I'm not new to smart phones, used xperia x10, sgs, xperia m, xperia x3, xperia u,sgs3,lumia 520...

1. Budget?
5-8k

yep.
4. Preferred choice of brand?
only reputed brands
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)?
good back cam
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?
CALLS,CAMERA,WHATSAPP
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
PANASONIC P55 FOR 7699, ZENFONE 5 FOR 7999,

Need the "best battery life" with strong body+screen+call quality
moto e has weak display. zenfone 5 has weak battery but string specs, panasonic p55 good and premium but no proper reviews, not a international model
huawei honor holly looks very old &cheap

my xperia m is a role model, battery lasts for 1.5 days with auto brightness location based - wifi and data in 2g only frequently on, many calls too

Redmi 1s or Honor is what i suggest you then.

+1 to Redmi 1s

Also look at Lenovo A6000 4G.

NO Chineese crap. no honor as it looks very cheap.
registered for Lenovo A6000 4G....what about battery life & lollipop?

Lenovo is chinese as well :lol:

No idea about battery life and lollipop.

You want something from a "better" OEM? get Asus Zenphone 5/Moto G.

I'm on the same boat. Want to gift my wife an android. My requirements are same as kARTechnology. I want an android with good battery back up and good if not best sound quality through earphones. My point of reference is MI3 which I'm currently using.
Asus zen phone has very poor battery life. My colleague is using a zenphone. He is barely managing 18-16 hrs battery backup. Please recommend.

Moto is your best bet,dont expect much from this price range,every phone will be lacking in some regard

a hathi mera sathi power bank is ur best bet for this, i guess.

good idea..the phone is for my friend
increases the expenditure of the phone for a person who is using a samsung dumbphone of 1.5k

Well, look at my lumia 520 owners post. I have explained

^^ well just because you didnt like it doesnt its bad
some of us dont like the unnecessary complexity of android and prefer ios or windows phone
dont impose your opinions on others like that
out of those points only point #2 was a geniune concern,rest were overrated and vague because its purely your opinion,not applicable to everyone

I have used lummia 520...it may seem good, but it fell down from 3 floors and screen broke...I replaced it after a month power button gone(poor design of the button internally)....now using camera button...signal receiption poor...back cover easily comes off and if it falls, battery alos goes in different directions...use can't use a case to protect is mostly as that also comes off if you tap the phone from back

Xperia m fell down from 1st floor in duplex house. nothing happened.
screen is with a 100rs scratch guard and nothing broke. using a S-LINE TPU case.

do you understand the meaning of situational
just because one person had a certain issue doesnt mean everyone else had it
my 720 has been extremely durable for me
my dads 720 was not so lucky and broke within 6 months
yet i dont go around saying its a fragile phone

My dad Lumia 920 has slipped many times and even has taken a lot of beating but that thing is still a hammer.

I'm looking for a 5k to 8k phone as well. Any other alternative to Lenovo A6000? With a bigger battery backup perhaps.

A

Redmi Note, but then a little more stretch in the budget!
