@ OP - Since you've mentioned that the Phone will be primarily used as Camera & Music device, I assume you will be clicking a lotta snaps. For Camera performance extend your budget by 1k and get LG Optimus G E975!! I somehow feel for around 25k S3 still has the best camera but S3 is getting old now(in terms of Processor), thats why recommended LG Optimus G.

someone suggested lennnovo as they seemed to be offering stable devices with great specs and at affordable prices too... any inputs on this?
