A few note 3 reviews do talk about the heating issue but anyways you wouldn't get it with 35K.
iOS 8 has been announced this week and it could be worth the wait till it lands in India. If not iOS, get the Nexus 5, simple yet powerful.

LG G2 comes within 35k? i thought Nexus 5 was at <34k, so LG G2 which is similar to N5 but with higher battery, higher res camera must be @ higher price.

What about Xperia Z1?

its good but the viewing angles on sony phones is bad, and i dont want to open taps every time i want to attach something to the phone. does it have flash?

+1 to lg g2

Any chance of the G2s price dropping after the release of G3? Maybe below 30k?

just curious question - in case of LG G2, do we have to pick the phone every time we want to reduce the volume? because the buttons are at the back, while N5 has it on sides.

How many times do you reduce the volume?
Also No.. Using knock on you can turn the screen on. And the status bar has volume slider. So you can reduce it from there.

Camera has the option to set volume buttons for zoom/capture.

i am trying to imagine how to do that, when those keys are with the camera

Its pretty easy, as a guy with big hands i keep my middle finger on the volume rocker. can press any of them easily

I would suggest Z1C for a compact phone, otherwise G2, but 16GB storage might be an issue
