wow,
still their Mi page said you need to register and no mention of Buy Now.


EDIT
This is for Redmi Note 3G,
WOW, seems BAN has been lifted.

I am sure Mi is in panic with Yureka to Cut their market share heavily.
What they gained in very short span of time, is now at Risk due to their utmost delay in giving updates.

now with cyanogen mod and 2G+3G+4G+ Dual SIM in Yureka is making them sell as much units they can.

Xiaomi should now stop focusing on PR and get on the job of kicking Micromax's arse.

Yureka falls behind Redmi Note 3G in Camera quality, sound quality and battery capacity. However, cyanogen mod might help Yureka extract more juice out of the battery though that can be confirmed only after both are made public and tests are made.

A Lenovo phone was also previewed at CES

Lenovo A6000 Launched at CES; To Take on Micromax's Yu Yureka and Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G | NDTV Gadgets

And would be sold at flipkart exclusively for below Rs.10,000 price.



The Yureka looks like a real winner as of now but they should also focus on the camera a bit more. Xiaomi phones are all good in cameras nowadays. So, a good competitor also has to have a good camera. Otherwise, Yureka looks perfect specs wise. Micromax can make some more phones with more features etc. at different price points. However, I hope Micromax continues the phones and don't lag on after sales support like its existing phones which are dumped by the company within a couple of months.

the thing with micromax is that they do not have the capabilities or sense to make truly original devices. they are just going to recycle existing shit. xiaomi does not have that problem. plus i am guessing xiaomi has tons more resources to their disposal and an actual software development team that is doing some great work. and i doubt it's going to take long before cyanogenmod and micromax develop their own differences over some issues. both companies are full of douchebags.

I was quite getting inclined towads Yureka just for the sake of CM11 and 12

but Digit's review opened few facts and its looking as Ripped down version of CM

So I would personally wait for kernel sources of Redmi Note 3G and would PORT a custom CM 11 for my own use
have ported earlier for MTK6577 device so I guess I could do it again in few sleepless nights.

Xiaomi is a Giant and has resources so they are capable of bringing features which you would feel hard to leave once
you start loving it, but they are way behind in speeding up things.

Yureka on the other hand, no matter what, would be preferred by every dude as its coming from micromax known for shitty looks
but affordable price.

Lastly

Last night Sale on Flipkart for Redmi Note 3G was a Fiasco
they messed up something technically and had to ship a few Redmi 4G to compensate the guys who were able to
proceed with the redmi note 3G order.

^^^^^
LOL. Unnecessary 1k loss for them...

to my shock I found heavy scratches on my friends Note 3G today.
Got him tempered glass and applied it, but I looked like a pumpkin as It was me who forced him to buy this phone
after I explained what Gorilla Glass 3 was and blah blah blah.

so my mom's Redmi note has a weird issue. the phone stays connected to wireless network. but internet stops working after a few hours (maybe soon but hard to tell) on its own. i basically have to turn off and turn on wifi to get it back online. even though the network remains same. it's quite annoying as it adds on another step for my mom to learn before she could check for new messages on whatsapp or check other stuff. wondering if this is a known issue with first gen redmi note (4g i think) or there is a solution for this issue.
