Plz suggest Android phone in the range of < 16/17k

V

Plz suggest a android phone in the range of <16/17k.
The brands with which i am fine with is: samsung, HTC, Sony, LG and motorola.

Minimum Expected Specification:
1 GB ram
dual core
4 inch or above display size
min reso: 480 x 854 pixels
3g, Wi-Fi.
decent camera and battery
preferably android 'jelly bean'
expandable memory.
dual sim is fine but not a necessity.

i wish to buy on EMI basis. i went through some models like Samsung galaxy core, sony Xperia L and LG optimus series but was not able to make up my mind whether i should go for either of these or for some other.
thanks!

Xperia L

R

Xperia L is good.

+1 to xperia L

Xperia L or LG L9 if you need a big screen.. If u can extend the budget look at Xperia SP

Looks like u've already chosen xperia l but just need a confirmation :lol:

what about samsung galaxy core? coz nobody mentioned about it, is it not good? xperia SP is beyond my budget. is there any other option than xperia L & L9.

I too would suggest Xperia L

galaxy core is ok phone only if ur budget is under 14k....And no, there r no options to l9 & XL in the range...

Galaxy core has dual core cortex a5 processor along with adreno 203 GPU
Even for 14k, it is just BAD considering you get the same thing with Huawei Y300 for 7.5k

+1 for Xperia L

Your price range allows me to suggest you with Samsung. I would recommend 'Samsung Galaxy Grand Quattro' & 'Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562' mobiles to choice from. You can select the one which meets all your demand features - dual sim, latest android, 4.7 inch display, wifi, with EMI options available on snapdeal goo.gl/s7ZWbe & moreover fast processor to support all your multitasking. All the best for your smartphone.

+1.... Get Xperia L.... I've used my friend's Quattro, it has a bit of lag....(A5 quad core, so imagine about A5 dual core)

How about xolo play ?

J

^ The recent update improved both cameras of the Xperia L,made it faster,and gives more free RAM. Get that.

Any suggestions for Micromax Canvas HD A116 & Spice MI-535??

he doesnt want indian brands....

Agree, grand quattro has really bad display and laggy performance... choose from XL or L9 only...

yeah, don't buy cr@p phones from local companies.

Xolo is from Lava, so after sales is a big issue. read in many blogs.

V

yeah, quatTro is a really good choice whereas S duos is not (mainly due to RAM). Quattro attracted m won 3 fronts,; quad core, slightly bigger screen and dual sim smart. by the way does benchmark scores need to be followed blindly, say if the higher the score than better the phone in comparison to other?
went through scores comparison of Xperia L and Quattro!

I believe that as both Sony & Samsung are strong players in smartphone market so it won't be so difficult to make a purchase decision. If buyer is not too specific for the product details then I would also recommend Sony Xperia L, as it also stands strong with compelling features.

Once a customer walks into a shop, most of the shopkeepers try to sell what they want, not what the customer actually requires and the customer ends up buying an overpriced cr@p.

Just go for a little window shopping, you'll know the reality.

"Hey Bhagwaan"
Samsung Galaxy Core and Galaxy Grand ko suggest kara jarha hai..
WTH Why on this earth anyone will suggest Samshit.
Totally Agreed with Luffyji.

Ive seen and handled both Samsung grand and s duos (not to forget core and quattro in between), and IMO, they sucked, compared to the campaigns they've provided through media. Only if they put in that much extra money in their budget phones. I believe samsung to rule somewhere, but only in the premium category. It doesnt offer same performance in the mid segment like sony or lg.

I hope you must be very much aware of the fact that, there are 2 types of customers - one who blindly go & change their decision on considering shopkeeper comments on top & the 2nd type know what they require even if hundred comments fall against or for. I think the question has been put up by @vinith nair to discuss what can exactly meet his expectations. So he would be very well knowing the window shopping etc facts to avoid getting fooled.
So buddy help him decide based on worthy discussions. he decide on the priority list of what features he cannot resist, this will help him land on better brand - either sony, samsung or else.

People here are there to help everyone & are well informed and they already had suggested the best in OPs budget untill u dropped in & made it a laughter dose

. So stop giving lectures like this. first have some basic info on different hardwares & stop acting as if you know a thing coz people here are smart enough to figure out a :noob:

.
All this made me say coz "S duos" is a joke for dis budget and you still kept acting smart even after being spotted :boink:

Lol .. you didnt notice S duos

. Damn man.. look at his confidence :rofl:

. that must be the biggest joke in recent past i came across

My vote goes to Xperia L and if you can extend budget just a bit, check Xperia ion for 20k.

Also, it is better to go for a used and under warranty phone like gs3 or nexus 4 for under 20k than going for **** like grand and Quattro.

Bro Please,
OP just get Xperia L or if you can extend to 20K then get Xperia SP..IMO ION will be waste of money now

Thanks for the intelligent interference. Actually if people would have been smart enough then would have not landed on such discussions as quoted by you. You have not gone through the posts before reporting it in a lecture.
