Xperia M has 4 GB internal memory. Wont it be a problem while instaling big games or apps??? (considering most of this space will be used for the OS itself)

If you go by this, Galaxy Grand duos ticks all the boxes. As your brother also wants Dual sim, this is a nice option.
If Dual sim is important, grand duos & upcoming Xperia M are nice options.
If single sim is sufficient, Xperia L is awesome !

Do note that Xperia M has 4 inch Screen, 1 GB ram, Dual sim, Dual core 1 Ghz,but only 4 GB rom, 5 MP camera & 1750 mAh.

Grand is 5-inch phone. Which is a major turn off. By brother used Quattro (4.7inch) for a month and was not happy with such a big phone.

will 4GB rom be a big problem?? How much space will the OS take??

I think OP Should Go For Galaxy Grand Core As it has everything What OP Is Looking For at Price Around 15.5k

Samsung Galaxy Core I8262 Price in India - Buy Samsung Galaxy Core I8262 Chic White Online - Samsung: Flipkart.com

@ OP - If you go through some threads already created you'll see that no senior member will suggest you Grand or any other piece of crap from Sam**it at that range. At 15k no other phones beat Xperia L! But Xperia L is a single sim, so I wouldn't suggest that. Instead have a look at Xolo A800 or A1000. Even Q800. They are value for money for phones and they perform better than whatever Sams*it has at that price range.

Even Xolo Play Is good product....

Should I go for Galaxy Core now??

Its price just dropped to 12k

Go for Galaxy S Advance for 12.5k.

Please tell me if I go for Galaxy Core?? Its available for around 13k, its price might increase.. Please tell me..

No.. Dont go for it.. If u want dual sim, check lenovo p770.. A balanced mobile with a marathon battery...

Stay away from samshit for that budget...

So according to you at what budget does Samsung start to make sense ?

D

Well I have been using Xolo Q800 and very happy with the same, if you are interested do check out thevsame.

Samshit only has good phones over 25k range. Below that range Samshit makes crappy phones.

Galaxy core has a weak cpu compared to say Xperia L.But since it has dropped in price to about 12k i would say go for it.However if you can wait for Xperia M that would be better.

Xperia M mein 4GB rom hai sirf.. so wont it be a big issue??

^^It is having micro SD card slot so no problem.

Yes i forgot !! It has only 4gb of rom means only 2gb of internal memory so it will be a big problem.stay away from Xperia M then.

ya.. then glxy core hi option h??

galaxy core is good for low to medium usage ( normal day to day usage )..
Camera quality is satisfying & touchscreen response & display quality are sufficient..
But since you've mentioned that your brother will be using a lot of apps/games, its better that you stay away from this phone..it has a weak processor..Mutlitasking/Hardcore gaming will cause stuttering ruining your experience.
