I am planning to buy Samsung galaxy s4 since it cost around 20k now. But should I buy it since its a old mobile although the features r same as s5 and its the cheapest mobile if I see the features and is kitkat updatable. PLz suggest.

Oneplus one has better performance, but the question is do you need such performance? Do you really want to play 4K videos in your phone ?(you can hardly find difference between 720p n 1080p videos, leave 4k)

S4 has better screen, better camera than oneplus n also it's more compact. Battery life is good.

It already has kitkat update n will soon get lollipop. So i would say, it's a great phone from a reputed manufacturer @ 21k

Yes, absolutely worth it at 20k. It's a great phone, with brilliant display and very very good camera.
Hope you will be able to wisely judge some obvious nonsense which are posted above.

That problem can be removed by changing the display setting.
It's a great phone except for that touchwiz part.

What over saturated camera? It's still one of the best Android camera phones out there! And as per display, it is not over rated by any means, it does have an excellent display!
What's wrong with some people!

Yeah Samsung s4 is a great allrounder device you could get in your budget.

But if you need much needed performance then one plus one is better
