I think, peoples should consider Yu Yureka over this phone in India. The simple reason is- you'll get CyanogenMod 11 and promised updates, so your device will be updated with the latest operating system always.

Let's hope for that to happen because we need some real fighters against Qualcomm, tbh I'm beginning to feel that they're getting slightly bigger for their shoes of late. At the very least qcom's not really open too but they do provide on time blobs and better dev interaction through CAF maybe MT can do something similar to start though preferably going more open later should be 10x better.

MT6732 and 6752 scheduled for this month. I suppose we could see first devices equipped with those next month.
MT6732 is a quad core Cortex-53, while MT6752 is an octa core Cortex-A53.
MT6752 is successor of MTK6592 and will be a direct competitor of Snapdragon 615.
MT6795 isn't clear yet. Mediatek indicated it as successor of MT6595 and it probably will use both Cortex-A57 and Cortex-A53 cores with big.LITTLE architecture.

If anything and after this recent iPhone 6 Plus' unfortunate bendgate overblown or not has proven, that current tech + materials just can't cater to that demand and opens up more excuse(s) for OEMs to lower batt capacities and even worse cut more corners on a variety of functions. Why ask for something that can lower our end user ROI?
On average the majority of all mobile devices right now are light enough and most Asian women can handle phablets just fine as a rough example?

I am looking for a smaller note type phone as the galaxy series is too big for my liking. Does this phone have a good stylus?

The OS is so well developed, even the first gen Redmi is smooth to run most apps. It will not attract existing owners.
Unless it is going to have the following, then people might change their mind
- Android L
- Thinner / narrower
- 3gb RAM
- Much better battery with higher capacity
- Finger sensor / additional buttons
- Keep the price low

Looks like they made dimensions out of their eyes. Literally.
Price is totally BS with these specs by Xiaomi standards. You can get a Mi3 at same price right now. And it wouldn't be ready to launch at least a month. Maybe more.
And a couple of months from now Mi4 see it's first price cut to 1699 CNY than a couple of months more to 1499 CNY. Also probably Mi3 will hit down to 1299 CNY.
I know GA readers favors Snapdragons over Mediatek SoCs rightly in most case, but MT6595's CPU cores a lot more powerful than Snapdragon 615's even though their GPU comparable.
Xiaomi could even go 64-bit path for Redmi line with oncoming MT6795. If I'm not wrong it's pin compatible with MT6595 and will be ready in December.
