Hey guys.

I am a complete noob at Phone buying.

So I wanted to ask ur help.

My dad wants a new phone, preferably from 18k-24k.

He is very simple, and will use the least of apps, Just he needs basic functions.

Android or iPhone or Windows, you people recommend which is better.

Thanks alot!

Very Simple?
Nokia Lumia 820 should be good

For a simple phone, why do you want to spend 18-24K?
Get a basic Nokia Asha phone, 311 or something in that line.
