+1 to Redmi 2. Get Yuphoria if you want even better phone.

There seems to be no need for a 4G phone considering India's scenario

Redmi 2 is a good option

If you want good A.S.S too, then Moto G 2nd gen might be a better choice, camera is better in Redmi 2
BTW Moto G 3rd gen will be released at this month end.

If you want a camera better than Redmi 2, check Honor 4C

screen resolution 480 x 854 :rofl:
2 point multitouch :lol:
Spreadtrum SoC :rofl:

A Second hand Moto G (1st gen) would be much better at 4-5k.

Xiaomi may not have good A.S.S, but Redmi 2 isn't a problematic device. It has good build quality, so nothing will happen on accidental drops.

Redmi 2 @ 6k should be sufficient for your dad

Otherwise Honor 4C...... Huawei has better service presence all over India

Redmi 2 is a good phone considering price tag of 6k.After sales service is similar to most brands. Before buying I suggest you to check if Xiaomi service centre are are near your place.

Yuereka plus is coming with better cam and full HD screen for 10k.

I like Honor 4C.... but no 4G included

What will you do with 4G???
It will take atleast 2 years for full implementation in all cities

Now only airtel has 4G in 5-6 cities, i guess
Also owning a broadband connection is more value for money than a high speed low data 4G plans

I prefer feature proof...that's why select include 4G..!!!

I think 2 years is too much for expansion....Reliance Jio will release in December after that trend will change...!!!

forget about after sales with huawei and xiaomi
also huawei has cut rate cpus and poor quality
frankly get a Lumia or a Moto instead , dont buy such "make it or break it" products for your dad
get something thats proven to last and guaranteed stability

Lets hope for good service at low cost from Jio

If mic not need, check Cowon EK2 or Sennheiser CX180(I own it & love it, much better than soundmagic ES18)

Tekfusion twinwoofers is a better option than those two
