1. Budget? 9000 to 11000 INR

2. Display type and size? 4.5 inch to 5 inch, Should not be big in size

3. Dual sim? Not necessary

4. Preferred choice of brand? Any, with good VFM and Support

5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? Flash required,

6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). Android

7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 3G

8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? Primary use is calling, too many calls, others are secondary

9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? S3 Neo, Moto g2

10. Any other info that you want to share

I want this phone for my office purpose, on which I recieve too many callss in a day, So battery should be good enough to handle all these things, must have good and loud sound quality and good camera, viewing angle is also important. Its urgent Will be buying tomorrow.. How is the battery perfformance of s3 Neo?

Yureka @ 9k

Get Moto E2 4G or Yu Yureka.

Seriously ????
OP wants max 5" screen size......... Not everyone buys a big phone..... Size is also an important factor

I would advise against S3 Neo, its old..........

Check these:
Micromax Canvas Nitro A311 vs Asus Zenfone 5 A501CG vs Moto G (2nd Gen): Compare Mobiles: Flipkart.com

Moto G2 is good enough for you......... Canvas Nitro is also a good buy, has 2GB RAM, much better camera but no Lollipop update yet

Yureka @ 9k

I tried it but seems me very large for my uses. Thats why I am not considering it.

Get Moto E2 4G or Yu Yureka.

I love oto Phones but, E2's Camera, They can have at least Flash with it.

Yes, Actually I wil use it too much for calling, so it should be handy.

No to Zenfone for Battery Life. Moto G 2nd Gen sounds Good.
Can you please tell me about battery backup of Nitro A311

Take a look at newly announced lenovo a6000 plus too..

Seems to fulfill most of my requirements of compact size & I'll save ~5k over he moto g2.

I'll be going for this whenever it launches until there's something else too by then.

Only Micromax phone worth considering is Yureka because of the SoC and Cyanogenmod support.

Nitro has average battery life........ FYI zenfone 5 has better battery life than my N4

I guess both G2 & zenfone 5(A6000 too) have same battery life, approx

You can simply buy A6000 @ 7k & save few bucks and maybe get a 15k phone after a year of use???

I have Nitro A311. Average battery life but crappiest ringer. You will end up missing hundreds of calls. Will not even know if its ringing in your pocket. Otherwise it is reasonable.

A6000 Plus will go on sale soon....... It has same specs but with 2GB RAM & 16GB internal storage for just 7.5k, which seems great....

In flipkart many people complained about too much used up RAM in A6000, so I guess 2GB RAM is great.

will be good as per specifications on paper/comparing your needs..
don't buy samsung mobile below 25K or 30K, not value for money..

other upcoming devices : you can consider
Lenovo K3 Note
Micromax Yu Yuphoria
Lenovo K3
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE550ML
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE500CL

Lumia 640 blows the competition as an all rounder device for the price
you want something powerful but are willing to lose out on camera quality,after sales etc in comparison,then there Yureka

personally I feel the 640 is best for your needs

Thats a false accusation
I do prefer windows phone but I only recommend based on needs
I do suggest android handsets as well in my posts if you notice
in fact I rarely recommend windows phones

Battery What I want is great in L640. RUnning smooth. I used to thought WP is complicated, and dull. But instead it is very smooth and good OS. form factor is also good I Liked it. Apps Availability and customization is a problem, But as I do not need Customization and will not use too many apps. So it will Be a good choice for me.
Thank You all Folks. I will move to L640.
