Android only

3g only but 4g can be good
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?
Multimedia,Internet,pdf reading,fm
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
Moto g2,Zenfone5
10. Any other info that you want to share
Fm radio is fast dying out from flagship phones which means no matter how far i extend my budget no phone fulfills my requirement of brand ,good specs and fm.

Hi guys
How does the new smartphone from samsung ,the galaxy grand prime stack against its competitors the moto g2 and zenfone 5.
I see the following pros
- The biggest is that it is the only phone in its range to have a front facing 5mp camera .
-The first snapdragon 410 soc smartphone
-Can record videos at 1080p
-Price is relatively cheap
-Removable battery

The cons are
-Mainly its qHD display
-Old tft screen display
-More expensive than moto g2 and zenfone
So guys if i had to buy choose between moto g2 and grand prime which one should i choose.

+1 to Moto G (2014). Doesn't matter if they use sd400 or sd410 or even a sd600, being overloaded with that crapwiz, it'll lag. they didn't release kitkat for international s3 citing that crapwiz won't run smooth on its 1 GB ram -_-
No point in getting it just for sd410. they won't update it to Lollipop.

and your 17k budget allows you to buy Moto X (2013) too. have a look at it. :)

Moto x doesn't support fm and i don't want to stream radio online so it won't do.

Try your luck tmrw!
Huawei Honor 6 is great bang for buck if you get on exchange offer!

Yes.But unknown CPU i.e , probably no updates and development support
Moto G 2014 is great, but it has a burning plastic smell

It isn't unknown dude.
They have manufactured on same base architecture.

Same as Moto did in 1st Gen Moto X.

Good phone.Wont disappoint.It has better ASS than moto in some states.

Grand prime is a crap phone. If you can wait i would suggest one plue one or Mi4 if you can't then get Huwaie honour 6.Watch youtube reviews its pretty awesome.

The huawei honor looks good but its brand is again chinese in turn of which there could be problems
-In getting support from service centres
-The armed forces have banned xiomi smartphones and i reciprocate their sentiment i personally don't want to buy their products.

are you kidding the huwaei and Samsung dont stand a chance in front of Moto's offerings- the Moto G and Moto X
Moto has better ASS,better build,better update system,better apps which arent bloat,better design etc
