Till date i dint have saw Xperia E but what about burst

Warranty is my first priority dude, followed by good display

Nerevarine said:
How many service centers of Pantech burst are there in India ? :S

I forgot

you can also check Lava XOLO B700. ships with a massive 3450 mAH battery.

Waaaaaaaaaaaraaaaanty is my first policy dude ... Local warranty probably sucks (MMX, Karbonn and Lava)

^ bhai itni badi warranty toh aapko kahi bhi ni milegi

lol seriously now ? any other options ?

D

gud warranty+ low budget+ great specs isn't an option.....
If u r OK with lava then go 4 b700

You want for your cousin then get him Acer tab iconia b1 you have to pay 7.9K it will be best of both worlds.

Your welcome bro please update this thread after your purchase.
But i think a tab will be a good choice btw how old he is?

21, but he still uses a crappy nokia handset.. I think an android phone is still a better choice for him..
I just want to know how huawei service is.. I know they are FAR above our local companies but in the real world, how is their service quality ?
IF I get positive feedback, then Ill get the Y300

D

Have a look @ lenovo a690 for 6.8k

256Mb ram, Android 2.3. Galaxy Young should be the second choice. 3.3" HVGA resolution, Android 4.1, Cortex A5 from Broadcom + Videocore 4 GPU. Not the best but at this price better than any Samsung/LG/Sony under 10k.

Xperia E has 512 mb ram whereas galaxy young 786 MB.

^^^ who told that :lol:

i m using galaxy y 786MB RAM :rofl:

*i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a595/shreymittal/SC20130407-200206_zps1402a4cc.png

Young has a 240x320 resolution, whereas E has 320x480 but STILL im more inclined towards the Huawei ..
It seems like a replica of Karbonn A9+
Also as it is coming from Huawei, source code should be available..
All I need to know is HOW bad/good is huawei warranty
EDIT: Young also has HVGA

Looks like im gonna lean over to the Galaxy Young.. still need a few more days todecide tho..

In the budget of OP galaxy young is the best.

@nervarine what happened man about Acer Iconia B1

cant get a tab dude, he uses a crappy nokia asha.. He deserves an android phone lol

Then get Xperia E

Galaxy Young > Xperia E. Though Xperia E has a bigger display, Young has more ram. Videocore 4 is faster than Adreno 200 (needs confirmation but pretty sure it is). more internal memory, cheaper and lastly dual sim. Still Huawei Y300 beat both Young as well as E.

So finally what do you suggest ? Y300 or Galaxy Young ?
Y300 beats both of them in ALL aspects..
Good display, Good Camera, Good Processor.. etc etc

well y300 sure seems to be a better choice :wink:
