what is this galaxy S2 HD LTE you speak of?

If that is an imported one then you should know that Indian operators don't have LTE network enabled. And most probably the one you are talking about would be a Verizon one which would make it a CDMA device. Also there is no galaxy S 2 version with 1280 X 720 p display so the HD branding is quite misleading.

Ok, i never knew this device existed. Looks like it was made for Bell Canada. If the spec sheet is anything to go by this looks like a very good phone. with MSM 8660 and Adreno 220. I doubt any phone would offer this much performance/features at this price. So seems like a good choice. Other viable candidates around this price lack HD displays.

Also have you given any though to galaxy nexus. Though it has a lackluster camera and no expanded storage. It comes with a clean Android experience and timely updates. Though if you would be storing movies,music and HD games you will quickly run out of space.

Try finding out HTC Sensation, it will cost you around 22k.
And if you are ok with 12GB of memory then you can buy Xperia P too.It will cost around 22k in local market.
