1. Budget? -- Max 20K
2. Display type and size? - Above 5 Inches with the best possible resolution
3. Dual sim? - Don't care
4. Preferred choice of brand? - The anroid standards and Xaomi,Huwaei,One Plus.
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? - Don't care
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). - ANDROID
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). - 3G
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? - Multimedia Consumption
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration : No

I cannot emphasize this point enough. I need good screen. Low black levels and excellent contrast.

Thanks !

Get Oneplus One (64 GB)

One plus One does not have a good display, a black level of 0.54 is unacceptable when the best IPS LCD(LG G2,HTC One M8) screens have a black level of 0.1.

For me display is of the PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE. Any other suggestions

You can't have the type of display you are wanting in that budget, as simple as that.

The display of OnePlus One isn't that bad :(

I use my phone for watching videos mostly. Z Ultra is really good, but LG IPS was definitely more bright with less vibrant but more natural colors.

OnePlus One would be best because of it's power, battery and VFM factor.

Basically you are looking for Amoled panel.
You already said that you are looking for a android phone but I would still insist on checking out lumia 730.

S4? Seriously?
It should've been discontinued a year ago and certainly isn't worth mentioning along side Oneplus One and Mi 4 because of the VFM hardware they offer.

If you had the S5 and had actually stared at the display for more than half an hour then no phone in this world exists which could satisfy you.

PS: Except Note 4 and S6 obviously.

Nah! The closest match would be the HTC M series. Honestly that's the most saturated IPS panel I have ever seen, better than those iPhones. So if you want a IPS panel then go that way. Stock Android means Motorola only, and I don't want to comment about Motorola's displays, I mean I couldn't even bear the display, awful would be an understatement, especially for someone who is used with Samsungs. What else is there? Um, nothing comes in mind, at least nothing from any major brand. Well you can go for those Xiaomi, LG stuffs, have no idea really.

I was talking about Moto X only (2013), and if I read reviews right then 2014 is NOT a step up other than the increased resolution. I shouldn't talk about other phones as I have no experience with them.

No the display is more than bad man, it's garbage. You can actually see the vertical lines on the display, now I don't care about what those are, but they were there, and that's all. In my whole life I honestly have never seen a poor display like that. It was the main reason for me to sell that, along with the awful camera, other things were good though, especially the call quality. Otherwise who wants to come back to TW after using Stock Android!

One Plus One display is pretty good unless compared to G3's QHD display

Who in their right mind would buy samsung over One Plus One :facepalm:

I personally hate android and chinese brands but if theres one i would buy- its OPO
its proven itself very well

The display of One plus one has pathetic black levels.0.39 at 50% brightness and 0.54 at 100% brightness whereas the LG G2 display has 0.1 at 50% brightness and 0.4 at 100%.

This kind of display is not at all good for multimedia consumption. I borrowed a colleague's OPO and played "The Dark Knight" on it.

MY GOD ! was the night a grey haze !!!!.

The display of the OPO is not at all suitable for me and therefore for me it is not a proposition at all, leave alone a value proposition.

According to GSMArena, compared to S5, LG G3 has better display despite the "poor" black levels.

And G2 is better than the Indian S4 with Exynos SoC

If samsung was that good, google wouldn't have switched to LG and then Motorola (and possibly Lenovo in the future) for Nexus phones.

Neither the LG G3 nor the G2 is my budget.Since S4 is in my budget, I am considering it.G3's display looks good only because of the higher resolution.

If you want to compare the LG G3's display, compare it to Note 4 or the S6 which have an equivalent resolution. In fact Display Mate has declared the Note4/S6 display to be the best in the world.

If Mi4 can be in you budget, I don't see how G2 is out of your budget. Are you talking about the 16 GB version?

As for mi4 heating issues, shouldn't overheat unless one constantly leaves heavy app/games running in the background. 40-45* C is normal for nearly all phones even while gaming and benchmarking.

Yes, I am talking about the 16 GB version. Many users have reported on Flipkart that it heats up even while talking and web browsing so I am a bit skeptical.

I am going to buy the phone only from Flipkart or a local LG store and there is no way I can find a LG G2 for 22-23 K(If I deciede to extend my budget)

LG G2 (AT&T) unlocked 32 GB is available for 15k on geb.ebay.in

I bought my E970 from the same seller and its working fine.

What would you rather opt for, weak phone with 1 year warranty (include all of samdung too) which may require ASS or great phone without warranty which may not require ASS at all?

*www.digit.in/forum/mobiles-tablets/190351-galaxy-note-2-fell-water-post2212709.html#post2212709
Yes, it was intended to you as you are the one who needs a good phone right now. :p

14+ months and my E970 hasn't required ASS. I took the risk of buying it and it paid off. Actually I was going to buy a Moto G back then but couldn't resist E970's hardware.

