        so i have been using this phone for over a month now and i will clear everyone doubts...this phone gives average battery backup which will last for only 10-15 hours on normal usage and i mean normal, use it heavily and it will last only 6-7 hours, so this phone is not for heavy user, also battery backup will not increase by a big margin no matter how many updates it has.. updates has improved standby time but not so much te battery backup.. also kitkat update has no problem but dont install via ota, erase format and indtall full kitkat firmware via adb and you will have no problem...one tip to improve battery is install greenify and nothing much ese ou can do, it is what it is. ....moving on to camera..camera is good .it takes good photos but its dynamic range is poor. and has exposure problems..video recording is very poor indoors because it lags and frame rate drops in low light, in daylight video is fine but it is not so clear even in 1080p. overall i see no big difference between 1080p and 720p videos on this phone, but low light capability of this phone is indeed better than most phones out there.. it can see in low light where as other phones dont but ofcourse night mode has low clarity and lot of noise ...the audio level is indeed low and there is nothing much you can do about it since it has low amplifiier, its a hardware thing...but overall, this phone has excellent display, gaming is also good and its not so bad but dont expect too much ,,since its just 10000 rs phone
