Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos fits all of your criteria for consideration.

sorry Nerevarine bt i cant wait that much longer but appreciate your support.
Thanks.
LG L9 2 is good bt not so much internal memory Jelly Bean with 4GB means very less for the user's use
But Never Mind Thanks.

Please Help me choose.

Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos fits all of your criteria for consideration.

mohit9206 I had also considered it but it has just the TFT screen any phone with that price must have AMOLED to fit it.

Thanks For support.

Help me friends.

Consider these:
- Auxus Nuclea N1
iBerry Auxus Nuclea N1 FHD Android smartphone launching soon

-Micromax Canvas 4(will be released tomorrow)

These are the options left as you have rejected Grand Duos

How about Lenovo S890?

A decent Dual sim phone from Lenovo. I think its better than Galaxy Grand Duos or Quattro or Core.

If you don't like Grand, how about Desire SV?

@ OP - Don't expect a Dual Sim & HD/Amoled display in that price range..
Better wait for s4 mini but that will destroy your budget also.

Canvas 4 seems to be the one then...

That phone is even worse than Grand

Canvas 4 seems to be the one then...
I'm waiting for its specs............ My friend wants a phone with great display & performance @ upto 20k.
If Canvas 4 fails to impress, then Galaxy Nexus or Xperia L

I will probably never recommend ant MMX to anyone even if they are providing any specs..
Galaxy nexus is having superb dev support but cam is only 5 mp & old processor soc. better get N4 [8 gig will be near 20k - imported ]
Xperia L is also a good choice in that range.

Ok, since everybody is ignoring my question :p I gotta raise the it again - how about Lenovo S890 for 15k?

No point of suggesting Xperia L or N4 as OP wants a dual sim.

No one will suggest N4 for 15k budget anyway..... :wink:

And Lenovo S890 is looking good but resolution for 5" is not that good.

Galaxy Nexus at 17k & N4 8GB @ 22k

Xolo and Panasonic make budget phones and they either don't manufacture other stuff or are not leading brand in other productions. But Lenovo on the other hand is one of the leading laptop manufacturers in the world. So aren't their mobiles supposed to be better than all these Chinese/India phones? Just a thought!!

And Lenovo S890 is looking good but resolution for 5" is not that good.

What about Lenovo S820? 4.66" with 720p resolution.

Samsung offers 2 phones: Quattro n Core, I won't advise you to buy any of them. But Grand is a good phone

LG has L7II @ 13k but still it has A5 dual core processor but other things are good

I still recommend XOLO Q1000 or Auxus Nuclea N1
