1. Budget?
20k

2. Display type and size?
IDK about type but should be full HD and good quality.

3. Dual sim?
not needed.

4. Preferred choice of brand?
none.

5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)?
flash, don't care about front.

6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc).
Must be Android(will be using for testing my apps).

7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready).
Must be 4G ready.

8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?
multimedia, internet,casual gaming and application development.

9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML,
[STRIKE]OneplusOne [/STRIKE](low in call volume and bad ASS) and
Huawei Honor 6 or Plus (bit out of my budget, but can increase my budget if it really worth it.)


10. Any other info that you want to share.
I am not interested in Weight or mobile body design or sound quality (speakers quality) or camera quality.
Will be using mostly for development and internet and normal routine use.
Screen color quality should be good.
Call sound must be good.(some phones have good main speakers but low volume during calls )

Thanks

Go for Zenfone 2. For your primary tasks, even the 2 GB ram version of ZE551ML should do good.

So you want a phone with a good display and good call quality, you have 20k budget and you want to purchase those 3 phones?

Sorry, but I just came here to give you best of luck.

Get zenphone 2 4gb variant.

Thanks
zenphone 4gb looks best for my requirements so far.
Just wanted to know few things about it :
1. It has heating issues like older zphones ?
2. Is their any compatibility issues with intel proc and android apps ?
3. Is this correct model :*www.flipkart.com/asus-zenfone-2-ze551ml

Any other phone , in case it don't come in stock within 10 days and in case I go for screen size upto 5" (5.5" looks bit large)

You either lack knowledge of "Phones" or you just decided to reply without reading my requirements properly.

Really Honor 6 & Zenfone 2(if no problem with design) are good..... What turns you off about them ??

@OP..... If you don't want camera quality, then don't go for Honor 6 plus..... But Honor 6 seems good for the price with decent battery life & camera

Zenfone 2 is also a good choice

5 inch variant is not that great. Wait for the 4gb variant to stock up it is truly worth the money and so is the 1080p panel.

I added those phones based on raw specs only. Any other phone suggestion is also welcome.
BTW honor 6 is not 4g ready so can't pick that.
zenphone 2 is still out of stock with no idea when it will be back and I can't find any user reviews based on actual usage.

I am not interested in your financial problems.Well at least I laughed a little on this stupid reply.
If you wants to suggest a phone then just put it's name with brief info, any further childish reply like previous ones will be ignored.

Zenfone 2 4GB variant is the best for your budget. Gionee Elife S7 is another option.

It's not out of stock technically. They haven't started selling it yet and are building the stock up.

Here is GSMArena's review of Zenfone 2 if you're interested.

I never used phones with non removable batteries , anyone can tell me what happen when battery dies and you need replace.
Can we replace battery manually or needs to send phone to company for that ?
zenfone 2 have non removable battery.

^ How long are you planning to use the phone? By the time the battery dies, you'll probably be on the look out for another phone.

If the battery dies prematurely, then it's likely that the phone's defective and you should be able to get it repaired under warranty.
