For gaming/multimedia - pantech burst
Another option is Huwaei y300 but don't think it'll suffice for gaming needs.
And if you are after more established brands xperia E/tipo btw they don't stand a chance against the likes of pantech burst

Pantech Burst (but no warranty)

I have mentioned explicitly i need warranty, so that i wont have to face pantech burst suggestions. i am not a hardcore gamer. just tghe usual time pass types. please suggest within 8k, thts the limit of my budget.
