dude Lg L9 is not now at 15k at HS18 now its 18k n min u ll get at 17k from flipkar or else the suped deal comes back
n how can u be so sure that Xperia L ll be at 15k ?? i find many website states to be under 21k so out of my budget n plz can u say about Huawei Ascend Y300..

shreymittal said:

i have used Grand and other than being really bulky and the added cover does help to make it even more bulkier, i found the mobile to be just fine but only under 20k.

Y300 = G330 + Android 4.1. and as it packs dualcore Cortex A5, it'll can't even come close to L9/Xperia L, etc. And before you think about SuperDeals, just be sure that HomeShop18 will ship it here. Unlike flipkart readily shipping any highend mobile, homeshop18's range is pretty limited.

under 10 it is Y300 all the way. under 15k, S Advanced & above 15k, better to wait for Xperia L unless you need a big display. L9 won't feel slow for another couple of years but Xperia L will pack better internals.

how about this ? UMI X2 !! kya faadu specs hai..Quad core with 2 GB RAM and 13MP camera

Buy Umi X2 Quadcore • Umi Mobiles India

But it only has 5MP camera. You can get 8MP with the grand and xperia L for only a few more bucks.
So i think the choice is upto OP whether he wants a bigger (Grand 5") or a big (Xperia L 4.3") screen.

But somehow, I don't like X L's design. It's a bit feminine, and I guess it's got on screen buttons, reducing display size.

OHH pls dude its the best phone in that price range ask anybody in the forum and see what answers u will get. :facepalm:

Xperia L will be launched @18K and randomuser will tell u.

1. SIM (L9 = Single, Grand = Dual)
2. Internal Memory (L9 = 4GB, Grand = 8GB)
3. Memory Expansion (L9 = 32GB, Grand = 64GB)
4. Bluetooth (L9 = v3.0, Grand = v4.0)
5. Primary Camera (L9 = 5MP, Grand = 8MP)
6. Secondary Camera (L9 = VGA, Grand = 2MP)
7. GPS (L9 = A-GPS, Grand = A-GPS + GLONASS)
AND
8. Screen Size (L9 = 4.7" , Grand = 5")

And L9's the father? :facepalm:

The L9 only has a higher pixel density but again its LG! :-D

@OP :

Nokia Lumia 720 has very good features & i think it will be priced around 17-20k.

Sony Xperia Z's advertisement is acted by Katrina Kaif :hyper:

and you know who does it for Grand :-D

Well I'm gonna recommend the Lumia 720 at around 17k. The screen is pretty awesome and maybe you will like WP8 !!

well its not about how many
Sim - I personally don't find difference coz S4 is also same Sim slots,
bluetooth version - same as above coz i download most of my stuff n ya i agree that files transfer faster but i think both need have same same version 2 get max speed,
Secondary camera - frankly i have using a cellphone(2yrs) having front camera n i can say that i have just done 20hrz of video calls (its like hello tunes- others only get 2 see u so whats d big deal),
GLONASS- better 2 have screen gaurd n flip cover

so it depends Person 2 person n
we need to know that u have 2 compromise on somethings

Windows8 OS is great but apps n youth lack (i.e. my friends have android so I don't want to be Unique in front of them n buy Win8 n if some bug r issues r there u have go through website 2 website to get it done) - example m a great fifa fan i play fifa13 but i found a website in which i get latest transfer updates, face pack , boots, player apperrence so i asked all my friends to go through that site

It definitely gets down to person-to-person preferences but that doesn't stop one from making generalized conclusions. Going by your logic, a micromax may be better than an iPhone :-D

m not saying micromax may be better than an iPhone. ny we r talking about the 15-20k market and it is still considered as mid range even 4 mine it is semi-high-end. but i cannot get premium features n have 2 make compromise bt what is necessary is the hardware, software n after sales n u can go more details.
Samsung Grand is winner hands down in after sales, n rest won by Lg. Lg has less brand value than Samsung

+1 man coz i think it would be go 4 it if its 12k coz crap hardware n low display

- Grand uses broadcom BCM28155 SoC which has videocore gpu which isn't the fastest in this price range. Galaxy Y uses same gpu i.e. videocore but its single core.
- I have seen this set a store the low resolution, low ppi is very much visible when you watch video, read ebook and the font is too big.
- TI OMAP 4430 SOC(Dual Cortex A9+SGX540) in L9, for those who don't know this is the same SOC(chip) present in Galaxy Tab 7" and 10" series, Galaxy Nexus, Droid RAZR and a bunch of other high-end devices from 2012-2013, so, right there on the performance metric. Grand is bad only for lower screen resolution period. And I have seen this set on Samsung store, totally disappointed only because of screen.
- battery backup is not that good as well.
- Multi-window is good feature but it will not benefit on 5 inch phablet.
- Grand hangs a lot. OS isn't the most optimized.
- Now 3rd party Multi-windows can also be found at play-store.

hey Tenida whats ur thought o the Upcoming
Huawei Ascend Y300 will it be able 2 run "some HD games"
coz m thinking of gifting it 2 my cousin on my n ur assamese cum Bengali new year

Tenida said:

but actually dualcore Videocore4 beats SGX540. It can be because of the low resolution but even if the resolution was same, dualcore Videocore4 should be able to outperform SGX540.

Tenida said:

i think font and size can be changed. reading text can surely strain the eyes. images looked natural. colours were accurate from what limited hands on i had with Grand.

Tenida said:

absolutely true. even at 30% brightness the battery drain is there. but it can be because of hardware acceleration. L9 may face same problem with Android 4.1 when h/w acceleration is turned on because of project butter.

Tenida said:

AFAIK multi window only supports app that shipped with the mobile. you can't play angry birds and browse facebook at the same time.

Tenida said:

i have used it but didn't face any hang. next time will throw in some heavier apps.

Tenida said:
- Now 3rd party Multi-windows can also be found at play-store.

is it possible? in android apps are run isolated of each other. so multiwindow can't contain other apps or the apps must have support for some weird resolution. will have to check this one.

Biggest problem of Grand is size and weight. With the flip cover adding more width on both side, holding Grand can be a problem for most.

Huawei Ascend G600. Internal specs are pretty close with only ram being 768MB instead of 512MB.

Gaming Performance
The fact that the results of the benchmark tests are underwhelming, does not necessarily translate into inadequate performance. Earlier, we determined that the video performance is more than sufficient even for FullHD material. When we tested different games from Google Play, we saw similar results. Two well-know 3D titles - "GTA III“ and "Need For Speed Hot Pursuit“ - show that the hardware is capable enough to handle even current and demanding games.

now G600 ships with qHD resolution display whereas Y300 has WVGA display. which naturally mean if G600 can play demanding games, Y300 too should.

Need to see the S2 Plus review

Well I am eagerly waiting for the jellybean update.

AFAIK multi window only supports app that shipped with the mobile. you can't play angry birds and browse facebook at the same time.
But somehow you can find some apps called popup player where you watch videos (mxplayer or youtube and at the same time can browse or read pdf. In that way true multitasking is possible.

is it possible? in android apps are run isolated of each other. so multiwindow can't contain other apps or the apps must have support for some weird resolution. will have to check this one.
Somehow yes but not at the level of Note II but I think Popupplayer or Super Video, Floating & Popup apps is enough for mobile device.

Biggest problem of Grand is size and weight. With the flip cover adding more width on both side, holding Grand can be a problem for most.
And L9 is light with clip case on.

I agree, Iphone 4 8 GB is definitely a good option for someone who doesn't need too much power or freaked about specs. It is a decent performer with a good camera and a good design.

BUT BUT BUT. It's not for everyone with the iOS limitations.

can't just compare only the specs directly. iOS and Android are two very different operating systems and the apps may run with different requirements of hardware/resources.

Lol. You don't even know the basic difference between iOS and Android.

Apple writes iOS specifically for only one set of specifications used by only ONE phone. The builds of iOS 6 itself of an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 are quite different. Both in its core and cosmetically. Hence there is great performance with even "inferior" hardware.

