Atrix 2. Sensation will cost around 22-23k and won't be easy to find.

HTC Sensation is highly recommended apart from that you can also have a look at Xperia P.
Sola is good for people looking for a phone in a budget of 18k

Sensation.
Atrix 2 is better but service is going to be a real problem as motorola has shut down its operations in Asia Pacific. Hence not recommended.

Like others mentioned i'd reccomend sensation too other wise go for xperia sola . And if you can extend your budget another 4-5k go for xperia P or even GS2 !

Was also planning to buy a phone in this range. My only requirement is that it has a removable battery (which will allow me to carry an extra battery) and expandable memory (which rules out most of the sonys). The HTC one V is good but it has a single core processor compared to the dual core of the rest, how will this affect performance and its futureproofness

One V's battery can't be removed either.

I am also thinking of upgrading my phone (I have an old Wave 525 :p). I had a look at HTC One V, Desire V/VC and the Samsung Galaxy S Advance. The Galaxy S Advance seems to be better than the two HTC phones spec-wise, but lags behind them in terms of looks - I can sacrifice looks for performance.

Then there is Xperia P also @ 22k, but a friend of mine said its battery is not good, plus my budget is strictly 20k (not a penny more).

So which one should I go for?

S Advanced has best specs but from what i have heard there is way less community support and most likely no Android 4.0 update. So not only look wise it is a failure but the OS is strictly outdated.
If you are ok with Android 2.3 (please verify about the community support, i haven't checked it), S Advanced looks like a good deal to me.

I am ok with 2.3...and yes, there is not much community support on XDA for this phone.

So - to but or not to buy the S Advance? Is there any phone better than this one under 21k?

I won't recommend S Advance to anyone, not a good phone to buy.Rather get Sensation or Xperia P

@Sam : I am not opting for Atrix 2 because of Motorola's service.

@aroraanant : I can't stretch beyond 20k, otherwise I would have opted for Sensation. Correct me if I am wrong, but Xperia P's battery is not that great (1320 mAh).

BTW, any specific reason why you would not recommend the S advance to any one? As I've said before, I am ok with 2.3.

It has network reception issues, build quality problems and some other issues as well. Check Flipkart user reviews.

never ever trust Flipkart reviews - they are extremely biased.

@rahul yes I know, but sadly my budget isn't enough for S2...otherwise I would have gone for S2 only :)

@jatinrai199 : yes I am totally satisfied with it.. but the on-board speakers are not up to the mark.

u can find more cheaper in local stores now as it got a recent price drop.....good buy in the range...but wait for the diwali deals ..chances that Xperia S prices also decrease

Sola is good for people looking for a phone in a budget of 18k

But sensation has only 1GB of internal memory. Isn't that less?

No.
As my incredible S has 1.1GB memory and it is quite enough, I have used it for more than a year and I never felt that it is less as almost all the apps can be moved to SD cards
