This should not come as a surprise as the company is a collaboration between Chinese based Businessmen and Indian Entrepreneurs. And the rebranding strategy is nothing new.
Gaming on this phone seems to be good as it plays NOVA 3, Modern Combat 4 without breaking a sweat!
We have exposed the recent "Blockbuster releases" like the Xolo Play which is a Beidou Little Pepper, The Auxus Nuclea N1 by iBerry which is a Tianhe Butterfly X920e+ and we were also the first expose the highly overhyped Micromax Canvas 4 as the Blu Life One!
Every phone that enters India by these smaller manufaturers are just rebranded phones of Bestsellers in China. And as such you can do the math and see that you are sitting on a decent amount of profit if one were to directly Import the phones and sell In India- a path which many Indian Businessess are looking into to make the fast buck.
While these Phones offer features which no Samsung or Nokia can offer at new dirt Cheap prices one must be aware of the fact that there is hardly any form of service available for these companies. So if that new screen of your budget Chinese superphone cracks you end up paying almost half the price of your handset while if it were from a mainstream company you might end up paying anywhere between 2-5000INR
So readers be aware, don't go by hype alone and make sensible investments while buying your new phone!
