I want a phone with decent looks, battery, performance and camera

I have not read the reviews so if any one can comment on above factors it would be appreciated

BTW which GPU is better mali 400(single core) or aderno 205?

Xperia Sola . HTC One V is better in the looks department. Ray ~ 3.3" screen = No.

T

Go for Sola

Dual core 1Ghz processor while One V has 1 Ghz single core

Which has better camera One V or Sola? Also any idea about battery?

And What about incredible s?
how is the dev support of the phones?

Incredible S is an awesome phone but it doesn't comes in your budget, but if you can find it for 17-18k then just grab it.
Apart from that Neo V and Sola are good options for you.
One V has some software issues so not recommended.

I think i can extent my budget if its worth it.. will grab Incredible S if found it under 20K(or there are better options available?)
BTW what software issues? lagging?
One V looks better in photos so...

Yes lagging and a few more.

Ok will get Sola, dropping incredible s out of the list because of somewhat old hardware
BTW how much better are Xperia P and HTC Sensation than Sola in overall experience?

@Nilesh Battery backup of sony phones both sola and P ais bad. Xperia P has the worst battery backup in all dual core phones, only 5 and half hrs 3G taktime. It's good for a bright display and sharp camera.
On the other hand HTC One V has excellent battery backup with 10 hours 3G talktime. But it is a simple dual core phone performance is like old galaxy s1.
Sensation, incredible s, desire s all are discontinued officially by htc.

Xperia P is better than Sola,
Sensation is also very good, though the display is exactly same as Incredible S, it is just a lil bit bigger.I haven't compared it with Xperia P so can't say.

@Nilesh

With the Xperia P you get a bigger and brighter screen, Full HD video recording, 8 megapixel EXMOR R sensor and much better image quality, 1 GB RAM, better multitasking, better build quality due to the aluminum unibody and better design.

Xperia P is no doubt way better phone but its around 23k

...if u can increase that much then its a good buy

Is their any phone which can provide best of both world?(battery and performance). I can extend my budget to 22-23K
Should I go for S Advanced?

@aroraanant
How much battery life you get from Incredible S?

or Should i get a Mobile under 15K and get a Tablet latter.

^
Get the Xperia P. It has no worse battery life than Galaxy S Advance. Battery life improves considerably after 10 days or so. On par with any other Android device.

^ Source?

@aroraanant
How much battery life you get from Incredible S?

Well its pretty good, and everything depends on usage, if my data service of wi-fi is on then it decrease drastically and that happens with every tab and phone.But overall its pretty good.

Ask the forum members here who own the Xperia P like "TheLetterD" and "Aaryan" or browse XDA and you'll know.

Decided to go for Xperia P
Will buy it Today or tomorrow.

Hey Guys if I find SII in 25K should i get it?

^
Yes! Though keep in mind audio quality for music is quite poor on the SII.
Also make sure its a GT-I9100 and not GT-I9100G.
