Are u so specific about samsung ??
If not u can go for LG O2x (Dual core) around 21K ..

SGalaxy R Has really cool specs but i Don't know whether it would get future updates and has a saying that its production will be stopped soon officially.. (DOn't know how far its true)

Galaxy R is far better...
It has a dual core cpu and will get official ics update...

You can also use sites like gsmarena to compare the specs....

Are u sure SGR gets ICS update ??
gsmarena didn't mention that !!

Hardware wise SGR is GREAT !! - But i Don't believe there would be a good support community for it in the future ...

I would suggest O2x .. it too has Dualcore and good GPU ..
Had many positive reviews abt it ...
The only problem is pre-installed buggy crapware ..

According to this page

* forum.xda-developers . com/showthread . php?t=1464070

production of sgr has stopped to start make way for sgs3...
(curretly on mobile so couldnt paste link correctly, remove space and paste in address bar)

For optimus 2x, you will need to customize it to opitimize it otherwise it has crapware considering its hardware... It has a tegra2 chipset but still on froyo whereas the old(and still gold) optimus one has got gingerbread...

if you wait, before S3 Xperia S will land. that will force price of Arc S down to 20k. if you decide to ignore that Galaxy S Advance is on its way too. after that will come some HTC mobile. and then will land S3 as well as Galaxy Nexus. in short, what you want to buy, buy today. these kind of mobile announcement thing won't stop.

+1 to this. wait for S Advance. acc to some it should be the cheapest dual core processor based mobile. but if Samsung can price it same Optimus 2X, it'll be an even better investment.