You don't buy phone to sell them unless you are a shopkeeper. You buy them for personal use. I can use my E970 for another 2-2.5 years and then give it away to a cousin or even use it as a backup phone.

ive been using windows phone & iphones for last couple of yrs. WP was strictly not meant for power users, its improving now though, still lacking apps.

I wasn't talking specifically with the little issues ur facing with lollipop they'll get fixed in time. Overall, stock build of android has improved a lot since 4.0(ICS) was what i meant.

Ohh my bad... But talking abt photography I bought an xperia ray couple of years ago, it had an 8mp exmor sensor. And it was pathetic when the light was a little low. Grainy pics most of the times. Not sure abt the sensors on newer models. I actually started rejecting phones when I saw they had exmor sensor, such was the effect. I find Samsungs cameras better. With Nokia Carl-zeiss I don't have much of an exp other than my 720, so won't comment.

Newer Z series phones have good camera, but I just compared S4 & Xperia Z1...... S4 has better camera, I checked both myself in same location (one of my friend has both).... Superior auto gives good photos but there is reduction in quality due to 8MP

HTC One E8 doesn't have a camera to justify its price, I guess Oneplus One has a better one, S4 too...
I never brought Nokia to the picture.... I once used 1020, and it has camera better than even S5 in terms of picture quality

E8 camera is not bad
Z1 camera is not bad either

Exmor in Z series is actually very superior
put aside the self cracking screen and overheating and its superior in every way than S5
One Plus One also has a Sony Exmor sensor

S4 and S5 camera is oversaturated and tends to take "burst" style photos and its flash is bad

Both E8 & Z1 have good camera, but I found more noise in Z1's pics compared to S4....... I'm a person who is happy with my N4's camera, it just enough for daily use........ For better pics I can always ask my friend for his DSLR

Oversaturation is a personal preference, most people like it.........


One of my friend also brags about oversaturation of Samsung, but I showed him 2 pics(same pics actually), one was original jpg pic from a DSLR, other one was oversaturated....... In the end, he liked the oversaturated one

S2 & Note had too much oversaturation, even I agree with that, but nowadays its more controlled(like in S5), plus you can always change colour mode in Samsung phones.........

I'd prefer Zenphone 2 over Mi4 and Honor 6 Plus.

IMHO G2 and G Pro 2 are good phones. G Pro 2 overcomes G2's limitations of sd card slot.

Getting Moto X 2014 is a better option when compared to G pro since it is kind of hard to handle. And on top of it G3 is also available at 32k for 32 gb model locally so there is chance that 2gb model might also be around that 30k bracket.

Granted but its actually the other way around- S2 and Note didnt have oversaturation,those actually took great shots and are still prefered by many android enthusiasts. Two of the last awesome handsets made by Samsung

It started with S3 and Note 2 but it was still not bad , S3 and Note 2 were still within the limit and were decent phones for their time

After S4,S5 etc all their displays and cameras have oversaturation

also its not easy to play around with settings to change colour tone especially in a smarthphone,you wont get the same results as a proper smartphone shooter such as exmor or Zeiss/Pureview and in the end the effort wont be worth it

I really like Mi4 going by the reviews, but there are concerns of high sar and overheating.

I would rather suggest waiting for new launches in april and then decide.

What I simply don't understand is, these damn Chinese have all the money in the world to put Snapdragon's into their phones but they can't put in a decent screen. All of them(xaomi,OPO,Huawei) use displays from JDI(Japan display) and none of them can match the displays from LG,sharp or Sony.

Why don't they understand that all the specs in the world won't matter if they do not have a good display platform.

It started with S3 and Note 2 but it was still not bad , S3 and Note 2 were still within the limit and were decent phones for their time

After S4,S5 etc all their displays and cameras have oversaturation

also its not easy to play around with settings to change colour tone especially in a smarthphone,you wont get the same results as a proper smartphone shooter such as exmor or Zeiss/Pureview and in the end the effort wont be worth it

What I simply don't understand is, these damn Chinese have all the money in the world to put Snapdragon's into their phones but they can't put in a decent screen. All of them(xaomi,OPO,Huawei) use displays from JDI(Japan display) and none of them can match the displays from LG,sharp or Sony.

Why don't they understand that all the specs in the world won't matter if they do not have a good display platform.

That newer Kirin SoC is the reason Dev support is poor for Honor 6. :(

Kirin 925 is a poor performer compared to Exynos 5 series. They use fewer core's on the Mali GPU's and the Cortex cores are clocked lower.

Exynos 7420 is what someone would want to get today, it is a beast of a chipset and beats the hell out of Crapdragon 810.


Person A : HTC One M9 looks hot

Person B(troll) : It uses the Crapdragon 810, it must be hot.


Is this Pratibha person a marketing rep for Huawei.

Thanks for pointing out. I wasn't aware. I was thinking I might get rid of it with a ROM

None, all the phones with this type of construction has this problem. The only potential way of getting rid of this is by undervolting the phone. Which is going to make it a bit sluggish during intensive tasks.
