Huawei Honor 6.

Or

Wait for One Plus One.

+1 for huawei Honour 6.

Honour 6 is 5 inch. I want a maximum of 4.3 inch display. My choice was s4 mini, but it lacks the usb support.

K

Moto X 2013 or Moto G 2014 any day
avoid huwaei ,one plus one etc they lack after sales and product quality doesnt match Moto

Get S4 Mini or better get Moto G 1st gen

K

s4 mini and moto g 1st gen?? why?? his budget can include the Moto X 2013 and Moto G 2nd gen why waste time on the 1st gen or a subpar phone from Samsung except for screen size

+1 to moto g (2014)
4g doesn't really matter in India because of no pan India 4g provider as of now.

+10000 4G will also be ridiculously expensive when it releases!! just like 3G was when it released
frankly i dont see myself craving 4G speeds especially since wifi is cheaper etc

So, i think i have to satisfy myself with s4 mini without usb. Closest was moto x but its without card support. And i want is a phone, not a 5 inch phablet

dont get S4 mini,get some other model
samsungs cheaper offerings arent worth it

Try to extend your budget and get Xperia Z1 compact. I dont think there are any 4-4.3 inch phone in 18k budget.

yeah dude get used to a 4.5" phone atleast,smaller phones are usually poorly made in that budget

I think 4 inch is a standard size. Keep a 4.5 inch in your trouser and look yourself in the mirror, it doesn't look good.
What are the cons of s4 mini, please tell

literally everything,for one theres touchwiz,poor build quality,the plastic bezel chips easily,camera quality is poor,updates can be an issue
trust me a 4.5inch phone is better in this segment,i use a 720 and Z10 myself which are 4.5 inch,no issues at all, 5 inch is a bit too big for me
if you really want a smaller phone,you might as well get the Moto E or 1st gen Moto G like someone suggested earlier,samsungs offerings in this segment are really bad

Moto e doesnt have a gyro.

having a 4g network license and having the 4g network up and running are two different things

i understand that but most of the people (specially those who buy from their own hard earned money) are interested in getting something that is future proof.

guys airtel has 4G in Mumbai and Bangalore,ive seen it in action on my friends phone,dunno how to activate etc though
his sim is a corporate sim from his company so dunno if thats why he got 4G
4G isnt fast enough yet,its just 2mbps faster than 3G on my phone
4G still has to mature in India

gyroscope is needed for photosphere shots. See the beautiful photospheres in World Panoramic Photography - 360Cities

if your really into photosphere shots check out the Lumia 730,best camera in that range and exceptional in low light
it has photosynth which is the WP answer to photsphere
no 4G and no OTG(yet)
but it ticks all the boxes
dont be fooled by its modest specs though,the battery life is great and the 6.7mp carl zeiss shooter beats any 8mp on other phones

8 mp is 4:3 on other phones whereas L730 shoots as full wide-frame shot
