Yes.
Frustrated With NovaThor.

Nice to have a recognised dev amongst us

With that budget, I'd suggest you wait. If you were to buy something under 18k, I'd say get the optimus L9 for 14995/- on hs18 superdeal while its still on. For 25k there is no point spending that much right now on last gen chipsets(unless you are desperate for a phone). So wait for a few weeks, many interesting phones and announcements are due. S4 launch, Lava Clovertrail+, xperia midrange refresh, etc

Only option worthy close to your budget is the Nexus 4. It is also a developers dream phone, so you will enjoy making custom roms for the best devs on XDA. PPL like Franco(Arguably best kernel dev) choose to make kernels exclusively for nexus devices, so it will be a great learning experience.
You can get the 8GB for 24399/- and 16GB for 27690/- on ibhejo.com, They do have an international warranty policy too, but its best to contact them to confirm their terms and conditions.

Okay so you are a dev!
Y U NO get Nexus 4? extend the budget by 2-5 k and get Nexus 4 16 GB as ^he^ suggested!

Nexus 4 Is Cool,But I Don't Like The Limited Storage.
I Like To Try Out .imgs On Android.(4-5 GB) Then My Songs (3 GB Approx :-D

),Games Like NFS MW Or Fifa (4 GB) And Then No Space Remaining For .zips Of Roms.
So I Have Decided To Go For A Device With Expandable Storage :wink:

Optimus L9 Is Also Good But It Has Five Variants,So A Little Hard To Develop For :-D

Waiting For Sony To Officially Announce Xperia SP And Xperia L.
Thanks.

You can store your songs/movies/multimedia on a USB flash drive and use the OTG feature. Nexus 4 is definitely the one to go for, you will learn a lot from the best devs and get immense recognition. 16GB should be sufficient in most cases.

But if its not suitable for you then, its better to wait for newer phones with expandable memory.

I will go with the second option.
*its better to wait for newer phones with expandable memory.

I would reccomend that you wait ..... for atleast a month.......If u want a phone now, then I think you must try to get LG Optimus 4X ....

HTC One X 32 GB with manufacturer warranty is available for 26k at tradus, but it a.s.a.p. as this price will not be for long.As it is being retailing at all other places for 33k

-1 for one x
+1 for wait

Wait for Xperia SP, or save more and get GS3

SP beats the **** out of S3

S3, One X, 4X HD, Ion etc all use last gen processors.

Xperia SP And Xperia L Are Announced Officially,I Don't Think That Xperia SP Will Be Priced Between 20k-25k Globally.
Xperia L Is Also A Good Option,Design Is Similar To That Of Xperia J.
But I Loved Xperia SP's Design,Wondering Why Didn't They Name It As Xperia SU (Colour Changing Illumination Bar)
If Xperia SP Is Priced Below 25k Then I Will Definitely Go For It,If Not Then Xperia L :-D

Thanks For Your Help Guys.

It will be available for 25k or below

Then Definitely SP :-D

Europe prices are out

SP - 400 Euro

L - 299 Euro

now before you start panicking

Xperia Z was 649 Euro = Rs 45k, India price = 37k.

Xperia SP = 27k RRP (Europe) = 24k India street price

Xperia L = 20k RRP (Europe) = 17-18k India street price

T

SP looks wow! Sweet that I postponed buying a mobile around 45 days.

how about Nexus 4 for 25.7k ?

P

Even I am impressed with the new Xperia SP, especially the Adreno 320 GPU!!!

Though there's no word on its availability and pricing in India, if it is priced below 25k, I'll be buying one right away! :-D

I just doubt if it will be getting Key Lime Pie or not. Any guesses?

Yes,SP Should Get It Because It Is A Higher Midranger(Like Xperia P)

SP Is Good In Performance,But The On-Screen Buttons Waste The Screen Estate And The Camera Is Also Not Satisfactory,I Am Going For Optimus G.

I Don't Really Need That IR Blaster,And Regarding Performance Both Have 2GB Ram And S4 Pro SOC,So Its Nearly Same

I Am Stuck With Optimus G Because Its Like A Global Version Of Nexus 4 And All Roms(And Ubuntu) Can Easily Run On Optimus G.(With N4 Conversion Pack[XDA])
Thanks For Your Advice ;-)

hey me too now thinking for op G. getting it for 30900 /- in local shop. Zl viewing angles are not good so OP G is best.

Ya I Know It,Hence Going For G.
First,I Had Decided To Go With Xperia SP,But Because Of Its "Not-So-Good" Camera Performance I Decided To Go For Optimus G.

Yaa doesn't seem sensible to buy something worth 25k, and yet not having a good cam. my xperia ray earlier, on paper it's got 8 mp exmor r sensor, but the images it took in lower light conditions were sub standard and had lots of noise.
