How Does India’s $33 Smartphone Stack Up Against the iPhone 6?

[sms]

My MY!!!!! the heights of comparison
one one hand you have the cheapest phone in the world, on the other we have the latest from the IPhone stable.

This is truly an even fight out

One, are you a teenager??
Two, is there an upper limit to your pocket money??
Three, if you were a teenager would you care for a brand???

I am sure this phone was released with low income ppl and teenagers in mind, for whom brand value may not be the first priority.

See such phones were made for the masses and not the classes.
Even if a teenager doesnt buy it then somebody from the lower income strata would.
I am sure the company which launched this mobile must 've done its homework well in advance.

you get what you pay for.

You need to ask a person which phone he can afford and that phone will be considered the winner.

Phone is meant for lower segment for masses (high volume). The people who cannot afford iPhone will definitely buy it. After all it does most of the work a smart phone can do.

Its' defence forum it deserve an example related to defence purchase ...

e.g. Pakistan opted for JF17 instead of other expansive jest available in market. They did not choose it not because of brand value but for functionality and affordability.

Exactly what I said. I unfortunately "can" afford the iphone 6 and yet I use a phone that has less ROM than this $33 phone. Its all about how fast I can get what I need to do done in my case. I use my phone for specific tasks like messaging, emailing and the not so obvious anymore "phone calls" leaving the useless game playing and watching videos and showing off for a tablet or computer.

"Meanwhile, one of the most important features for the on-the-go cheap phone consumer in India, battery life, was dismal. The phone rarely lasted a full day on a single charge, even with light usage."

I read that.
That means this phone might not make it to a teenager's fav list. Lolzzz

Sir Ji, I'm using iPhone5S and it doe not last for whole day. During my last visit to India I saw a Nokia (priced approx <Rs 2K) that could last wks on single charge. We miss Nokia.

But Nokia is sure winner because every Apple phone sale Nokia get 1 Euro.

There was no need of a comparison. It's just ridiculous to compare a $33 phone with a $700 iPhone.
