        This is good but not practical on the back of the phone. They should put it on the front side.

            when i see a phone with 720p display in 2016 i would automatically expect the price to be less than $100 (around 6500 rupees). 9,750 rupees is high for all these waste phones.

              A phone that came out 4 years ago!
              Innovation? Hardly!
              And on the Xperia U it was all the way through, so either way up, and you still saw it.

                      Whether to keep the phone face down or hide it inside a casing, it is your choice. :)

                      Of course, keeping the phone face down or face is circumstantial. If I am sleeping on the bed while the phone is placed on a table across the room, it is a good idea to keep it face down so you can hear any notifications or rings.

                              Im expecting this phone since months ago because im waiting for an affordable 4.7inch compact phone with usable specs. Oh dear at the comes out to be another 5 inch junk. What's the difference with the j3? Hope the overpriced a3 will drop price somemore.

                                  the light could've been on the front like BlackBerry models. i don't feel comfortable keeping my phone screen-down as it usually greets nasty scratches.

Wouldn't it all be better to use a silicon cover and keep seeing whats going on with the screen so you don't have to make extra maneuvers just to see a flashing led.... In the end is like scratching your left ear with your right arm.... Tech is supposed to make our life easier, this doesn't look like the case...
