I plan to buy the lg optimus l9 soon..i made this decision after a lot of research on the net.
But is LG a good enough brand..i mean,is their smartphones long lasting,durable..build quality,withstand daily stress..etc good?
my friends say "buy samsung galaxy"..but galaxy phones comparable to lg l9 dont exist under rs 19000(but i dont like galaxy grand)
..so shud i go with lg l9?or not..
IS THERE any alternative

+1 to XL
XL has better specs and better cam than LG L9 AND VFM TOO

But the xperia L is less screen and more phone body..any other phones?:cry:

Optimus L9 is good value for money...

If you can find older phones like Sony Xperia SL in your budget then get it. I expect it to be around 20k...

There are very few good phones in this price range... Galaxy Grand is not a good phone. Continue to avoid it...

LG Optimus L9 is available for 16.9k (cheapest online) on Infibeam... Decent deal... else wait for superdeal on HomeShop18 which would reduce the price to around 15k...

In Indian brands, right now, Lava Xolo Q800 is excellent value for money @ 11.5k... Superb hardware for the price... - *www.maniacstore.com/Lava-Xolo-Q800.html

Seller Warranty = No Warranty because
1. You have to send it back to the seller if your device got any problem
2. you dont know when seller will send your phone back or its repaired or not
3. These phones are smuggled ones so they don't have Official/Manufacturer Warranty
4. I don't personally don't refer anyone phones with seller warranty that to on EBAY

Nop,L9/Xperia L is much better

:agreed:
