If your budget is up to 23k then you can consider xperia sp or galaxy s3. Why s2?

Dont buy. S2 is good if you can get it under 14K (still better choice than every other android out there in that range if you are not a hardcore gamer).

as you stated your budget is upto 23K get Xperia SP/Galaxy S3. ( way bigger improverments over S2).

Get ZL, it is a compact 5" phone with a great display & camera
ZR is also good

Both of them have same cpu+gpu as N4 with other additions like better battery life, expandable storage & much better camera. ZR has better battery life than ZL but ZL has better screen & front camera
