Go for HTC oneS, it is a great all rounder phone, has a very good display, amazing audio, and a great camera. Has a very capable hardware and looks pretty good too..

~~Go for Xperia SP.~~
Ok so if not SP, Then either save up for a Optimus G , or go for An windows phone.
Or the best deal is to wait for LG F7

A

i dont play heavy games on mobile becau am a PC gamer.
i lik sony brand but the no sound prob s not solved,its big hinderance 4 me to buy them.

and getting almost negative feedbacks for nokia lumia.but half buyers loving it.

am stuck.

i feel htc no stylish ,looks lik for business phones

I'm looking for an android in the same budget.. but could not get a good option. If you can deal with windows... L820 is surely a good one to go.. you seems to be concerned about look where L820 is ahead of its competitors.
For android.. I currently have three major options: HTC OneX, HTC oneS, Xperia SP

increase the budget & get LG optimus G.

A

u r rite,i wann sometin stylish n colorful..yet should ve decent performance
musts are good resolution,dpi stuffs, 720 @30fps camrecording ,good battery. phone s for watchind videos mostly, listening.. game playing ve no value.
i would ve considered htc but found the drawback as battery life for them

i don lik samsung. Does LG provide quality products?sorry i dont know.
now L820 s my option. it has some heating problems and freezing too..

yup LG does provide more quality products than samsung.
1st Dual core - By LG (Optimus 2x)
1st Quad core - By LG - 4x HD
1st Touch screen phone - By LG - Prada.

Go for Optimus G.

A

hey i found optimus G 30k.. out of my budget

24K budget you should get one from Xperia SP, Galaxy S3 and HTC One X.

A

but wat about xperia no sound prob?

If it's a software glitch, SONY will take care of it.

BTW can u explain d problem in detail or post the link where u found it ?

this very common by most of xperia users.. and no proper solution.. i seen two of my cousins having same prob.. no sound on phone.so during calls we ve to turn on loud speaker or use headphone.. also no sound on video files

/ any multimedia that produce sound

Yesterday my friends Xperia P was facing same issue. got cleared automatically. but service center said it's normal issue & gets cleared after s/w update.

A

Does the Xperia SP available in India have 4G/LTE? Or is the only-3G model available?

Look out for One X or Xperia SP.

Why don't you consider a flagship device then?
Nokia will be have something launched on May 15th btw

Heard its lumia 928 at&t exclusive have to wait for the official release.

OP as pratyush suggest go for flagship device.
Android go for HTC one
Windows go for lumia 920

Anyways wait for Nokia event heard rumors that a windows powered pureview coming.

^^ delhi launch. so no AT&T (or LTE) stuff. More likely to be Lumia Pureview but highly unlikely. at least without any leaks in recent time.

^^more likely asha family...i don't think they will release next lumia pureview flagship here in india..lol (ya india is a big market but still)..2nd factor, they will wait for windows 8.1 update..and then release 1080p screen lumia pureview i feel..

@OP, if u are spending so much then wait for sometime...google i/o coming..nokia announcements coming..sony announcements coming..and many more..

^^^but the invite tag line is 'time to shift gears' - how can that in anyway be attached to an asha launch btw i also think that its too early for a lumia launch here

A

yeah i too read somewhere the release s over usa not india any soon..

guys pl any one know about L920?

Just used the device, heavy but very premium feel and look. For app selection, still need to improve in games and essential apps( like recharge etc)

I don't own lumia bro, I happen to use them @ univercell for about 15 min that's it bro. Camera quality: I should say it is the best right now in the market as per reviews.

My friend is using 620 so I can answer about windows apps.

A

oh, thats ok.. that non removable battery s a prob huh?

S

Getting an 1.5 year old Galaxy note N7000 @ 15.5K . is it a good deal to go with? plz advise.

A

samsung's quality s not that good.. dont buy, i feel..

S

Can you clarify the reason why? Not even for high end phones?

A

i meant the performance of low n mid range phones from samsung.. of cousre it has all features and good competitor.. but i don know y i don lik them, may be just its over crowded among ppl and every thin from samsung looks same. may be am not correct,this my view.

If u want to buy samsung and have no budget restrictions then.y not s3 or s4? Y.buying old note?

If photography and video recording is ur main usage as u mentioned then get L920...OIS works great..

its Nokia so it is reliable

amjath said:

its nokia,yeah i agree u with its reliability.. but found probs of freezing and even unable to remove battery.. just imagine how we ll stuck? this r the things that make us confuse to buy the good stuff. i really lik L.

I do have budget restrictions and that is the reason why i went for the 2nd hand note .. when i compared other competitor at that 15-16k price tag .. i found note having the best features.. i never mentioned about L920..

A

I dont know why ppl cry about non removable batteries..what r u gonna do by removing batteries...play with it...
most fons havin non removable batteries have either hard rest or hard restart like iphone or xperia devices.. And if u need xtra juice out of the batteries carry power banks..its quite cheap now a days and looks bettr instead of changing batteries!!!

hi abhilashthobias

cool
ok wat s a power bank? hearing first time.. available for all phones?

Well a power bank is like a portable power supply meant for phones or tablets...u can simply plug in your fon to the power bank like u do with the charger...and it will charge it up..i have seen a basic sony power bank for 1.2k and yes u can plug in any smartphone

Moreover if u buy ur fon any electronic store like reliance digital...then they may even give it to u for free with the fon

A

i guess its a cool idea to get power bank.. and i feel the battery ll last long depending on how we use it.

Thats right
and when u completely drain ur battery just use thr power bank to bring it back to full charge!!
