
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!
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
Dear santosh for your knowledge let me tell u nokia is also manufactured from china and samsung from korea.
Is there any phone in India with usb OTG functionality?
Micromax A116 Canvas HD
Gogi,you have just mentioned the specs of W8+..what about W8 ?
W8 is with lesser internal storage I think 8GB.
but i dont think W8 comes with Full HD screen as W8+…can u confirm?
specs are brilliant.
only drawback is that these companies dont have strong after sales service in all over india.
This phone w8 is already available on rediff shopping.
Nice discovery dude !!
its the youth 1gb version.. the new one has upto 35%faster processor mediatek 5689 turbo and 2 GB ram
Gizchina says thl w8+ will hav 2 gigs of ram and updated mt6589t….
can’t decide which one to buy….

I hate China mobiles being an Indian as we all know how Chinese are. Please do not promote Chinese mobiles if you are a true Indian.
This is my strongly personal beliefs.
Jai Hind!
Santosh
really?? this is how you show patriotism?
how about some common sense..appreciate the hard work man.. all the tech you can get for less money is not just god given..people worked hard on it.. and “”strongly personal beliefs”” yeah fine with that but don’t just call out to people’s emotions as ” true Indians” and ask them to give up a great product..what would you let us have for being a true Indian?
half of micromaxx products are rip offs..so much for being a true Indian..all i am saying here is show some common sense..
P.S. just what i feel (personal belief)
So wat fone do u use Santosh?
Are you going to buy? Of course not… so don’t worry about it. We all know about Chinese product and their services and never go for it.
donot worry Santosh.
this entry of chinese mobile wont change any sentiment towards our swadeshi minds. this will only increase the competition. nothing else. kya pta sayad kal isi ki wajah se samsung s3 tumhe 20000 mein mil jaye. this is the catch here. just wait & watch. surely swadesh will gear up new things. after all WE ARE INDIANS. isnt it
Lol. Where do you think all the other phones are made? Most of the cell phones are made in China for your kind info! Even the iPhones and Galaxy series! Don’t act stupid!
Don’t mix up politics etc with my personal choice of things….so opting for Chinese mobiles in the future.
hey gogi, xolo x910 showed up on flipkart!!!!!!
