Looking at Xperia SL, Samsung Should price S2 at 21K now.

Go for Samsung Galaxy SII. Samsung started rolling out JB update for SII.

Really old set, check this: Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II vs. Sony Xperia SL - GSMArena.com

Xperia SL trumps SII in every single department, except a card slot, but Xperia has 32GB.

Bro you need to game and also you need a good battery back up, I would highly suggest you to increase your budget and get Note 2.

You should reconsider: Sony Xperia SL vs. Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II - GSMArena.com

SL has higher res screen, higher PPI, 10 finger touch, a much much better back cam, both CPU and GPU of SL is faster, and a bigger battery, don't get me wrong, SGS II is an excellent phone, but for the price samsung is selling it in India is daylight robbery, no way that prehistoric A9 dual core is worth 25k.

LOL. Which GENIUS told you that?:eeek:
AMOLED is much dimmer than LCD panels.Xperia SL has around 550nits bright screen, SII is hardly 300nits bright

So SL is about twice as bright compared to SII

The best options you have got right now in your budget are One S and Xperia SL, if I would be at your place and have to pick anyone among the two then I would have opted for One S.

Best phone is 25k?

Nexus 4 any given day. Comes to you 22k here in India, if you know how to get it.

And if it has any issues? 25k straight down the drain.

To each his own. From what I've read, none of the phones have issues now. The first units, the rev 10 had all the hardware issues u can think of.

Not the newer ones. But generally, there are no issues. Unless, we'll, you are extremely unlucky.

Every product has manufacturing defects, maybe as low as 1/10000(that's 0.01%, pretty low), but ts there, that's why we have warranties, nothing to do with luck, so if someone gets a nexus with a mfg defect its end game, nothing he can do, IMO anything above 20k should not be bought without warranty.

Pantech Burst is the ideal phone which can be bought without warranty :D

Doing research for the last three months..
It doesn't break unless temperatures fluctuate or falls down real bad.. From what I know...these are the only ways it breaks.
