Don't go for galaxy ****..
Xperia M is solid for 13k budget... [price will come down soon]
Xperia M having Adreno 305... way way better than samshit...

Thank u guys for replying.....
any other mobile (samsung,mmx,sony) in competition with xperia M....
does any one have bought xperia M ??

Check out the XOLO Q700. There was a review www.thinkdigit.com/Mobiles-PDAs/Xolo-Q700-Review_14852.html on the thinkdigit site too.

For a girl, Lumia 520 should be a stylish phone & should be sufficient.........

In Android, Xperia M is a powerful & great phone for budget

U'r welcome

n heating and hanging problems could only be known from user reviews, and this will take a couple of weeks for these review to come as the phone has just arrived.

when i said 14k then it was just to calm her down but then i used the trick that only black color is available (i knew she will reject) so she gave me some time to arrange for purple color

BTW she didnt had complete money but rakshabandhan made her day

@veb thanks bro will give hand on review when i get the phone

P.S. ordered XOLO Q600 for another sister (relative) ... this time i was lucky not to pay anything her husband would pay

I personally like XOLO phones. Have experience with two of them, Q800, and A500. Good enough to recommend to other people.

P.S. : Xolo Q800 runs better than Galaxy Note original

Yeah, in ur budget Q800 is really good phone...

Thank u guys .. i will look for Xolo Q800, still i doubt about their build quality...... As my sister is going to use and "handle with care" term does not apply to her..

.so i have to look at the durability of the phone too..

Nice choice ... my mom owns the black one and its build is awesome... great in-hand feel.

+1 to Q800. My sister has.

If you want quality, then go for Xperia M. It has a very reasonable price.

Here is the ebay link. Apply 500rs ebay off coupon. You will get phone for 11,500. You will get a phone with Snapdragon S4 pro, which has 2 krait cores. Better than Q800, in my opinion.

If you haven't bought the phone already, I deeply suggest you to go for Xperia M.
