Get Xolo A500S

Looks good

If you can increase your budget little more you can get lava 406Q which got 1GB of ram and snapdragon processor and you will surely get android 4.4 with an update.

A500s is useless now. either get the 406Q or Gionee P3 (from local shops, online prices are ridiculous)

406Q for 7k but will see if i can get extra 1k from somewhere

got my extra 1k so now budget is 7k

any updates ?

M

Get Moto E or wait for Xiaomi 1S.

for 6k
Asus Zenfone 4

Moto e

Xolo Q510s
Xolo introduces Q510s – a $105 KitKat droid - GSMArena.com news

Ofcourse, ASUS Zenfone 4 is a great option @ 6k

Asus Zenfone 4

5inches screen and HD playback is all i need

asus is just 4 inch screen. still not bad but would prefer 5in one

micromax canvas? my budget is 7k now.

Redmi S1

M

Wait for Xiaomi 1S then.

how about this one?
Micromax Canvas Doodle 3 A102 with 1 GB RAM (White)

moto e is far better.

^^yeah
plus the mediatek cpu found on canvas doodle has lesser app compatibility, roms etc than the snapdragon cpu on moto e
also snapdragon cpus perform better than mediatek cpus even the dual core cpus beat mediateks quad core cpus
@ op moto e is you best bet and wont let you down

for larger screen stick to asus
canvas is really bad,even xiaomi is better in terms of performance etc

^AFAIK Mediatek chipset doesn't suffers from application compatibility like Intel.

There is no good 5 inch phone within your budget but if you can slightly increase your budget around 8.2k you can get Gionee Pioneer P4.if budget is issue then either you get moto E or wait for Xiaomi 1s.

gonna wait for Xioami 1s Thank you guys.

That's a good choice

any expected date for redmi release and how can we buy it

from what ive used mediatek is much slower and cant run normal apps half the time on my tablet
atleast intel gives decent performance and can run whatever is supported(my friends zenfone 5)
id still stick to snapdragon though

Yes, Mediatek is slower but it runs all apps without any problem.mediatek and snapdragon have both advantages and disadvantages like snapdragon processors have heating issues but they are faster while mediatek is slower does not suffer from heating issues.

ive never had any success with mediatek (could be different for other mediatek cpus,but the ones ive used and owned were very troublesome)
plus mediatek doesnt release the source so no roms or very half baked roms and lesser apps which run on it
ive never had excessive heating on snapdragon and mediatek though ive seen reports of excessive heating for both
id anyday get snapdragon though because of ROMs and great speed and compatibility

only the 8xx series snapdragon have heating problem and it is mostly due to manufacturer going for too thin of a mobile. same for mediatek 6592 aka true octacore. forcing it at full clock will again cause heating as most mobiles are slim with no proper heatsink.

^Snapdragon 200 too heats a lot.

not really,its within a good limit

blank again not sure what to do =/

Redmi 1S or Asus Zenfone 4 (4.5") is already on preorder with slightly larger battery. Check that out. But like the other model, it too will most likely have low battery backup. But other than that there isn't much to complain.

all chips heats but then they start throttling down before it gets too hot... don't check battery temps check cpu temps

Wait for xiaomi redmi 1s... Try if you can grab one

Its launching tomorrow PROBABLY

even cpu temps arent that high,its highly exagerated ,very few phones overheat notably samsung GS4 and GS5

followed by zenfone,all other phones arent worth the trouble

Asus 4 SIM Type Dual Sim, GSM + WCDMA ? second GSM won't work?

you misunderstood
wcdma and gsm are supported in both slots
you can use cdma and gsm on the phone in both slots
2 gsms or 2 cdma or 1 gsm and 1 cdma
video play should support HD imho,but wait for someone to confirm

Thats what i thought so.

Thank you. asus 4 is what i will buy next week.

No point in going for Asus Zenphone 4 now.Xiaomi 1S has been lunched for 6k.

now end up with 2 choices Asus Zenfone 4 A450CG & Micromax Canvas Doodle 3 A102 with 1 GB RAM

asus have 4.5inch & doodle have 6inch screen size. carrying 6in screen is may be not easy to carry in pocket? rest is fine by me.

M

I will suggest not to get either of them Zenphone 4 has a 1700maH battery so it will not last a single day without charging it as per micromax i will not suggest due to very bad display.

My suggestion is either get Moto E or try to get Xiaomi 1S.

K

stick to moto e and zenphone much safer buys or even moto g if you can extend

right now. Redmi 1s is on my mind :lol:

i am so confuse with this things =/

Moto is best at ASS so far in the phones mentioned

No, u can't use CDMA. WCDMA is for 3G GSM network.
So u can use GSM for 2G(EDGE) and WCDMA for 3G(HSDPA) network.

if not redmi 1s go for nokia x2 .. only con is it is on 4.3 and will require a bit of tinkering like installing play store etc.. online price is around 7.8k-8k

No its not. Again u can't use CDMA SIM(that is called RUIM) in WCDMA supported handset, though its based CDMA technology but they are different and only use for GSM network.
About Verizon, Sprint, Cricket and other CDMA provider they all use CDMA2000 network technology for IS-95, 1x, and EV-DO for 3 generations.

Moto e is the best phone under 10k