Android it's not the same. Various manufactures mostly make cosmetic change to the Androids code which is written by Google for a wide set of compatible hardware and not only for one phone or processor.

It's very silly to make comparisons only based on pure specs.

Kk got it but should I pre order it n wht about the after sales?

no need to preorder. when it arrives you can easily buy one. they are not demanding like Samsung. Huawei has a service center at Bhangaghar area. but other than that no idea but already 3 of my friends are using Huawei mobiles and no complain till now.

Hai Guys... I bought this device from a local outlet in my town... n I am
totally impressed with this device I am using this device for 3weeks n i will
be able to give u a detailed indepth review... I was using samsung galaxy
ace before n my dad is using samsung galaxy s3... Galaxy ace is not even
compareable with the Huawei ascend Y300 n Huawei ascend Y300 can be
even compared with s3... I was aimng of buyng a Indian brand like karbonn
or micromax at first but nw i can say that guys dnt go for such devices n
its only waste of money... Go for this device it will never disappoint u ! It is
haveing all the specs of mobile worth 15,000 First I will say about the pros :
Its haveing a 4inch IPS display with a reslutn of 480*800 with a ppi of abv
200, Its very good display n colours r vivid n saturated... Far better than my
galaxy ace display It has a 1 GHz Qualcomm ARM Cortex-A5, Dual Core
processor with a dedicated adreno 203 GPU with 512 mb of ram n 4gb of
internal memory on wich 2.5 gb is user available ! I was able to play top
games like Temple run 2, Gta 3, Gangester Rio on this device with any
single lag ! So this device is the Best option for heavy users !

Its haveing
a 5mp autofocus camera with a led flash n it gives the best output pictures
n it also have a front camera for video calls n skype!

Best battery backup
with 1700+ mah! N for me it will give my 2days of back up with daily
average usage of full time wifi usage, some gameing, 100msgs n 1hour of
call ! Best in the class...

The custamized launcher is too a good one on
which we can get something better than stock android ! The best part is that
it comes with Android 4.1 (jelly bean) out of the box ! So the top features
like Google Now is available in this device !

Cons : still searching...
Haveing yet find anything !

Bt as i am a skype user the front camera can
be of a 2mp ! Bt tatz nt even a problem for this price range... Guys... Jst
go for this device, it will never disappoint u n its haveing top end features n
is well built !

@sam is it true? M not sure he saying 100 percent true. A flipkart review

I am looking forward to get Samsung Galaxy S Advance... (@ 13.8k)

Check it out, OP.

he is right about Ace. but Y300 can't be compared to highend mobiles like G3. though both can run Temple Run 2 fine or even GTA3 but try 1080p video playback and then comes the real deal. Y300 can't. i doubt Y300 can run 720p video in the native player (MX player will play 720p video also just fine). even better, he should have tried egypt benchmark before comparing a 7k mobile with a 30k one monster.

I have used G330 and it was really smooth. So if it all boils down to smoothness, Y300 will match G3 or even G4 but in games or benchmark or video playback, it can hold ground only to sub 15k mobiles that also to limited pieces.

actually PowerVR SGX531 (Mediatek 6577 as well as their single core part) is better than Adreno 203/200 (Qualcomm MSM8225/7227A/7225A) in terms of graphics performance.

I m little Confused with the specs of Y300 as some say has a IPS display n 4gb internal storage plz give me the correct one n what about Y510?

i guess Y300 does have an IPS display. though it mayn't be of the same standard as L9 (and one shouldn't expect) but if the image clarity is there then why not.

and even if it has 4GB, no more than 2GB will be usable.

both r good O/s n I
personally love android but
Win8 (i don't know much) n has less Apps n community for now

IMO the user exp wud be better on L520 at that price.

Droids are good only upwards 15k as of now.

no mobile under 10k can play 1080p video (maybe XOLO X500 can). If you want better hardware, go for 520 eye closed. but in case you want to try android with modest hardware, you already know what you are looking for. WP lacks free apps and i don't think the scenario will change much even after a few years.
