Desire X is a substandard- One S is way better but i dont think you will get it at 20k....try the Optimus L9 here LG Optimus L9 P765: Flipkart.com

Optimus L9 hasn't released yet I believe and Hey I really like the design of One S . Seems like it fulfills my requirements and I'll wait a little more if price drops of this beautiful phone.

Desire X not so desirable at this price. Get Galaxy S Advance or even Xperia S is a good choice(although it costs 24k)

Below 20k go for LG L9 for its hardware or Samsung S Advanced for the upcoming JB update. Hardware wise S Advanced is really close to L9 but misses out on slightly less impressive camera.
Above 20k, go for Xperia S. Perfectly fair pricing for the kind of screen you'll get.

don't go for single core mobiles or dual core mobiles like Desire X, SV. The processor even being dual core is weak.

yup..as said L9 would be a great option within 20k as far as it's hardware is concerned...

Desire X is a great phone...the reviews speak for themselves. Also it is getting JB according to Htc s assessment of hardware requirements.

If your budget allows then opt for One S with any doubt.
Xperia S is a good option too.
