1. Budget?
25 - 30 K (Can stretch to 33K)

2. Display type and size?
Within 5.5 inches

3. Dual sim?
Not so important.

4. Preferred choice of brand?
None.

5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)?
Rear Camera specialized to shoot in low light condition with minimal and controlled noise/grains. When I am not carrying my DSLR, I will mainly use the mobile camera for candid street photography at low light without flash. The focus and capture speed should be extremely fast and accurate with aperture between f/1.7 - f/2.2.

6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc).
Android.

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

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

9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
I am open to all suggestions and recommendations

10. Any other info that you want to share
The four things my mobile can't live without are a) Camera b) SD Card slot c) Battery.

samsung S6 32GB would suffice your needs, especially for low light photography and if you need sd card slot with great camera then only Asus zenfone 3 comes in your range.

AFAIK LG G4 has a better camera than Samsung S6. BTW how is Moto Z play compared to Asus zenfone 3?

Moto Z Play camera's sample, low light is decent if not good.
