Zenfone 2,LG G3, One Plus One,Desire 820,M8s,Mi4(not recommended unless you prefer it personally)
^^stick to these

Going with G3 is a option but the fact that G4 is going to be unveiled on 29 April, you might want to wait and if you can't wait go with One plus one.

Thanks for the suggestions. Dual SIM is also a requirement for me. That takes out few of the key top tier models.

Guys....... Dual SIM phones only

BTW, I think HTC Desire 826 is also a good option other than Zenfone 2

+1 to Desire 826 and Zenphone 2 (the 4 GB RAM version).

M

+1 for zenphone 2(4GB)

DONT get Desire 826,get Desire 820 instead

826 has a Mediatek chipset,not worth the hassle at all

Dual SIM is a must?

Thank you. I am also leaning towards either one of these two. How is the after sales support for Asus smartphones ?

Desire 826 does not have gorilla glass protection. Hope that's not a deal breaker.

Asus and HTC after sales is fairly good compared to other brands

which is why,if you read my comment properly,i mentioned dont get mediatek variants...........

Desire 826 & Zenfone 2 are OPs best bets...... Don't get Desire 820. its old now, and it deserves price cut

Depends on location. In my place it's shite, along with HTC.
