need android phone [budget 25k]

S

First of all, hello guys, I am a new member here

so i have been looking all around for an android phone suiting my needs...

1. I do a LOT of messaging so i want a phone that doesnt lag accessing sms's on the phone...
I am tempted by brilliant designs provided by SE (xperia series) but sadly, all of them have a lowly 320 MB internal memory available..
the RAM is 512 MB but again, the available space is mediocre

2. i click pics very often...so an 8 MP snapper would be preferred, but i might settle for a 5MP if other specs are promising

3. i do indulge in gaming...the phone should be able to play hd games without lagging

4. minimal Internet usage..i will be browsing the web just occasionally..not regularly

So what phone should i go for ? Should i wait for sometime so that more mid range droids are available in the market ?

Nokia Lumia 800. Used it the other day. I cane away impressed. Windows Phone is an excellent OS.

^^ he needs an android phone. Go for Samsung Galaxy S II.
1. It has a good messaging interface and a 4.3' screen for convienient typing through its virtual keyboard.
2. 8MP camera. 1080p recording
3. HD 4.3' AMOLED screen on which one can enjoy games
4. Browsing is just fine with the android internet app.

But, a better choice would be to wait for xperia p and xperia s because you can enjoy playstation gaming in these mobiles if you like gaming.

wait 15-20 days more IMO

It is an excellent OS but its relatively new as compared to the likes of android/iOS which are well established...
the main reason i'm counting nokia/windows phone out is the lack of applications and developer support.

yes, i think SGS-2 is the right choice..but i have a strict budget of 25k..and the price of sgs2 it not less than 29k

what are the opportunities ? htc one S seems good..but i fear its gonna be overpriced
Galaxy S Advance also seems nice but dunno when its gonna land here :mrgreen:

Try the Lumia 800 once and you'll understand what I'm saying. It is the phone to buy if you can't get Galaxy S2. Developer support is improving all the time. Any particular apps you find are missing in WP?

may be new arrivals will be over priced- out of budget but it will sure affect current phone prices. Prices will Drop so may be then you can buy S2 or any other phone

Plus Sony's new mid range arrivals will be worth looking of

The best option available right now is HTC Sensation for 24k

S

^^^ Sensation has lots of bugs. Try Motorola Atrix 2

Get HTC Evo 3D for 24k from saholic

Lumia 800 over SGS2.

^^^^
Windows over Android!!!
But why?

windows over android..?

a wha....??!!

Tired of Android,the hype around it.
Love the nice,clean and simple u.i of the Winmo 7.

Hmmmmm....
Thats true bro...
But still love the apps and games of android which windows lacks.
The simple and nice UI of windows seriously rocks

Lumia 800 is a brilliant phone, but SGS 2 is better. I'd pick the Lumia if I already had an Android phone. If not, SGS II.

Y

htc sensation..

sorry for using the thread,here i found a lot of a lot of options like:samsung galaxy s2,htc sensation,htc incredible nokia lumia 800,htc evo 3d..
but only one vote for sony Ericsson xperia p?
Any reviews how is this phone?Is it in the budget of 20-26k?
If yes,should i go ahead and buy it?

Xperia P has not arrived yet, so we can only comment on it after it arrives.
Even One S should cost around 28k which will be best option and is going to give a touch competition to Xperia S

don't know when will Sony stop using the abandoned processors in their smartphones. This way they are scoring more profit. This time if they don't price Xperia S properly, Quad Core mobiles will surely eat into their profit. Most peoples will go blindly for One X or S3 and whatever is released if they can find it within budget.

correct this. One S.

1st-Don't buy WP7 if you got boored with Android cuz In WP7 u can't transfer files via bluetooth and there is no USSD support in WP7 yet which means no Last call bill, no Plans activation .LOLzzzz IT suxx + It Comes with Locked Bootloader so No Jail-break till now and no Custom Roms

and

2nd:- If u still want to buy a WP7 Device go for Samsung Omnia W Because it is better than Lumia 800 is features cuz----:-
Samsung Omnia W Has
1-Super amoled over Amoled
2-1,500mAh over 1450mAh
3-Glonass Supported
4-15,200 over 24,000(Price)
If you will buy Nokia Lumia 800 I bet you will get F**ckin Battery Life and will regret ur decision soon..
So If you Want to Get A WP7 get SAMSUNG OMNIA W @ 15200
Go For it If You can Ignore the fact that NONE OF THE WP7(1st Gen and 2nd Gen) device won't be
upgraded to WP8/"APOLLO"
Which really damn suxxx!!
Rest is your choice!!

They do it because afterwards they have to decrease their prices

Remember the old Arc which was priced for 30k before and then it was available for 20k just after a couple of months and then they launched Arc S and then reduced its price also by around 5-8k.
This is their cheap trick to earn more profit.

correct this. One S.

Oh thanks for telling me.
Corrected
