Xperia ZR
What Bluetooth issues? The issue might have been fixed in software updates, most probably

Some users in Flipkart reviews have mentioned bluetooth issues, that's what got me concerned..

Increasing my Budget to 30k if needed. Any suggestions? The camera should be the best compared to others.

Z1 Compact is the perfect phone for you since you dont want 5 inch screen.

I too agree with that........ Best phone, according to me, mainly because of its small size without loss in camera, performance and battery life

But if you feel, its screen is small you can consider S4.... It's compact for a 5" device, almost same size as my N4,just a bit longer & lighter in weight

S4. Z1 is good, but that display is horrendous!

Thanks a lot for suggesting. But Xperia ZL price is around 26k. How about it? It has 2MP front cam. There will be a lot of selfies clicked :-D:-D so wouldn't ZL be a good choice other than s4? ZR has a VGA cam and I've seen sony's front cams. They frame on moving the cam. :cry:

What about Moto X?
If you are feature specific then it is a good choice!
