Mountain Dew Avengers Pack (Collector's Edition)
. Amazon India shipped it through Aramex Courier. When I opened the box up one of the cans had leaked 90% and had a huge dent on one of it's sides. The contents of it had spilled and damaged the box insides entirely. The remaining 3 cans were scratched but at least they hadn't burst open!

Great purchases folks... big congrats all round! :)

This was actually bought for my younger cousin brother as he wanted them. Unfortunately due to space constraints at his apartment he was unable to keep them so they landed up back at my crib. I have them connected to my Mother's TV in her room since my personal A/V setup at home already has speakers.

1st impressions: I did try the phone at the recent Xiaomi launch event and it was impressive overall. Build quality is good. No creaks. Feels solid. The screen is now flush with the sides (unlike Mi3). Dual SIM, both LTE capable.
Phone came with about ~51% battery. Updated some 9-10 apps, shot some pics, played with the settings etc and it lost ~9% in the process (OST ~35 mins). It did heat up (but not crazily) and settled down after ~ 25 mins.
Screen is gorgeous. Better than the Mi3. Great contrast. And the sunlight feature ACTUALLY WORKS ! Below are some unedited photographs showing the same (pardon the darkness. Deficient lighting):

To mimic external light/sun, shone a torch on the sensor and you can clearly see that brightness has been increased in toto with the objects on the screen. So the keyboard brightness has been bumped up more wrt the rest of the screen. Tried with a couple of other images and the result is fab. This is awesome !

There was visible lag for the first 20-25 mins till the phone settled down. Smooth now, though I do feel Mi3 is more snappy overall (SD615 vs SD800).
MIUI Lollipop is great and the statusbar colors change matching the background app.
Camera is at par with Mi3, clicking crisp pics. HDR mode is the same as well (pics attain a grainy look).
Thinner than Mi3, thinner bezels, bigger LED. I prefer the back of Mi3 though. Buttons are a tad too flush with the body, and they need a firm press as opposed to those of Mi3 (I prefer the Mi3 buttons).
Will be updating with more info as I use it.
