Hi, friends I was almost determined to buy Galaxy S3 (specially after recent price cut), but saw Lg Optimus G E975 in flipkart almost at the same price. Now I am in confusion , whether to buy tried and tested Galaxy S3 or new, advanced and slightly more powerful Lg Optimus G E975.
My usage will be mainly - net surfing, music and camera.

Being a s3 owner I would definitely recommend you s3, unless you are importing nexus4.

Why are you not opting for Note 2, it is much better than S3.

It is my mistake of not mentioning my budget.:(
My budget is max 25k (after exchanging old set). So Note2 is beyound my reach.
Anyway thanks for suggestion.

Are you getting S3 for 25?
Anyways, Note 2 is costing around 31k if you buy online from tradus or indiatimes.

if you not in a hurry to get a mobile, wait a month. once S4 gets launched, Note II may get within your budget (with the exchange definitely). But in terms of firepower, Optimus G is definitely better. And don't bet on updates so soon. S3 is yet to receive Android 4.2 update.

As per a leaked report, S3 will be getting Android 5.0 that's Key Lime Pie. LG lags behind in giving updates. Of course OptG is a bit more powerful but you won't be disappointed with S3.
