Considering the fact that there was a lot of air around the phone being launched at a price of around 10000/- whereas its actually priced at a lower range, which might give it an edge over the competition as today’s price-conscious generation, especially in the budget phone segment, thinks about every penny spent.

8990/- 3GB RAM/32GB Storage, 10990/-, 4GB RAM/64GB Storage 9999/- 3GB RAM/ 32GB Storage, 11999/- 4GB RAM/64GB Storage 9999/- 3GB RAM/ 32GB Storage, 11999/- 4GB RAM/64GB Storage

It will be available exclusively on Flipkart in Diamond Black and Diamond Red color options starting September 4. The Diamond Blue color option will be made available for sale sometime in October.

Well, comparing all the aspects, it definitely seems like a promising phone in the budget segment and fares better than the Honor 7c overall, but yes, it does face some stiff competition from RedMi Note 5 pro in terms of features, but when it comes to price point, it may score well and who knows it gen z accepts it with open arms.
