If you can wait, do wait ..
MWC is almost here. ( starts tomorow ) ...
saw this on Gsmarena : MWC 2014: Here is what's going to happen - GSMArena.com news

NOTE : The phones shown at MWC might take much longer to be actually launch.

I mean will there be a Drastic drop in the Price??? I mean Z2 may Launch at 45k+ tottaly out of my Budget
Will the z1 price fall below 30k or is it ok for me to buy the z1 for 33k currently

My speculation :

The Z2 might release around april 2014. In about a monthafter its release , There's a decent chance that you could get the Z1 @ about 30k~.
So, if you can wait until May14, you can get the Z1 @ 30k-ish..Until then, the Z1 won't go under 30k.

imo, i wouldn't wait for it..

MWC is round the corner. however you will have to wait further for the Z1 prices to drop. sony's new flagship will be announced tomorrow and launch in less than 2 months or so in India. But dont expect a big price drop... IMO get the z1 if you cant wait for 3 months or perhaps more

Wait for MWC to show the technology & price trend
in comparison to competition between companies.

Location, Dates & Times | Mobile World Congress
Mobile World Congress 2014 will take place 24 – 27 February 2014.
The event will once again take place at
Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain.*


It will be worth to check.
Dealers & Distributors will get clear picture after MWC only.
Then most Dealers / Distributors will like to clear their stocks within 2weeks or a month.
Most companies do Price Drop between 10% minimum to 20 % maximum in next few months or quarter.
Not more than 20% drop is expected as seen earlier.
