Get Huawei P1/Lg L9/Xperia L. Xperia M isnt worth its price considering its performance/specs.

Check out XOLO Q800 or Titanium series. They are worth each penny you'll spend.

thanks but the phones you are suggesting are way above my budget...

i want to keep the budget as minimum as possible... dont we have anything below like 7k, 6k


the idea here is that it should give best bang for the buck

you need minimum of 1 gb ram these days for a lag free android experience. xolo q700 and pantech burst are your only options below 10k. else get lumia 520 (best vfm if u can ignore lack of camera flash)

Xolo Q700,Canvas A74,etc might be decent options

Well if your not brand conscious then you can check celkon A200 otherwise Titanium S1, Xolo A500S and Q600 will surely be the back for each buck you spend.

get xolo q800....you will not get any better phone than this in under 10K category....and don't wait...coz waiting never ends especially when you are going to buy a phone...

for huawei p1 you have to shell out 2.5K extra, 6K more for LG L9 as well as xperia L...definitely out of your budget...and canvas A74 sucks in battery,camera and processing department...so a big NO for it...xolo q700 has OTG (xolo q800 doesn't have it) and a bigger battery of 2400mAh capacity whereas xolo q800 has 2100mAh ...but inferior camera as comapred to xolo q800....IMHO go for xolo q800...best bang for the buck...

FK Price as of today...
xolo q800 - INR 9620 (buy the white version..just a personal view)
xolo q700 - INR 8850

PS: I don't understand why members offer advice to go for phones which are out of budget..this is happening so much lately in response ...definitely not appreciable

thanks for suggestion. i agree what is the point in mentioning budget then. by 10k does mean it should be 10k, it may be 6l, 7k, 8k provided we get best VFM spent, will check q800 and q700 personally in malls and then order online with some coupon, please let me know where i can get it at best price in Mumbai

Inferior camera as well as display , low ram... Just don't go for it.. And one of the reasons that i chose xolo q800 over xolo q700 is bcoz q700 doesn't support moving apps to sd by default when it's internal memory gets filled... And that was the deal breaker for me...

Under 10k & if there's no problem with Tier 2 brands, better you look at this monster.

Gionee GPad G3 with a 5.5-inch display, Android 4.2 now available in India for Rs. 9699

I just bought Q700 and I am happy with it. I saw Lumia 520 in shop. It is also very good phone. If you want to go for Windows way, it is L 520, if you want to go Android way then Q700 is good.

saholic is trustworthy but I would buy from their own site saholic.com.

Increase your budget and go for 1 GB Ram. Karbonn A12+ is the best VFM if you wanna buy a 512 MB ram phone.
