Well my friend is looking for a new mobile and let me fill a questionnaire
1. Budget 22-25k(+2K max)
2. Display type and size: 5inches+
3. Dual sim: Not neccesary but better if included
4. Preferred choice of brand : Not any but no indian brands or xiaomi.
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera): a great Back Camera
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc): anyone
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready):3G
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc): Heavy Camera usage and a light browsing... little to no multitasking
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration. Well i was considering Xperia T3 which is up for preorder on flipkart
10. Any other info that you want to share: Well friend's father has already said no to indian or chinese brands. And yeah the mobile is basically for flaunting so if it looks good then it's an added benefit.

Would've recommended Xiaomi Mi3 but since the phone is for not so techie person, +1 to [strike]Xperia ZR[/strike] Lg G2

^^it's out of his budget by around 3-4k so i don't think he will be able to get them. what are your views on Xperia T3 ... it does looks amazing .. Even though is not power packed but then again all he needs is camera and screen with no gaming at all. Anyways any better product from samsung :evil::razz: or LG/Sony or maybe HTC??

G2 has Snapdragon 800 (quadcore Krait 400) whereas 816 & T3 both has Snapdragon 400 (quadcore Cortex A7), same chipset powering Moto G & Grand 2. T3 is the biggest joke i have seen from Sony.

Sony T3 only looks good but is overpriced it got same chipset as moto G.

^^He doesn't want a phone with less than 5inch screen...
Anyways he has decided to buy a G2 within 2-3 days so i guess the point is moot. thank you all :)
