Go for branded mobiles from Sony. Branded. Trustworthy. Reliable and Good After Sales Service - Xperia L, Xperia SP.
Else you can check out Moto G.
Asus Zenfone is also reliable but has some battery backup issues.
P.S. - Before buying any mobiles (branded/non-branded), check out whether there are any Service centers for the mobile nearby your loacation. Do not go for non-branded and unreliable mobiles(chinese and indian) because they might come cheap but can cause serious problems later on.

I would suggest Lumia 730!

But if you are planning for Android go with Moto G2
