are you seriously suggesting an ancient mobile? thats really old.

Saholic is a reliable one.

most complains are about saholic. cheap price always have a catch.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus

if he has never used a smartphone before he'll be happy but this one is the crappiest mobile one can waste money on. crap from every side.

Ya I know its old but OP don't want to consider any other brand, and this one is far better than the available Samsung ones.
So there is no other better option for him.

I remember a person on TDF only who bought a mobile from there.
And after all it is powered by spice, I don't think one need to worry much about it.
Its not like the prices are cheap so they there will be some problem, consider tradus, they are pretty good and they are selling Explorer for 8k.

yes and it feels sad that most still go for such an overpriced mobile paying 16-17k in the local market when SL is better at same price.

sorry, i mixed Sulekha and Saholic. Saholic is trusted. Sulekha is not.
