Get Lg optimus 2x or Samsung galaxy R. Both will get ICS update.

If you're ok with Single Core phones then consider SE Xperia Pro MK16i

If you are ok with single core then I would suggest you to look our for HTC Desire S for 20-21k apart from that Samsung Galaxy R is the one you should look out for(but it is not available anywhere right now and where it is available they are charging a higher price for that).

Congrats for your new purchase...
If you could post a review about the same then it would be really helpful for the other people who are planning to buy a phone in that budget

I don't know why but as soon as Galaxy R's price dropped, it became Out of Stock everywhere. Anyways it is a decent phone but battery is little weak.

If you can wait for a month, at around 22K (rumoured), SGS Advanced should be coming (again not sure of it will get light in India). Its should ideally have better battery life and better GPU than Tegra 2 powered SGR and O2X.
Else, finding these 2 from local dealers would be best option. You may get some good bargains too.
As for single core ones, really read the reviews of MWC... Ppl are calling dual core mobiles as mid range! At 20K i doubt we should buy anything new(with single core) which the global critics would call an entry level device :p.

SGR is really tough to find..after searching around 20 local stores I found one and the shopkeeper was asking for 24k, not a penny less..waiting for some other option @20k..if OP can find SGR for 20k that should be instant buy!!

I dont know why anyone except Ravi is not recommending the LG Optimus 2x. Its Tegra2 based, dual core, 512MB ram, 4 inch (NOVA OR AMOLED not sure), back 8MP FULLHD cam, front facing 1.3 MP video calling cam, and what not? It beats Galaxy SII in some synthetic tests and in gaming performance, but lacks only in CPU intensive apps but that too by a very very small margin (around 500 pts, GS2 was 3500 and LGO2x was 2900 something).
Also, LG Optimus 2x is priced around 20K and is easily available, ill be buying it ASAP after my 12th Boards this month... :D

The OP has already bought SGR. So I think we should stop the discussion now
