We all are so geared up with the Samsung's and the HTCs of the world, that we seldom look at the affordable segment. So much is the excitement around the new gadgets that the price tags have started to bother less. It has something to do with our sense of valuing the real thing.
The underlined statement these days is "Thy shall repent if thou buys cheap phones". As true as it may be for the experienced, there is a lot of chatter for affordables, specifically at the 7k to 10k bracket. There is Redmi 2 and Moto E Gen 2 at the forefront, both priced at 7K on Flipkart.com.
InFocus, is mainly known for Projectors and Displays and is making some noise in the Indian smartphone market. The company’s India Facebook page went live last month and have a few phones featured.
The InFocus M2 smartphone specifically appears to be catering to the selfie-obsessed generation.

What's Good:
- Dual 8MP camera: There is a flash on each side and hence better selfies.
- Snapdeal price: of Rs. 4999/-
- Expandable Storage: up to 64GB. Easy to expand and store more photos, music, videos, apps.
- Sharp HD screen: with a density of 355ppi. Good to use in well lit areas only, not in the open.
What's Not Good:
- Android Buttons: DO NOT have backlight. All the best for use at night.
- Screen: It reflected almost everything under the sun. So visibility is very limited.
- Camera Quality: 8MP Looks good on paper but this hardly acts as one.
- 1.3 GHz Quad core Mediatek processor: Somewhat ok to have but with just 8GB internal, this will add to the sluggishness.
- 1GB RAM: Is old and seems outdated and sluggish. Will makes the phone lag after some time.
- 8GB internal memory: Will get exhausted in no time.
- Kitkat 4.2.2: The next version is available with other phones.
- Battery: 2,010mAh. You have to check the battery status after every photo is shot. Carry a bank at large.
- Weight: 145 grams. Seems bulky for the hardware specs it has.
It looks good on paper but it doesn't match the reality. The fact is that there are better placed products and being a "Price Valuing Indian", you shouldn't settle for this.
