Lg l90
Far better option
Good camera and knock code, ir blaster and many more
EBay is offering it for the cheapest (contradictory but yes, even low than flipkart!)

I would suggest you to go for Moto G 16 GB version.
Some sellers on eBay are selling imported versions of phones (without valid warranty in India) for cheap. Make sure you read the fine print if you do decide to buy from eBay. As far as Lumia 625 is concerned, IMO Lumia 720 is a much better option, 625's display quality is utter crap.

Moto G is history now don't buy it there is much better phone now which is called LG L90 .. it fixes two major problems of moto G which are Camera and Expandability..

The camera is Very very good

Plus it has much better battery,ASS, 1080p recording,IR

Screen Quality is Same as Moto G , only resolution is less

by paying 1k more you are getting a complete All rounder phone

Price - 15,275

anybody who is going for moto G now is making a big mistake..

L90 vs S660

better GPU ( gaming performance )
better cam ( not sure by how much )
1080p recording
better custom rom / xda support
android 4.4 vs 4.2
better after sale service
better brand
supposedly more reliable
not sure about build quality

s660 advantage would be
better battery
premium material
cheaper price

the difference between those 2 l90 models is d415 has 5 mp cam , d410 has 8 mp cam ... indian version is D410

Not hijacking your thread, but I too have a similar budget.

What do you guys think of the Lenovo P780?

For 15k budget, L90 & SP are VFM choice without a doubt.

well, i am also searching 12-15k budget phone (without Moto) from long days.

I found Lenovo S820>LG L90>Xperial SP>Lenovo S650/660 are the best VFM choice, anytime. Peak your choice.
