Need to buy a mobile

I'm planning to gift a mobile to one of the family member.
They have Galaxy S2 Earlier so this will be an upgrade.
Not much into gaming mostly will use it to take pics and install some Health Related Android Apps.

Currently I'm looking for Note3 or maybe S4. But I feel these are slightly expensive. Earlier I was thinking maybe Galaxy Gear Watch but not so much good reviews for it.

Any ideas?

Mention your budget... Note 3 is too much pricey...Galaxy gear is just a gimmick...

Get them a Huawei Ascend P1 or Sony Xperia L, no need of buying expensive gimmicky phones.

+1 to this ^^

or Get LG optimus G Pro for a real "upgrade".

It's for my wife and she recently bought Note2 for me so it wouldn't look nice if I buy anything apart from Samsung or some high end phone maybe Sony Experia. I was thinking about Note3 or S4.
LG doesn't have good resale value here in India so not sure. Also not keen on Huawei Ascend P1

Xperia Z1
Ditch Crapsung now

Buy HTC one (not the mini) or Xperia Z1 or stick with Note 2 then.. Note2 was the last great device launched from Samsung . Nowadays they are busy cheating in benchmarks and launching overpriced phones. Its just like apple of android :-D

, people will still buy whatever crap they come out with regardless of the price banking on the name they once built by selling groundbreaking products.

HTC ONE ain't available anywhere in India because HTC has discontinued HTC ONE in India
NOTE 2 is too old get Z1 it has the best specs under 40K

what about a iphone 4 or 4s?

Z1 is a good buy.

For your wife... Plz.. Give her a z1...don't give her a phablet.. It doesn't go well with the ladies... Z1 is sleek, sexy, waterproof.. Has the best hardware.. What else u want..

Guys currently the budget maybe between 20k-30k

for 30k,i think xperia ZR will do

xperia ZR

Another vote for Xperia ZR!

I think you can also get Xperia Z for 30k locally now.

Guys the occassion is during Novemeber 3rd week. Should I buy it now during festival season or wait till that time.

R

Xperia Zl is available for 26k on snapdeal.

Today I checked out 3 models in a nearby store. I'm poor in the exact models. One of them was for 41k and the other one was for 34 k.

However I saw another model which had a huge screen same Sony model and it was so light however camera was 8 MP.
One of the most important purpose will be the following two
1. Great Camera Quality for taking pics
2. Listening to Music
3. Watching Videos.

Currently my budget maybe strictly less than 30k however I'm willing to stretch it beyond if it's really worth it. I didn't find the Sony model that worth (price=42k). I think it was Z1.

Kindly let me know the best available phones for the price and the features mentioned. Also is it advisable to purchase it during Festival season.

Xperia Z ULTRA
Just buy ZR

Zr is nice and will tick all your requirements.

Xperia ZR......... Xperia Z is also good option (at 32k max)

I'm really intrigued by Z1 especially when it says 21 Mp. However I read somewhere by default it will shoot with 8 Mp.
Is Z1 worth the price? If it is I don't mind putting the extra money.

Z1 is definitely well worth the extra 8k over Z.

Had a look of Z1, ZR and Note3 in Croma some time back.
Not too keen on ZR. I would rather not buy it and buy something else than buying ZR.
Impressed by Z1. However the sales guy was trying to sell Note3. Was showing various options like while taking photo some erase etc options in Note 3. He made me think for a while but have read not so favorable reviews for Note3.

Now I need to look to get additional money for Z1. IS it better to go for Flipkart or any other online site for Z1. Most of the stores here are having it for around 41k max.

If you get it online get it from Flipkart only, others are not recommended.

Had a decent experience with Snapdeal. And currently its offering the least price.
How much would I get for uses Galaxy S2.

And is Note3 worth the additional price over Z1.

Thanks to all of you on your inputs bought Sony Z1 for 40k.

Samsung has put some serious features in its camera app (can't be ported). These features can be found in S4 & Note 3.

I personally think Note 3 is overpriced + India doesn't have Snapdragon 800 powered one
