Android Phone Under 15K

B

Hello All,
Please suggest me a good Android Phone under 15k with the following specs:-

1Ghz Processor-Single Core
Screen Size More the 3.2"

Options you can consider: Motorola Defy+, Dell Venue

If you can stretch your budget, get Neo V.

This thread can help you.

B

i would be buying from mobilestore so maybe they'd less something

i did some homework and here are my top picks
1. NeoV
2. Xperia Ray
3. Defy +
4. Dell Venue
5. Desire 5
6. One V

IMO, Mobile Store has unreasonable pricing. Buy from some local store.

B

"unreasonable pricing"????

and i also have w8 which i will sell off how much will that sell for 5 months still left for guarantee to end no scratches

I don't have any idea about Venue.
And Defy+ display is not so impressive.
Ray has a small screen so no for that.
So I suggest you to get Desire S for 16k, that is the best you can get.

B

ok i may buy one of these phones in june/july so will there be a price drop??

^^ Hopefully, Yes.

B

wohoo!!

The price fall won't make you scream "wohooo". There'll be subtle price fall.

1. NeoV ---> you can consider. looks great
2. Xperia Ray ---> if you are into photography. else forget it.
3. Defy + ---> other than a rugged screen has nothing of particular interest. cheap.
4. Dell Venue ---> discontinued long ago.
5. Desire 5 ---> its S, not 5. same as Neo V but should have better build. nothing else.
6. One V ---> Only if looks matter and found within 17k. else overpriced.

replies in green.

Even I thought that Venue is discontinued by the company but right now its available on flipkart and it has also got very good reviews on flipkart. Strange but true...

it got best hardware in its class but still over 2yrs old. no OS update of any kind. Actually dell have stopped production of all mobiles as well as netbooks.

B

i have a SE W8 4 months of warantee still left, no scratches, i will give all accessories and i also have da bill with me. how much will it fetch me??

online: not even 5k. locally: 7k or maybe less.

B

how is SE Live with walkman??

It's strange that no one suggested Sony Live With Walkman retailing at 13.5k which has a 3.2" screen and a single-core 1GHz processor like the OP asked.

B

@osthe: i did plz tell me how is it??

can anyone tell me any trick by which i can trick my parents into thinking this phone has gone kaput??

Live With Walkman is a great phone, it was not suggested because of its small screen size.

B

please compare neo v with live with walkman

They can't be compared, Neo V is phone with a screen size of 3.7" while LWW has a 3.2" display.

adding 1k to your budget you get a bigger screen. Why go for LWW then?

Do you mean to say selling online will fetch a much lower resale price?? And by "locally" do you mean selling to some mobile shop?

As for SE LWW, the battery is widely reported to be quite poor. Thats the main drawback.

yup. We all know latest is Android 4.0 and X8/W8 is still on Android 2.1 with no update from Sony. Also the hardware is quite poor. If you try to sell it in any forum, starting price have to be 5k to expect a sale.

Locally you may try shops also. But usually they'll offer you even less. Cause they know W8 is discontinued now. Selling to someone directly will fetch more. say 7k.

R

Thats what - I always thought selling a mobile (any) will fetch more if you can find a direct buyer online. So why do you say this one will fetch only 5k in a forum?? One is selling directly to a user-buyer in a forum, isn't it?

HTC Desire S=15,490(with 500 coupon 14990) at EBAY :razz:

with HTC India Warranty :razz:

HTC Desire S S510e (Black) with free 8GB card. Android 2.3. | eBay

i thing htc decresed the price for desire s and incredible s
but these greedy online siteS like flipkart infibeam letsbuy dont change their price and earn huge profit

Thats a killer deal....

B

maybe i can try selling my phone here(digit forum)

posted on digit for selling waiting for people to buy

B

how much would a dual core phone cost??

cheapest one was LG Optimus 2X. Now discontinued. Now its HTC Sensation, Motorola Atrix2 & Samsung Galaxy R. All priced at 22-24k

i think under 15k.. Desire S is the best deal for u.. it has single core 1Ghz proccy..
and display is very good...

B

22-24k????? have a medicine for heart attacks?

should i go for one v or neo v???

Why Desire S better choice than Neo V ?

^^^^^^
I suggest you to get your hands on both and then the pick the one which you personally feel is better:
All the options available i.e. Incredible S, One V, Desire S, Neo V are good.
But if you want to choose one among desire S and One V then I think One V is a better pick, Neo V build quality is not so impressive otherwise the phone is very good.
If you want a good cam and a big screen then Incredible S is best for you

B

whats the price on one v??

16.5-17k

B

i am getting one v for 17,500 and selling w8 for 4k

You can easily get One V for 17k

B

in delhi?? asked local dealer he said 17,500

Yes in delhi also you can get it.
You should be good at bargaining

B

frankly speaking i dont have any skills at bargaining

heyy how is xperia u?? getting at 16,500@mobilestore

Xperia U is recently launched, so can't say much about it.
But is the only phone in that price bracket which has got a dual core processor.
Get your hands on that device, and if you like it then get it.

B

is it really for 16.5k??? but it does not have expandable memory

Xperia U has 8GB internal storage out of which only 4GB is available for the user.
It doesn't have expandable memory slot.

There must be USB on the GO feature!!!

R

arrogrant bro
plz suggest between Sony Xperia U(Rs.15900) & One V(Rs16200)

B

@raj_in: is dis the mrp u r quoting??

R

no not mrp
buying price

B

from where?? i mean city

R

online prices

B

tms(the mobilestore) website says optimus black for 17k how is it?

avoid black. has a series of problem. and it'll get ICS update when we have Android 5-6. instead go for One V, Incredible S or even Optimus 3D (just for the powerful h/w).

B

thankz for guiding me guys will tell u when i buy one v without you guys this wont be possible also my w8 is selling for just 4k is there any way i can get more than that?

To hell with both, get Xperia Sola, dual core 1GHz processor, mail 400 GPU, 265ppi 3.7" screen, floating touch, 5mp camera with sweep panoroma and 720p recording. Also support micro sd card. What more can anyone want. This beats One V easily.

Check it yourself: *www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sola-4408.php

Should be around 16-17k.

Sola for 16-17k? at least spare Sony.

B

@tkin: sola for 16-17k?? no way man it near 19

my w8 is selling for 4k y so low?

Sam should I buy Dell Venue ? I read in this thread you mentioning that it have got good hardware ?

^^^^
Its a pretty old handset,I won't recommend you to get it.
Also it won't get any OS updates....

but its AMOLED and 4.1. I have opened a new thread for my queries because reading this thread I got more confused which to buy and what not to.

Now i got interested in the Dell Venue again

Earlier when i mentioned Dell Venue someone said Dell is out of the mobile business so we should stay away. But Venue mostly has positive reviews , except for some problems like Customer Support and charging issues.

Today I visited Dell store and Dell Venue looks classy

Is the screen as good as it looks in those Video Reviews ? How bad is the Adreno 200 compared to Adreno 205 ?

As for me 4.1 crisp screen matters much more than Adreno 205. How much you will game ?

Still , what about 1080p videos ?

B

getting one v for 17,100 on thursday wohoo thankz a lot guys

^^^^
Finally you made a good decision.

B

thankz aroraant!!
