View From The TopThe almost simultaneous availability of the ZenFone 4.5 and the Redmi 1S at the EXACT same price after such a long waiting period since their announcement, is great news for people with a 5-10K budget, but it's sure to confuse the mess out of most buyers in the segment.
Do you go with the more established brands in Asus/Motorola or just go with Xiaomi and get the best possible hardware money can buy for under 10K? If you decide on the later, there's the question of availability just like the Mi3, as Xiaomi is likely to continue on with the flash sale strategy that's served them so well all across Asia, and created so much free publicity for them.
On the other hand, if you decide to go with an established brand name and sacrifice a bit on specs, you're left to decide between the higher spec'ed x86 device (incompatible with games like Modern Combat 3 etc. AFAIK) or the lower spec'ed ARM one, which will be compatible with pretty much everything, but will be significantly under-performing the ZF 4.5 not just in synthetic benchmarks but also real world apps, multitasking, rendering, encoding, decoding, gaming, etc. not to mention the pitiful rear camera without variable focus, smaller aperture (f/4.0 vs f/2.0 in the ZF 4.5), unavailability of HD recording, and a complete lack of video calling options on account of the missing webcam.
Don't know about the country at large, but at least in the world of budget mobile phones, without a trace of doubt "achhe din aanewale hai" LMFAO!
P.S. - #-Link-Snipped-# - The entire Zenfone series does have FM radios by all accounts. The A450CG a.k.a. ZenFone 4.5 also has a rear LED flash unlike the smaller A400CG. So neither are distinguishing factors between the two aforementioned devices. Please do check the #-Link-Snipped-# and the #-Link-Snipped-#. Just a heads up. 👍
