It is _slightly_ improved.

The XZ already does the low light/high speed. Much cheaper, f2.0 vs f2.2 glass, and has a headphone jack.

This is puzzling. One day we are told 95% of indian engineers cannot code, and the other day India has huge number of highly skilled hackers.

They are actually not highly skilled. They are slightly elevated from "script kiddies". It's just that the rest of us are too stupid to take security seriously. Who is more foolish? The fool or the fool that follows him?

There is a Supreme Court Case where the court said traffic stops must be dangerous because a large number of police officers are injured every year while performing traffic stops. But the logic is bad. Without knowing how many total traffic stops there are you cannot really look at the risk of performing one.

Similarly, even if 95% of engineers cannot code, they can still have more good engineers if there are enough of them--or can have more decent engineers working on this particular set of problems.

It's also worth pointing out that (1) there are a lot of great Indian engineers who are not in India, (2) the 95% number you are pointing to was done by a company with an incentive to skew it one way, and (3) the people finding the bugs may not be a great match for the ideal job candidate but still have basic hacking skills.

why not get something like http://www.gadgetsnow.com/tech... for less than $14?
"taking pre-orders for the smartphone with a promised delivery date of May 2...The amateurish-looking Docoss' website asks buyers to book the smartphone via an SMS. Even a real photograph of the phone is missing...There is also very little information about the company on the website."

If you wanted a cheap phone in India, why not get something like http://www.gadgetsnow.com/tech... for less than $14?
Or this for less than $4?

There's no shortage of cheap and/or government subsidised phones in India.
