Most phones have decent call volume, but do check reviews online...... If a phone has low in call volume, then it would be mentioned as a con

Yuphoria is also worth the wait

i am told thay cynogen has had issues with phone hangups.are such phones with dazzling specs like 13 mp camera etc really reliable in the long run.i think a 8 mp front cam with flash should be good enough for me

CM does have bugs ive seen on my friends Yureka and OPO before
Dont fall for specs on paper,just because its 13mp or 8mp on paper doesnt mean its better than the rest

CM always has bugs. That is the reason people use it and never get satisfied with it.

i got my moto g 2 damaged screen replaced by a local screen on the assurance of the local mobile repairer however the phone has more or less gone kaput.the moto service centre now asks me abt 5.5 k for the screen plus repairs and if i add 3 k i spent on the duplicate screen the maths adds to abt 9k.hence i feel its better to buy a new phone in that money rather thn invest on the now practically dead moto g2.hence my query to lok for a phone upto abt 9 K or even less,dont want fancy high tech stuff with blazing specs but do want space to comodate apps and a ok camera system

A6000+ seems good for u. My only gripe with it being omission of a few necessary sensors.

And of course gorilla glass, but I think I could do without it.

Other good option would be zenfone 5. (1.2 ghz for better battery).

Cyanogen bashing by non cyanogen users.

I admit I had my phone hung up a few times ( as in 4-5 times overall ) in the last couple of months i've been using the Yureka but it is a price im willing to pay for the nice experience I get using the phone.

Micromax Yuphoria might be a good option if user reviews look positive.

And I am openly anouncing I thoroughly despise the Lumia series, it feels miserable with all the lack of proper apps and missing functionalities in the popular apps as well, no wonder prices of most models come down to half of it launch price within months. Just my personal opinion.
