hello
i wish to buy a new mobile within the range of 10k-13k
atleast 3.7" tchscreen, preferably more than 512 mb ram and dual core processor or a decent one if its single core and 1ghz atleast, front cam will help,good internal storage too.

i have shorlisted these currently
1.xperia sola
2.Huawei Ascend G600
3.Pantech burst

i read reviews on flipkart..
sola has battery issues , then issues with upgradation to jb etc
huawei user reviews report overall good phone built but not good enuf sound accesories, poor camera, n upgradation issues to jellybean
also abt pantech..if i buy it , i wil have to get it from U.S. ,so getting it unlocked or finding its accesories like battery and all later on..will that be a problem??
also pantech users report heating issues

also about others ..i dont go with any other xperia in this range..plus also not htc one v etc..
forgive me if i sound noobish at any stage..:p

would be better to wait & go with lumia 620 if OS is not a concern as it packs some serious performance for the price. its wp8 phone but much better than the androids in that price range. else increase your budget to 17-18k and get LG L9.

Go for burst if you're comfortable with the no warranty thing, else get Sola eyes closed.

Most high powered android heats up, so not an issue, burst issues are its batterie time and warranty.

Xperia J stands for Xperia Joke, and karbonn and micromax both suck as Indian companies(poor QC and A.S.S).

Mmx a116 should be your best bet if brand isnt an issue.

If brands matter to you then go for
Xperia Sola

If you already own a cheap android... Couple it with a good 7" tablet or an I- touch and get the best of both worlds.

OP, just wait for a couple more days.. atleast wait for the reviews of Micromax A116 before deciding..
Its a phone worth checking.. Im not defending MMX but its just not fare to say its crap, even before it's launch

The whole company is cr@p, and cr@p can only produce more cr@p, maybe flashier, but still cr@p.

Did you see my Micromax thread? Now tell me why I won't be pi$$ed, say you buy a HD7770 which is faulty, after 3-4 service trips each taking a moth(so for 3 months the product is at service center) how would you feel about the company, I gave it a chance, 3 chances, see what that lead me to, a broken tab and oodles of hate and regret for buying a cheap tab.

any htc phone with beats in 15-20k range.( so that imported one without warranty then will cost close to 11k-12k ).

Hi,

I have been using Huawei’s phone for quite a long time and I don’t face any such issues. Good battery back up and well phone built. Go for Huawei, it’s total worth for money

Thanks
