An uncle of mine needs a phone under 9k.

No specific uses.
Would be using basic apps like whatsapp, fb messenger, mild gaming (playing the horrible game candy crush)etc etc.

What I have in mind is Lenovo A7000 or Redmi 2S.

Anyother suggestions??

Redmi 2s doesn't exists (yet)

Buy Yureka/Yuphoria whatever size/camera resolution he is comfortable with.

I've a friend with Zenphone 5 who has lots of complains, such as

1) Phone automatically unlocks, or screen just light up itself, even if you dont touch it or there are no notifications
2) Poor battery life. If you start taking few pictures its bye bye battery. Worst of all, battery is not user replaceable. Servicing ASUS mobile phone is a headache since they are so rare and service is bad.

If i were you i will start shopping online, specially the import markets and look for good refurbished phones. Mid to budget phones in India are crap . Better to get a 2-3 year old flagship than some cheap Chinese maal with super duper Snapdragon xxxxx .

Build quality is very good I suggest to update your phone as soon as you get your zenfone 2.
