Neo V is a very good phone for 15-15.5k
But Sensation XE is just amazing,the best phone according to me right now and Note is the only device which can compete with it but Note is quite a big device.
If you are comfortable with an old phone and the condition of the phone is also good then just run and get Sensation XE

Okay Then. Thanks Guys. Atleast 1 Thing Is Decided Then. If I Will BE Able To Snatch Out Out 1-2 Month old S2 Or Xe Under 20K With Warranty THen I Will Surely Go FOr It..

But If Not..

Which TO Choose Then -

Galaxy R/Sony Neo (Not Neo V) / Lg Optimus 2X / Live With Walkman ??:?:?

Galaxy R will cost you around 19k and Neo V costs around 15.5k.
So first get hands on both the device and then decide according to your budget

Yes,Galaxy R is the best vfm phone atm.
BTW,I managed to spend some time with the Sensetion XE today.
It is fast and fluid...but the Beats audio thing is a joke.
The battery life seems poor(though I should use it for couple of more days to get a better idea about the battery)
But even with the cr@p aka Sense u.i,the phone is as snappy as GS2,browsing experience is better than gs2,sound quality is crappy in both(I used a couple of iems far better than Beats earphones that comes with XE)

There are two areas where GS2 is the clear winner,
1.camera
2.Video playback(This the area where GS2 blows away every other superphone,htc has miles to go before even coming close to Sammy)
GS2 is probably the only phone(along with Note)which can play real high quality 1080p stuff without even breaking a sweat.

I see you don't have a Nokia on the list, moreover, you wanted android OS, S2 is a good choice though...
