Oplus has launched the XonPhone 5 in India at an initial price tag of Rs. 7,999 and it is available exclusively through Snapdeal. It is an affordable smartphone in the sub 10,000 price range and it can easily compete with Motorola Moto E, Micromax Unite 2 A106, Lava Iris X1, Asus Zenfone 4 and Xiamo Redmi 1S. At the launch event, I managed to spend some time with XonPhone 5 smartphone and based on that time, I’m sharing first impressions with the device.
