You may also look into newly launched Samsung Mega and yes, Grand is also an option.

Mega is way too mega and grand is a good option but doesnt have usb on the go and s pen.

There is no Samsung phone in that budget which will offer you a S Pen. You might increase your budget and get a used Note 2, or even a new one which is just Rs.31.5 k now.

Mega is way too mega.
Lol Good One!! :D :D
I too sugggest a used Note 2 in that budget.. and stay away from Grand. If you can convince him for the Nexus 4 then that will be the best for him.

With your budget best is nexus 4
Note does not worth the money now
If Samsung is only option then go for s3
But nexus 4 would be a better choice than s3

If it is available at that price then it is a good buy I think.
Apart from that OP should seriously have a look at HTC One X

SIII has decent battery life. If you can get a Note II IMO - should be around 25-27K on eBay. Totally worth it, absolutely incredible battery life. If it's between SIII and N7000, go for S3.
