A friend of mine is getting this new unbelievable phone "Micromax A116 Canvas HD"
for 250AUD (from India)….she travels a lot to India so any damage/fixing –
warranty related things are not an issue for me.

Here are some specifications of the phone:

5-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 1280 X 720
Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7
Display Type IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
Size 720 x 1280 pixels, 5.0 inches (~294 ppi pixel density)
Dual-SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi hotspot
GPS with GLONASS and A-GPS
Bluetooth with A2DP
8MP rear camera with LED flash with night mode and 4X zoom, and VGA front
4GB of internal storage and supports microSD card up to 32GB

At first blush it looks alright, but…

2G Network GSM 900 / 1800 - SIM 1 & SIM 2
3G Network HSDPA 2100

Yeah, single band 3G network == very poor 3G connectivity.

But price/performance wise this is pretty good.

I'd say yes, but 4GB(1.77 GB user available) can be a let down for apps. 8MP camera means nothing, you need to look at reviews.

  add back resale value (perhaps 50%?) of a nexus in 2-3 years and you'll be in front with the nexus.
  
  buy once. buy quality.

Nexus 4 is $349 for the 8GB, $399 for the 16GB and add $20 for shipping.

I purchased one myself and can safely say that it is by far one of the best phones I have used, and definitely value for money. Is it worth spending $100 more than what this phone costs? I can't say for sure, but I'd probably say that the build quality, parts quality etc are probably superior in the Nexus 4 compared to this phone

    From Google.

    You have to wait until there is a full moon in the quarter of Aquarius, and then slaughter a brindled calf at the foot of a treeless hill in a place where the grass does not grow. After you festoon yourself with the bloody entrails of the calf, log on to the Google store and say an incantation while entering your credit card details.
    
    Even then, it can be touch and go.

  Hahaha, I like how you just copied and pasted what TheAviator1992 said above and added a few spam links, then replaced Nexus 4 with your no-name phone thats apparently more 'superior'.
