Battery drains so fast in that... wil keep this as my last option however. Why nobody speaks about panasonic ? Reputed brand with decent specs at nominal price ...

Dude you are not going to find any good branded phone for 8k.Since you have mentioned gamming is no priority then get lumia 525.

^^Lumia 525 is not Dual Sim which is must for OP... Otherwise, it would have been a sure option...

Arun

Thanks for all your suggestion guys .. !

I think I'm left with the only option - Galaxy S duos 2...

Or is it wise to wait for Moto E ??
