Moto g2 any day......Its not available locally

Forget adreno 320 in your budget, minimum you'd have to spend 17k for Xperia ZR. For 13k, Mi3 would've been gooood but its discontinued. Xperia SP hasn't even got kitkat officially, so don't consider it even though its around 14k now. Now, good android phone under 15k with adreno 320 from samdung and nokia, hmmm, :rofl:

Get Moto G (2014)

Get moto g 2014 and enjoy

Sony Xperia SP has adreno 320,why not to consider it?
I couldn't find ZR at 17K anywhere it is rarely available at 20K at local shops.
Is Moto G available locally?

Adreno 320 is really a very good gpu,you can throw any game on it,

Sometimes Flipkart have ZR @ 18k...... Check FK daily

Even though SP has good HW but SW side is ot good, so Moto G 2014 with Lollipop would be better overall

SP is stuck on buggy 4.3, will never get 4.4 officially. Go to window shopping, you won't find phones cheaper than online stores. Moto G (2014) though may have 305 but is good enough. It won't be available locally. Shops don't sell anything they can't make profit off.

Moto G 2014

SP has better cpu and Gpu then Moto G how can you say that Moto G is better than SP.just because of a os.Why the os is so important?Os doesn't matter that much.The thing is matter the specs not the os.

What heavy games are you looking forward to play? I have tried asphalt 8, NOVA 3, Sega Tennis, COD strike team and only strike team has problem running the game where as other ran on medium settings.

4.3 was very buggy ,doesnt matter if it has superior hardware
overall Moto G>>>SP

That is one fact let us move towards another fact. While playing games we also need a good amount of ram free in order to move through the frames without dropping a big amount in them. 4.3 is okay but kitkat was optimized for 512 mb ram phones. In that scenario you will not be having a lot of trouble in using the phone when you will be using it for gaming. This aspect is generally left untouched in high end phones since they have a good amount of ram generally unused but when it comes to 1 GB it is something one should keep an eye on. We are here to only suggest and rest choice making in your hands.

asus zenfone 5 has 2gb ram, it has zen ui, one good thing about zen ui is you can directly install all the apps directly to sd card, that is a huge plus point. You won't find a phone with 2gb ram at 10k. Brand is Asus so you can expect high quality internals.
Best choice will be asus zenfone 5.

Zenfone 5's GPU(PowerVR SGX544 with 2 cores) is comparable to Adreno 305 but Adreno 320 is considerably better.

Yes it is right but adreno 320 is better than adreno 305 and u should buy a better thing for your price spent.

That's why i m saying to buy Xperia SP.

Yeah,Xperia SP is a good phone if you don't care about updates.There is no other phone with Adreno 320 within your budget.

SP wont show its true performance unless you put a proper custom ROM
android 4.3 is buggy and hinders performance compared to later android builds which are better optimised so i wouldnt say you can take advantage of a better gpu fully
