Within Windows 8- the HTC 8S
Within Android if willing to go upto 21-22k- then HTC One S or Xperia P, at 20k- Atrix2, Xperia Sola or Galaxy S Advance

^^

Xperia Sola not recommended as RAM is only 512MB.

Also why is Optimus L9 left out? Specs are better than most than the phones you mentioned. click this

Aryan, i hope you get manufacturer warranty with that in ebay, not seller warranty.
FYI- It is available for 20429 in Tradus and 21000 in Infibeam, with manufacturer warranty

My bad, should have included

WP8 - HTC Windows Phone 8S
Android - HTC Desire X or HTC Desire SV

P.S you should change the name of the thread...little misleading

The Xperia P which available for around 17k on ebay is without manufacturer warranty.
The best option for you is HTC One S which costs between 22-23k

A

1. Samsung Galaxy S Advance(JB update soon)
2. HTC Desire X(no front camera)
3. Xperia Series... I don't know much about it
4. XOLO X900: Interesting choice ...great resolution

P

So, is Samsung Galaxy S Advance the best choice for phones under 20k?

^^^
Desire X is a better option, rather that also I would recommend anyone to buy One S for around 22-23k

htc one s would be a great deal in 22k...ebay
