best gaming phone under 7k

T

hello guyz need your help again

thank you guyz

Get Xiaomi Redmi 1S or Huwaie honour holly .

S

it's impossible to beat redmi 1s in performance at sub 7k range,but it will be like playing a gamble first online flash sales are **** and if your phone wrecks the good luck with claiming warranty,other than that get an android one phone cos it doesn't come with an extra UI slapped onto it so they are inherently faster than other phones with similar performance.

T

does huawei or xiaomi have good after sale service.

and in xiaomi is the data being uploaded to Chinese server being sorted out or still privacy is at risk.

- - - Updated - - -

android one have very less internal memory i guess it will concern me for installing more games, might make me limited ...

K

just get Moto E,Redmi 1s or Asus Zenfone eyes closed

+1 to Redmi 1s.

A BIG NO to Redmi 1s, if you planning it for Gaming, the heating issue is resolved, but this phone is pathetic in gaming, in my office there are more than 10 redmi 1s and also my brother has one, it does not play games well, lags like a sub 4k phone,

camera and sound is excellent, but no for gaming with this one. The issue with this phone is that the specification is great for the price, but it could have been better if they would have used an android version without too much modified UI, it makes phone slower, better look for something else, i dont know if there is any custom rom for this one, if there is, check how it works with that, and then decide,

Also note, that all i mentioned above are on latest update, but phone is no good for gaming

Redmi 1s still heats up even with normal tasks.
IMO all phones heat up if you play games.
You cannot expect huge performance with cheap phones.
You need to set lower expectations from these devices.

Moto E is worth checking out as well and handles most games pretty impressively

Huwaie holly has 16GB internal memory so it will let you install large games.

T

used zenfone 4 but it heats a lot even with temple run,

holly seems to be really very nice,saw some gaming reviews and it seems to perform well.
anyone used it...??

how many ups for honor holly,

K

huwaei isnt that great imho
updates are questionable,custom roms are questionable and after sales and quality wont be that great
id give even redmi 1s a +10000 over Huwaei
stick to Moto E and Redmi 1s
xiaomi seems to be listening to users now,initially it was the same situation as huwaei is in now,xiaomi seems to be improving their issues recently

M

Huwaie has much better ASS than Xiaomi,most of people don't bother with custom rom and regarding quality you can't question huwaie they are much better in this regard.

Read somewhere they are providing android updates.

must have read here: want latest android? buy our upcoming android device says Huawei.

the company promises that customers can “expect superior hardware with the latest software going forward.”

K

huawei has the same issues as xiaomi in ASS
no proper service centres
they have to order parts from abroad etc and it takes over a month for simple problems
just see complaintbox.in for further proof

T

now im confused whch way to go

NO to moto e bcoz it lacks a front camera

confused between redmi n honor holly :-o

all phones will heat
while redmi 1s heats up a bit more than normal its still an excellent phone and the latest update seems to have reduced the issue

Redmi 1s is still known for its heating issues.

M

@Op before buying anything i suggest you to watch reviews on youtube then decide.Within your budget there is huwaie honour holly,karbonn sparkel V and Moto E if you don't care about camera.
I would not suggest Redmi 1S though it is a good phone but it has many issues like build quality,heating issue,call quality and ram management.
Rest is upto you.

yep but if hes keen on a "gaming phone"its the best bet he has i guess
otherwise theres always Moto E which is the safest bet in this category

- - - Updated - - -

those saying karbonn ,huawei are better than xiaomi.....what?? I would say xiaomi is any day better than karbonn,micromax,huawei in terms of build quality,heating,call quality and ram management
If you really want to suggest something safer and better to buy than xiaomi overall its the Moto E or even Zenfone not crappy products like karbonn etc
stick to Moto E,Redmi 1s or zenfone depending on preference, all other phones in this category are not worth it

@Kkn I don't want to start a war but Kkn stop behaving like you know it all and every one here is dumb.Xiaomi is very new to india and people are saying no parts are available in xiaomi service center till now.Huwaie on other hand started selling their phone around 2012 and they have come a long way since then.
Xiaomi 1S was a good phone when no good alternatives were available it is even same with moto E and Snapdragon 400 alone can't make a phone good softwares does matter too.No one can deny that MIUI v5 is very buggy.

