No,Moto Z play is overpriced and camera is not good.Get one plus 3 it is little bit over your budget but worth the money.

OnePlus 3 (Soft Gold, 64 GB): Amazon.in: Electronic

Still available.

It has no issues. Just oneplus decided to launch the 3T with a marginally better front camera and SD821.

This.

Z play should've been priced at 16-18k and Moto M should never have existed.

Edit:

Since the phone is for your dad, try to get something with close to stock android. He'll like the clutter free and smooth ui.

Moto G4+ is good unless you can wait Moto G5.

I remember when moto G 4 plus was launched it had a huge quality issues, I was reading amazon reviews and hell lot of cases registered about quality like something not working.
If one plus 3 is good then I will try to get it...how about getting one plus 2 now, its price falls in my budget and it also have everything?

My OP3 works good.

OP2 has a bad reputation to begin with. Don't know why they're still selling it.

I have increased my budget to 30k but I find only single handset One plus 3 and no other choice. Can you suggest any other handsets, any upcomming one :)

I dont want glass back handsets. Dont want more than 5.5 inch handsets. 4 GB RAM preferable.

Wait for samsung to drop s7/s7 edge prices :lol:

Or maybe just get a Moto G5/G5+ when it launches.
