You don't have a preferred camera option and are going to use it for Internet and Regular Photography?
Then why waste 35k on an iphone? :facepalm:

Better option would be Xperia Z3C in that budget and LG G2 if you want compact phones without wasting money for the intended use.

Both 5C and 5S have stupid screen resolutions and size and too low internal memory (or lack of expandable storage options)
Main reason is lower screen size which is between 4-4.5" and also want to try new Ios....!!!

I also wanted compact form factor...... That is why i ordered Sony Xperia Z3 Compact @ 23.5k (imported one from eBay, actual price 32k at Flipkart)

Z3C gives nice competition to iphone 6, so it is easily better than 5S

5S is any day better than 5C....

Galaxy Alpha is good.... Samsung specifically designed it to woo Apple users...

I like it but didn't buy it as I'm a heavy user & i wanted best in class battery life

Note: Alpha & iphone 6 have almost same battery life

So I bought a Sony Z3 compact, using it for 2 days now.... I get screen on time of around 6hrs(using fb, chrome, clash of clans, camera) for a usage of 24hrs in total with wifi on & auto brightness (no battery saving features enabled)
