Android Phone upto Rs. 12K

Hello Friends :)

As from the title you may came to know that I want to purchase an Single Sim Android phone with the specified budget.
My needs were online activities, playing games often, good music and looks along with the other uses of phone.
The phone in my mind is Sony Xperia L for the time being.
Please do not suggest Indian brands like - Micromax,Karbonn,Xolo etc. as we have service centers issues here in my area.
I personally not like Motorola G as much :rolleyes:
So please suggest any other phone in your view according to the requirements and budget.
Thanks a lot :!:

Xperia M is best for you...........

I don't think you'll get Xperia L for 11k...... if u are getting one then its anytime better than Xperia M

under 10k you have Lenovo A680. Xperia L cost more than 14k but only other mobile worth checking under 15k is Moto G which you don't like. so XL it is. or you may wait for Xperia M2.

12. Any other info that you want to share - I've also heard that like Xperia M2 , Sony may launch L1 or L2 in coming days. Is it true. And how about Xperia E1 ?
Should I wait for L1 or L2 or go for Xperia L as I've checked this at ebay Sony XPERIA L - Buy Sony XPERIA L - 8GB - Black Smartphone online -ebay.in and now I'm considering to extend my tight budget a bit further to 1K more.

Thanks Again.

First Things First :
There is no Xperia L1 or L2 that will be launched in the coming days.. A successor to Xperia L will be launched ( time - unknown) but it will be priced around 16k-17k.
Xperia M2 will be launched very soon & it will be around 20k.
So both will be out of budget.

I think Xperia E1 would not be suitable for gaming ( which is listed in your primary use) due to its low ram & processor.

I would suggest Motot G, but it seems you are not fond of it..so, If you are getting Xperia L in your budget, go for it !

Note :
Xperia L>Xperia M !

Remember, that Xperia L from eBay has seller warranty & not manufacturer warranty i.e you just can't get it serviced for free in any Sony shop if a problem arises

Okay Before going ahead , I'l make a market research by visiting selling shops and would inquire about it's market price and warranty terms etc.
I can wait for 3-4 more days for that.

Well nobody here advocated for Xperia L over Moto G ... How could a year old phone would surpasses newly launched smartphone.
Xperia L only leads Moto G over price issue , nothing else :twisted:
