That's not the Zenfone 3 and most probably won't be launched in India.

ZF3 would be priced 22k apparently :facepalm:

Zenfone 3 is scheduled to be released by August end or in September in India. So wait for if you want to buy from Amazon/flipkart. Okay.

Zenfone 3 has 3 variants starting from 15,999...

Asus failed miserably with the specifications as well as the pricing for all ZF3 variants. Only a noob would buy them for current price.

I am that NOOB buddy...
But my preference is MS Lumia.

Zuk Z1 has mokee 6.0.1 custom ROM which is very stable & Zuk allows rooting and flashing custom ROMs so warranty will not be any issue.

I think this will be best for OP within his budget.

I'm back from my viral...
Moto G4 plus 3GB is 15K and is higher than my mentioned budget.
so do i have now to choose from - Moto G4, Moto G4 Plus 16GB/2GB.... ?

I managed to take Moto G4 of one of my colleagues to home and it was found to be bigger device to handle by a female.
: ) as i already mentioned in my first post that this mobile will be used by my wife....

Now Should i convince her to manage using this device size OR do we have something else in store ??

Seems like you need a 5" phone instead. Get a Redmi 3s Prime tomorrow from flipkart/miui store.

Your wife will not face issue with size of phone.generally males keeps phone in pocket which can cause issues but females generally carry them in hands or bags so no issue for them.

Thanks for the help guys. I was able to get Redmi 3s Prime. Wife used it for 2 days but ultimately it was returned.
Reason :
Unsatisfactory Camera...Better one required(Need to click lots of events pics).
Hybrid Slots....Practically not possible to manage.(as she has lots of Videos to store and dual sim needed too..)

She is ok with Moto Series and Now decided to go with Moto G4 Plus - 16GB will do OR 32 GB is necessary ??
Thanks

Get whichever fits your budget and add a 64 GB microsd card if storage is still an issue.

Hi, Guys !
Didn't expect my service center visit will be such soon. Going to them today...
Issues :
Display screen has a little yellowish tint.
Incoming Call quality - vol is low and slurred.
Camera pictures seems as if clicked from 8 mp camera...Not sharp at all.

All above issues are faced from day 1. Hoping to get replacement.... : (

ooh no so my guess was right, it still have quality issues

just due to this I couldnt decide on moto g4 plus till now even if it fits my requirement perfectly. very bad lenovo, creating a bad name for moto

This is where a Good service provider comes handy. I'm getting replacement now. Service center guys mentioned that it was a hardware defect.

bro thats not what we want...a new phone gets to service center within a month. I want it for my dad, who would get scared even if its a software bug.

Hmmm, same scary feeling came to my wife....but this is an electronic device which (though tested for quality) is sometimes prone to unexpected issues.
But i was told by one of my friends that few devices' box are not even allowed to be opened / checked by seller, and it is done by manufacturer himself for eg Moto,Iphone,etc.
Although this can happen to any device i guess.