Don't underestimate Android one devices they uses google certified hardwares and stock rom and have much smoother and responsive UI,Better battery backup yes even with 1700 Mah battery it can last one day with medium use.

And zenphone 4 it got worst battery backup can't last a day.

I have seen micromax android 1 phone, Redmi 1s and Moto E and if I had to compare I would get moto E though it doesn't have the best camera in this range but what it offers it is absolutely worth it.

R

Moto e or Spice Android One Dream.

I have moto e, gaming performance and built quality is excellent.

Redmi 1s is a complete no it doesn't perform well. It has ram issues and app force closes.

Moving on, what kind of price segments are you targeting in India?
We’re not looking at segmentation. We’re looking for these magic price points. We’re not actively saying that let’s make a device that we can sell for say Rs 18,999. Xiaomi has two kinds of devices, one is the high-end absolutely uncompromised Mi family and then there’s the Redmi family, which is high-end but with some compromises.

Buy anything but not Redmi 1s

@ minion i happen to have a lot of friends who keep buying new products etc and some even own their own shops
sadly India is full of gullible people who wont research before buying and end up something just because it looks better on paper and regret later
as for quality huawei<<<<xiaomi , i have seen the xiaomi redmi 1s and huawei honor in my friends hands,the xiaomi redmi 1s is an excellent handset,cant say the same for huawei products or even xiaomi mi3
also calling MIUI buggy is kinda wrong when you compare it to huawei's even buggier ROM
if theres a perfect software phone in this price range its the Moto E,stock android is the best android experience
also huawei ships with unnecessary bloat,xiaomi also does but not as much as huawei
Moto's "bloat" is actually rather useful and well made
android one is bad,firstly it uses mediatek cpus which dont support alot of apps,roms etc
secondly android one oems like micromax,spice and karbonn are pathetic and well known brands for issues with their phones and service centre,if you want proof the forums are full of people having issues with service
Moto has the best service in this lot
zenfone 4 battery life isnt as bad as you like to think,my friend has one after his S3 suffered a major fall and shattered
it easily lasts him a day
i dont think xiaomi,Moto and huawei battery life will be any more than the zenfone 4
also comparing battery capacity in an android phone is pointless
my cousins moto e and my nexus 5 both have 2000mah batteries but despite this my nexus 5 gets nearly double the battery life of the moto e
so next time before calling me smart and others fools etc and giving such dialogues , you should know that I get to interact with alot of devices on a daily basis in some way or another so I have an excellent insight into alot of handsets etc and know all their pros and cons

guyz relax its all just a matter of opinion and experience,its great to see you guying helping me a lot thank you.

thanx for all your help but did anyone used lava iris fuel 50 seems to be nice as redmi 1s and honor holly both are now hard to get due to stock issue

avoid Lava at all costs thats even worse

I suggest you wait for restock or get Moto E or some of the other mentioned phones instead

not even worth considering

BTW geekbench noted a trial run of moto e 2014 (probably). Looks to me that the next iteration is coming out soon.

yeah i think op should wait for january or something if possible,a 2nd gen Moto E is obviously incoming given that Moto X 2014 and Moto G 2014 are already out now

That is what the doctor ordered as far as purchase is concerned from my point of view.

thanq all of u for helping me out

I think so that you should go for the huawei honor holly, if it comes with the stock android. The problem with the Xiaomi redmi 1s is that it has poor ram management, so it becomes difficult for the phone to handle high end games (I am a Redmi 1s user). If your purpose is only gaming, then you should definitely go with the Micromax Unite 2(8gb) it handles larger games smoothly and with no lags at all.

K

^op already got his amswers a month ago,also i wouldnt recommend MMX and Huawei over say a Moto or some other brand
even if you would have suggested Yureka,i would still have agreed
