+1 for xperia sp. But you can check Xperia ZR. Better soc and extra ram.

you wont get the ZR for 20k....between the C and SP, the latter is better, if its 4.55 inch screen size is acceptable.

Take Xperia SP if you are happy with one SIM.
Many other pluses are there with you on Xperia SP.
Like internal Memory is more.

how sp is better than C ...? especially in terms of display , battery which is having the edge
S
Mar 31, 2014 at 7:37 AM
C has 220ppi pixel density while SP has 320ppi. SP has Gorilla Glass... C has 4GB inbuilt, SP has 8 GB. While SP originally came with Android 4.1, it can be upgraded now to 4.3 and 4.4 upgrade is also coming. The Ambience Strip in SP has additional feature where we can set it to light in particular colour for specific callers...

Battery wise, C has the edge though...

This is based on Sony Xperia SP vs. Sony Xperia C - GSMArena.com

If You are happy with Single Sim,
Go for Xperia SP only.
It has many advantages for future use also.
Display is HD.
Battery is good.

because Sony display's in 2013 models like xperia SP, L , C was very washed out compared to samsung counterparts..

they have started rectifying it this year .. xperia t2 ultra screen is amazing

wait for xperia M2 also see how that phone turns out ... that is one sexy piece of a phone.. don't even think about getting xperia C..

see some pics

Xperia M2 hands-on photos; sized up against the Xperia Z2 | Xperia Blog

note- the display looks very washed out because it is being compared to flagship phones they sport IPS, and Super Amoleds.. so you need to wait for real comparison test with phones like samsung grand 2

performance wise SP trumps everything...

Performance wise Xperia SP is miles ahead of galaxy grand 2

Camera wise grand 2 is miles ahead of SP ..

Grand has a better display .. Grand 2 is a much better overall phone excluding Performance and design .. go and have a side by side comparison of both phones and see which suits you best..

if you can handle 6 inch Xperia T2 ultra is one step ahead of Galaxy Grand 2 at 22000 RS

Choose Sony Xperia SP for Best Build and quality is unmatched.
Sony Xperia SP is right for your requirement also.

Camera Quality on Phone Display may vary but actual test is on PC Monitor, here Sony wins.

I have Galaxy S3 also.
Still asking for SP.
It is your decision.
I have told you my opinion and
Decision will be yours.

If I have a Time Machine &
choice to go for Samsung S3 or Sony Series Phones.
I will go for Sony SP or Sony Series only.

I have practical Experiences.
My friends Sony Mobile Camera captured all detail of opposite Mountain on Vaishno Devi Trek.
Other good P&S Cameras were nowhere near to that performance by a simple Sony Mobile Phone.

Yes.
If Budget Allows,
I will vote for Better Sony Models, like Xperia ZR / Z
Check the Z Series in hand with specs,
then decide, what is best for you.

@OP, if you don't care for warranty, just buy Optimus G from here: Global EasyBuy

Best Offer !
LOL !

Optimus G is also a good phone at this price.
Grab it,
if You can / want it without warranty.
Check Seller's credibility (positive reviews) while shopping at any site.
Compare it in Croma type big store. check in your hand both Sony & LG.
Check performance and Quality.
Sony goes ahead but if you get good deal for less price in LG, it can be a good purchase.
Think before any buy,
take your time.
