Hey guys plz help

I want to buy a smartphone,for purpose of net browsing,little gaming, chatting, etc.

My budget is max. 18K.
I have zeroed upon Sony Xperia L, Samsung Grand Quattro, Samsung Galaxy Core.
But after going through reviews I like Sony Xperia L more.

So what do u think guys? Is Sony Xperia L good? Or is there any better options available?

Plz help guys......

Have a look at LG optimus L9. It's a crowd puller dude,it's feels like a premium phone.The phone is light weight and fits easily in hands,jeans.Moreover the jellybean is amazing with the Qslide apps.I'm using for nearly 8 months,haven't encountered a single lag so for.Only drawback is you can't get the phone or accessories in local market. it will be available only at LG mobile showrooms or online sites (flipkart is the best one).Have a serious look dude.All the best.

Canvas 4 doesn't have 2GB RAM. Nexus 4 is the cheapest phone with 2GB RAM

What are you smoking dude? First of all you quote incorrect specs( There is 1gb ram in the canvas 4),then you say it has beaten galaxy s4 in terms of everything? Please tell us in what universe and in what aspect the canvas 4 has beaten the galaxy s4.

Stop misleading people with BS.

@OP Get Xperia L

Get Xperia L or Canvas HD or Xolo Play but better to go for branded device in this price range.

I haven't heard good reviews of Canvas 4.

I totally agree with it, samsung galaxy S4 still has the highest benchmark scores

Thanks everyone for their feedback. I am going with Xperia L. Thanks again guys. I lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvve Thinkdigit/forum.

Thanks u guys, because of u I purchased the Xperia L for my brother & he is very happy. Now I require ur help again.

I am planning to buy a high end phone with budget of max 35000 INR. I prefer Android due to its customizations. Can u suggest a good phone for surfing internet, playing games (not much). But the phone should have good resolution & screen for watching movies, etc.

Please help guys
