Hi,

I want to buy Android phone. Please find answers to questionair below.

1. Budget? >> 12K
2. Display type and size? >> 4.5" to 5.0"
3. Form Factor? bar, slider, flip? >> any
4. Preferred choice of brand? >> not specific brand, but should be reliable and good call quality.
5. Preferred input method (QWERTY, touchscreen, numpad, touch-n-type). >> Any
6. What camera option you want? Please specify need for flash, autofocus, front facing camera. >> 8MP minimum with flash and auto focus. Front facing camera not so important. But rear camera is important. I like good camera phones but my budget is only 12K.
7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc). >> Android.
8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly. >> 3G,Wifi
9. Preferred applications (Flash, Swype, GPS, etc)? >> Any
10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)? >> Camera, internet.
11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
12. Any other info that you want to share. >> Apart from camera, I want good battery backup. I do not want to buy uni body phone. I am thinkining of buying removeable battery. Please suggest a phone which will give best value for money and reliablity. I am confused between Xolo Q1000 and Lava Iris 504Q. If it has custom ROM supprt then good. One final question is it really worth to by Xolo Q1000 or should I buy Q700, but Q700 has only 5MP camra. Please give your suggestions.

Prefer good camera ? -> Huawei Ascend P1
Prefer powerful chipset ? -> Xperia M

Dont go for desi brands, they have non existent custom ROM support.. Invest a little more and go for Xperia L if you can

Thanks for reply. Huawei Ascend P1 has no powerful battery and its not removable battery. Otherwise it was perfect phone for me

You realise you have little choice other than desi brands based upon all your requirements ? Id suggest you extend and buy Xperia L or something similar at that range
