1. I want to buy an Android phone, below Rs.20,000. Brands include Nokia, SE, Samsung, HTC, etc

Battery & camera should be excellent, with HD preferable. Big display for watching videos & browsing internet.

2. I have Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830 presently looking to exchange with the new one. Any good shops in Bangalore near Indiranagar area ?

Please advice.

Ok, how about Xperia M ?

Also, do online sites exchange phones for new one ?

Xperia M is striped down version of Xperia L.
Launching date is not yet confirmed.
No. they don't.
IMO sell it locally.

I will wait... :)

If Micromax can give you a 720p screen @ 12.5k, I am sure Sony could do that @18k

Same here.
A 720p screen would be awesome!
But I am tired of waiting.
So Xperia L is the unanimous verdict @16K?
How is the L's camera compared to the SP?
And any other droids with good hardware below 20K that can be considered? I heard someone getting a Note 1 for 21K, is that any good? And how far away is the Optimus L9 2, any news on that?

Still no L9 II

Note for 21k .......... it would be from eBay, with seller warranty

Guys, check this..... SP @ 22.2k
*www.ebay.in/itm/230997611431

Its selling for 22.5K on flipkart , so I guess that its possible to get it locally for 21K or so...

Also does the Htc One S come with the same S4 Krait SOC which is the international version or does it come with a S3 Scorpion in India (some flipkart reviews mention this).
