I guess, A30 is above 7k.

1500mAh will not be sufficient to power dual core for long time, correct me if i am wrong. My phone comes with 1650mAh and it is just 1Ghz single core, and it lasts for one day in moderate usage, and less in heavy usage. After a lot of tweaking, it is now 1.5 days in moderate usage.

dual core Cortex A5 (50% indian dualcore mobiles) vs dual core Cortex A9 (most midrange androids). IMO, single core Cortex A9 will perform almost same as a dualcore A5. A9 is fast and so requires more power.

I heard that Lava gonna release a XOLO phone with Intel processor under 10k.

yup. X500. It has same chip as the bigger brother, X900 but clocked low. GPU is SGX540 at same clock speed as X900/LG L9. Sadly watching videos (or playing games) on a 3.5" HVGA display will bt no fun.

Then which is the best phone in the budget of 6000/- (which is also my query) with best battery and which is fast for normal video viewing with 3G.

Micromax has come up with Ninja A89 which is also a good phone.

Yes, now Micromax Ninja A89 to look out for Cortex A9 Dual core Mediatek 6577

Forget Xolo A500, Karbonn A9+ or other cortex A5 powered phones....

Errr. noob question

^^ SHOLO...... Or Zolo...

But screen size is smaller than Xolo..Can anybody comment on camera/ audio quality /battery life of XOLO..I am thinking of buying (IMO Lava is more reliable than videocon. I own a LAVA CDMA mobile from last 3 yrs..works fine)

I had seen the original Intel based Xolo X900. Poor built quality, bad viewing angles on screen. Not durable. It is difficult to recommend Lava Xolo over Micromax or Karbonn...

hmm ..thnx..so which android phone shud I buy (max budget 7K) for decent front /back camera, gaming and battery life

dont expect good gaming and not a single phone in that budget has a decent camera.
