I have an oppurtunity to sell my samsung galaxy s2 which is 3months old for Rs 25000(purchased 28000).
I feel the phone size is big for me also the battery is very poor ( even other phones are worse)
Despite having Several features( AUTO-ROTATION,SYNC,SENSORS to name a few) i have to turn them off to save battery (most of you too).
but I find the UI very smooth and also every app is compatible with S2 and runs smoothly.
If I where to sell what others phones can i buy for 25k or less?
Which have better battery then S2 and bit smaller in size like the Sony Xperia Range and HTC-ONE-V?
or how about wait for windows 8?

I'm going to Dubai in 15days may be I can find more Range of phones There like Samsung FOCUS which is not available here ( not sure if its avialaible there?)

I'm sure i'll sell it for 25k.
To save battery all features has to be turned off, brightness set to zero.
Then fr a moment think guys, whats s point in having in the most gorgeous amoled display when u set it to zero to save battery.

I might buy a new phone which is again S2 bcz I love the mighty power of this phone.. Anyways i will be getting close to MRP.

But my question is " Is there anything out there better than S2? "
No not S3...Too big for me

Its still bigger than S2 and OP is not comfortable with big phones so no go!

@OP : Are you strictly looking for Android only?

He said he is selling s2 for size and you're suggesting him even bigger phone.Go for Xperia P If you waant small phone with good display but it has weak processor.
And btw S2 comes new aat 25.5k here in Delhi.

I'm open to windows.. Could even wait for windows8..
Selling 4month old S2 and buy new for approx same price does make sense for me.

Need screen size of 4inch max.
Does windows8 support video calling?

I'l be buying next phone in Dubai.
I guess there should be some phones available in Dubai which aren't available here.
May be i can buy from there and use here without any limitations

You are getting 25k for a 3months old S2, man just don't think much and sell it.
You can get Xperia S for 27k, someone told here on TDF that One S is available for 28.5k which is also a great deal.

Ya Its a good deal.. But which will i buy later? One S and Xperia S both r bigger than S2 difficult to operate in 1 hand

Is it reliable to buy from EBAY? Are they brand new?
Where to get discount coupons?

There are new ones as well as imported hansdests on ebay, its written there in the details.
Just subscribe to ebay mails, you will get coupons in that.
If you feel 4.3" is big for you then opt for 4" or a 3.7" phone.

Finaly I have decided that........ I'm going stick with S2..i simply couldn't find an alternative to replace this beautiful phone.
Instead of selling mine i decided to sell IPHONE 4 to the buyer for 23k..I'll be getting 2k cut in it.. Not bad haan!
Thanks guys and specially those who asked me to stick with S2
