My friend is planning on buying a new cell within 14K range and has asked for a few options.. I have shortlisted Lumia 620 and Galaxy S advance.. But she wants a dual-sim one, so it would be great if you could advice a few for her..

For dual SIM, u must either buy MMX Canvas HD, XOLO Q1000/Q800 or LAVA .

Samsung Galaxy Quattro should be renamed as Qua_throw.

Another great option is Xperia L(single SIM though) @ 15k, totally worth it

Xperia L is much better than galaxy s advance. Also check LG l7 II. This one has a mega battery and good specs.

In case of dual SIM phones, l7 II dual should be the best bet

for dual sim, do check Lenovo P770.

LG L7 II & Samsung Quattro has basically same spec (dual A5 vs quad A5). processor is really weak but depending on the use mayn't show its weaknesses.

She is a girl so processor wont make any problem as long as it runs subway surfer smoothly..;-)
The price of Experia L is above the budget.. Strictly 14K..

XDS is for 16K, way over budget..

I guess LG is going to be my last choice as far as i can see..

everyone pls stop suggesting S advance.. Its waay outdated, even for a price tag of 12k...
Either buy 15-16k Xperia L or wait for Xperia M -12-13k
