Well, technically, not my phone. But, I guess that is not the point of discussion here. So, moving on..

i) Accessories - Headset, Charger .. Thats it.. Not that was expecting anything else.
ii) Played a few HD videos. No lag.
iii) There were couple of games - Played the cricket game. There was a slight lag. Dad wanted the games to be removed (as to keep kids away from his prized possession) , so helped him do that
iv) Photos looks good, but then I am not good at taking photos. But attached a couple, so maybe you can judge.
v) Sound is a little less, not bad. But I feel at max. level, it should be 30% more.
vi) Dont think they have added any Custom UI. Just some minor customization. Just a few pre-loaded apps apart from Google ones.
vii) Internet browsing is just fine. Downloads & especially Installation looks superfast compared to his old HTC Wildfire phone
viii) Used live wallpapers for a while & the battery drained like crazy. Back to normal wallpaper, but still it seems it drains quiet fast. Need to check if some app is causing a problem. But then, the phone is in use for the past few hours continuously.
ix) Price - 13990. Would say VFM. Delivery was quick from Snapdeal. Bought on Early hours of 14th & delivered by noon of 16th
x) @admin - No its not that thin, but quite similar to Galaxy Note if you can compare. And there is no one coming out of the phone in a ski as well.

Question on phone storage. I inserted a 2 GB SD card. And now storage shows

Phone Storage - 0.98 GB, 704 MB available
Internal SD - 1.77 GB, 1.67 available
External SD - 1.84 GB, 0.92 GB available

So.. What is the difference between "Phone Storage" & "Internal SD"

Also, do let me know if any specific queries.

Here are the photos that I took. I guess it shows that there is one career I cannot possibly switch to, if I want.
 
He seems to have deleted it. I have asked him to take another one which I will post in 1-2 days...
 
Well, my dad took this picture, and no he did not edit it. But I will ask him tonight & check if he has changed any settings.
 
Absolutely. Grand was obsolete at a moment it was launched. Micromax had A116 almost ready. I was really expecting Grand to cost ~16-17K. Now there is cannibalization and because of that, S3's sales would affect. It is now way answer to MMX offering by looking at price.

And not to mention, other Indian companies (in co-operation with chinese ODMs) too are launching new devices and exploring new feature set at such a pace. And quality to price ratio is just phenomenal. Xolo A700 is one such device.

Speaking of the Xolo A700, I have one myself and I gotta say, the phone really took me by surprise and performs phenomenally well (considering the price).

I agree with you on the quality front, the A700 feels like its built to last and has a really premium feel to it.

Here are a few stills I took with the phone's 5MP shooter. Not too shabby :).

No settings were changed it seems, it was in default settings. Shall share another picture in 1-2 days...
 
HD Videos are ok.. The one game (some preloaded cricket game) I played lagged a bit. So I guess that rules this one out :D
