Any specific mobile phones in consideration- Google Nexus 4 waiting for Nexus 5(skeptical about its pricing). Sony Xperia SP (same specs as N4 from what i read). Let me know of other phones i could consider in the price range. I set 25k price range coz I lloved the idea of getting an N4.

Planning to buy next month start, or by release of Nexus5. I want the phone to be compact, end-to-end display and stuff.
Few Sony phones have a lighting feature at bottom which I'm not a big fan of.

I am quite sure the new Nexus would arrive in India after 3 months of US release. So if you can wait that long yhen you should wait.

Otherwise N4.

I also happened to see GalaxyS4Mini at 25k pricing.

Also, since the N5 hasnt released yet. can I expect it to be priced around 25k range?

N5 would probably be released around 30K but I guess that would be around Jan 14.

I would suggest N4 if LG is fine for me, S4 mini if you need Samsung.

S4 mini has advantage of much better battery life thsn N4 otherwise N4 rocks in other aspects

nexus 5 will launch next month

I too want to buy a phone priced around Rs 20000... Will buy in October month.... Kindly suggest me please...... The phone must be ANDROID.

go for xperia sp. see nexus 4 is available either online or at lg stores. also check about service centers near your home and if they know how to handle this phone.

Nexus 4 any day.. Xperia SP is not good.. N4 has a better display.. only SP has better camera... N4 !!!

If you have no problem importing from google store buy nexus 4 16 GB for 15k only maybe 2-3 k shipping

if you can consider windows phone 8, you can consider Lumia 920 also.

.....

I want dual sim phone

If you can wait for N5 to be released, and have a relative living in US, then get it. Otherwise just forget of the thought of buying it from India cuz it will be priced very high.

Else get an s3. S3 is the best phone out there at that budget. Hope this answers your question.

Xperia SP

T

Nexus 4 is better than SP

Get Xperia ZR = Water proof & having a SD slot.

Take a look at the Lenovo K900 once as well

It's superior to both Nexus 4 and ZR hardware wise.

^ PowerVR SGX544 < Adreno 320

Lenovo having a atom dual core, heating issues.

How is it superior to both Nexus 4 and ZR hardware wise ??

Nexus 4 or optimus g.

Nexus 4 as well as K900 suffer from heating if you throw some heavy game.

commonly known fact: android is not butter smooth like iOS or WP. Atom will score more marks in benchmark (thanks to the power of X86 architecture). But 544 MP2 on a 1080p display means you are forcing the GPU to run at 100% load which will create more heat and ultimately throttle and causing lags. this is just a theory but this been seen on multiple mobiles so should be true for K900 too.

^ yeah true that.

BTW who is she in DP ? :mrgreen:
