Need advice on buying new cellphone

Hi friends,

I was using Micromax A70 before but it got touch problems so now i want to buy a new phone.
Please suggest any good option as per the following:

1) Android OS
2) Good camera{720P is must)
3) Good RAM management(min 512Mb)
4) Good battery backup
5) Strictly under 10K(Can extend 1K)

Strictly android OS??
If not you can go for Nokia Lumia 520, suits all your requirements..

Xolo X910.

^ +1 for that.

Also have a look at Xolo Q800

How about ZEN ULTRAPHONE 701 HD ?

^ Never heard about that device.

Do not buy desi phones as there after sales service is very bad..
Even though XOLO X910 is a good phone but its service is very bad.
I would say you go for Lenovo P770..
Lemme tell you Lenovo p770 has HUGE battery out there...
But its price is 13k

Thanks for the suggestion and it look good but my budget is strictly 10k and LENOVO P770 is at 13k - 15k

Since, You didn't mention anything about waranty, What about the Pantech Burst?

you want to go for a desi cell, they dont have very good ASS(After Sale Service)..

Lenovo is good man...I hope even their service gets better as there are new lenovo upcoming phones..
If strictly under 10 k Then nokia lumia 520 else some desi brands such as MMx and xolo...
And yeah pantech burst if u dont care about warranty

that too after beaten once by MMX.

@OP : you should have learnt something buddy..
never buy #^%@$#%#$^ desi cellphones, however "better" they may seem, they are all "HITS" in their own sense..
(move the S to the start)

and lenovo is good, you'll dont need ASS actually..

there are options in lenovo,Sony which are far better than Desi models..

just my :2cents:

, save for some time, and get P770

Lenovo launched 5 android phones..
Lenovo IdeaPhone A390 is priced at 9k featuring 4.0 ice cream sandwich (sad

)
4-inch capacitive display with 480 x 800 resolution
It is powered by a 1GHz MTK 6577 dual-core processor and 512MB of RAM.
5MP and 1500 mAH

M

^^ IMO, dont leave a390 just for the #4.0 ICS..

edit : the battery might be an issue.

and you may also like to visit this thread : Sticky: ** ~10k mobile advice thread **

though ico made that thread just for this 10 K purpose, nobody seems to see the Sticky's.

yeah battery might be a issue but in less than 10 k ..ITs OK.

Some optionss you can consider...... MMX Canvas 2/2+, Xolo Q700/Q800, Huawei Ascend G510

Canvas 2 has rooting methods available.....my friend has his Canvas 2 rooted.

M

^^ why recommend MMX again, OP has already got once SH**ted by them, why again..

IMO, though Hauwei is a Pure Chinese, its better than MMX

still, let the OP decide, my vote goes to either Lenovo P770 or Lenovo A390 or Lenovo A800

@ OP : also mention whether Front camera is Required or not.. cuz Lenovo a390 doesn't have a Front Camera..

Lava is the manufacturer . isn't it ??

edit : one more option :LG OPTIMUS L5 II (MT6575 1.0GHz Single Core)

edit 2 : Lenovo P700i (1.2 GHz Dual processor,5.0 MP Auto Focus/0.3MP , 512 MB RAM, 10.16 cm (4") , Android 4.0 ,2500 mAh) also is good.

get Lenovo P700i if you find it anywhere..

here you go :

Having an android with just 512Mb RAM is not future proof..

M

^^ yup..
but considering the budget,
and the fact that if Op buys a desi/china set, he wont even be able to call someone from his phone,
512 Mb seems Ok to me..
let the OP decide..

@OP : if you want higher RAM ,you may go for Galaxy S Duos or better, save some money and get P770 :wink:

get a windows phone, simple as that.. they work great with even 512 Mb RAM..

M

^^ but then, there are not may apps for Win 8 .
PS. I dont want to start an Android v/s Windows Battle here :wink:

There arnt many apps since its relatively new, wait another 2-3 months and there will be a surge of these.. And its not apps but there is a scarcity of WP games AFAIK..

M

actually, Both

May be, it'll have more apps/games..

I guess they are more than enough for starters.. ;-)

^^ Hope OP changes his Mood towards Win.

still, i think Android is more Customizable, app wise.. (Maybe Android Fever

)
anyways, since so many apps are already available for Win8, NL520 is a good one for OP's needs..

edit: i think i, too need to change my thinking about WP's . :mrgreen:

I don't know about others but i feel that WP are not USER FRIENDLY at all.. I had checked a WP once and didn't looked at any after that..
A normal user can use & UNDERSTAND a new ANDROID but same cannot be said for WP..
Lets not start debate but i want an ANDROID phone only

M

then the options are already mentioned above..
choose and then confirm..

BTW, WP is Userfriendly , just need 1 day to get accustomed, No problem, if you want Android only..

WP is user friendly but not that customizable as Android for sure..

M

^^ agree with ShankJ completely

@OP : choose wisely.. :mrgreen:

OK.......if u are fine with MMX, then get Canvas 2.......otherwise Huawei Ascend G510 , it has 4.1 out of box.

Another good option is LG L5II

Op go for lenovo p770 android at 512mb ram will be hell laggy. there are no good android phones for 10k.
Better go for nl520. or lenovo p770.

These Lenovo phones are stuck on ICS though but still good hardware

^^ one cant get all of the heaven onto the earth for just 10k .
@OP : say something buddy. its like we are discussing among ourselves..

and IMO, dont go for anything that has MMX on it.. , just my :2cents:

Sorry buddy but i thought that this discussion has ended on last page only as i didn't seen that it moved on to second page..
See the fact is that i have to go for brands like MICROMAX, KARBONN, SPICE, LAVA etc if i have to stick with 10K budget..

M

^^ Get lenovo then..
atleast you will use it for atleast 1 year. not like MMX thingy.. it wont last even for a year..

but, afterall, its your choice.
good luck and happy Bargaining. :mrgreen:
