Hello, i am going to buy a phone under 15k. I shortlisted above 2 phones and now i am confused which one to buy???

Both have good battery life , but s660 is quiet upgraded version.


I was looking for a phone under 15k with a good battery life, good camera quality (not like 13mpx camera phones which gives 3rd grade picture quality), flash, lesser negative reviews, expandable, 4 or 8 gb internal, 1gb ram.


i searched on gsm arena about both phones and p780 had least negative reviews but is quiet older version compared to s660.

Suggest me one among both or any other suiting my search.

Regards

You can't trust LG but can trust brands like Xolo, MMX easily? Good luck with Xolo Q1200 then.

Cant trust MMX too :D
I am getting long battery life in mentioned phones and very less or no negative reviews about them. I will b using my phone for normal internet use, skyping, rare gaming and lil bit of business use.
My first priority is battery life cuz i will b using it 24x7 for googling and reading ebooks on the go.

Samsung is like china, reproducing like hell with same looks :/


I'm not that much into cellphones specs. like Processor type, GPU type, type of bit support, basically hardware part you can say, so i took help of this forum for some experts advice.

avoid lenovo, great build and stuff like very top notch but lack of updates and even unofficial roms is a pain(i own a lenovo tablet)
get the LG,Moto(or even lenovo if you want a sturdy phone) avoid gionee and those other oems trust me

Gionee is not bad, infact their phones have good quality. I'm using P2 and it is very good for the price I paid. My brothers and a couple of colleagues are also using Gionee and they are satisfied. Gionee M2 is a good phone, but the display resolution is mediocre.

all the indian and chinese oems have issues(hardware),if not they will develop it soon for sure
after sales which is already a joke even for apple,nokia etc is worse with micromax,lava,gionee,lenovo etc

i wont b installing custom roms , will just root and remove unnecessary apps again unroot.
M planning to try mozilla os on my new phone.

i am not bothered about official releases.
What are the % chances of lenovo or gionee or xolo phones getting bricked ? :/

thing is the preinstalled roms such as touchwiz,ideadesktop etc are very heavy on the system and unofficial roms are really needed in these phones plus mozilla OS (and ubuntu touch) can only be installed on supported phones which doesnt include indian and chinese oem phones afaik
brick chances are low as such (hardware wise its possible even on flagship phones such as htc one or galaxy s5)
avoid xolo,get lenovo instead of xolo etc,i suggest Moto over all these brands though

1. once you root, you won't want to unroot. After rooting, you can utilise the phone to a greater extent compared to an unrooted one.
2. the chinese phones which are sold in India by Micromax/Xolo/Lava/Spice/etc are rebranded ones, hence they aren't Chinese OEMs as per say. They themselves don't do much RnD leading to the poor quality. However, those Chinese brands who sell the phone under their own branding are Chinese OEMs like Gionee, Oppo, Xiaomi, etc.
