Buying new smart phone upto 8K

R

Hi friends,

I am currently using Moto E condor and now want to upgrade my mobile with another one with Dual SIM and a memory card slot.

My budget for the phone is 8K and I will be rooting the phone and will be using new upcoming ROMs on the phone.

I want good battery life, good camera and customisable phone.

Please tell how is 10.orG or the new Redmi 5 or Lenovo K8+

Open to all options, even used phones if good and within budget.

regards

Look for phones which have support for modded google cam with HDR+ mode. There is a good chance those would have good amount of custom roms as well.

I will suggest two phones
Asus Zenfone 3 32GB
*www.amazon.in/Asus-Zenfone-Gold-32...UTF8&qid=1516859627&sr=8-1&keywords=zenfone+3
Pros:
SD 625 is very battery efficient
Camera is best in this price range
Awesome build quality and design
Battery life is awesome don't get fooled by 2600Mah battery capacity
Gorilla glass on front and back

Honor 9 lite
Honor 9 Lite (Midnight Black, Sapphire Blue, 32 GB) Online at Best Price with Great Offers Only On Flipkart.com Browse&ppn=Search Page&ssid=.jhtsom5syez(e+16)1516859742034&qH=542f7dd6e65d8320

Pros:
Modern looking phone with 18:9 Screen
Design is awesome

I know these phones are above your budget but I suggest you to save some money and get any from these though I will choose Zenfone 3 anyday.

Redmi 5 ,

SD 450 is very similar/close to SD 625

you should be able to get around 80-85H endurance rating with 3300mah with redmi 5

you can check this review to get idea of battery life and performance

vivo V7 review

Plus xiaomi is likely to have good development support and also availability of spare parts because it will be most popular/best selling out of all , it is also modern design and also likely to be cheapest out of all..

Camera and no hybrid slot may be better in others though

Increase your budget and get zenfone 3 for 11.3k

or if budget is an issue you can get moto g5 but I strongly suggest you spend more and get zenfone 3 its way better than budget phones available for 8k

Asus Zenfone 3 has great camera with OIS and it's beautiful and honor 9 lite is beautiful but it lacks any protective glass on back, Camera is not that great note 4 is a budget device(camera is average with average looks)
K8+ is just an average looking budget device camera is average too(Recently hearing too much complain about Lenovo devices)

Lenovo Z2 plus Pros
flagship grade chipset, storage, and extra 1GB RAM
Better developer support than zenfone 3
Battery life is good
Cons
Buggy software
it is stuck at nougat 7.0
Camera is average
Back glass is not gorilla glass

Zenfone 3 Pros
Beautiful Design
Awesome camera with OIS(You will not find this on any phone around 25k phones
Battery backup is good (6-7 hrs SOT with heavy usage) even it has small battery
Back glass is gorilla glass
Display Quality is good with 600 nits of brightness
Already got Oreo update
Audio quality through both earphones and speaker is good
Official software support is good getting continuous bug fixes and security patch
Cons
No developer support so you will not find any custom ROM, kernel
64GB version is pricy around 16k

I am a Zenfone 3 32GB version user and I am completely satisfied with this phone If your usage is only playing games then Zuk Z2 plus is good option but you have to sacrifice on build quality, design, camera, software support etc

Hope this helps
