I have been waiting for this phone for so long. Am getting it right now.
You should definitely get it.
Kevlar backcover, 2GB Ram, 13MP and an octacore 2.0Ghz are quite impressive features but I doubt it will overtake the Infinix Hot and Hot Note in sales with that price tag
It might sell well but am not sure it will overtake the Hot Note. Keep in mind that it costs almost twice as much and in a price sensitive market like Kenya, this makes a big difference.
