51k is an overkill.... IMO no phone exists in the market as of now for that range. The max you could spend is upto 35K.

Get the moto razr droid/galaxy S2/ htc incredible S.

Or wait for LG's optimus 4X/ HTC oneX

@arora.prafull : First off android is not "rubbish". It might be your opinion but then opinions are often proven wrong.

Anyway, as khmadhu has already stated, there is only one phone in production to meet your budget which is the 4S. And no doubt it is indeed a good phone, but it is a really good phone for about 25k! Half the price it sells for. For 52k which it is currently selling, the iPhone my friend is pure garbage! and nothing more. Why would anyone on this planet want to shell out that amount for a minuscule 3.5" screen...??? One has to be either stupid or style and fashion conscious....

Anyway... to waste your money or not... its completely upto you... TDF members only make suggestions. :)

Kuddos!

whats the point of this thread? if you already own an Android and call it rubbish, get iPhone 4S 64Gb (if its available here).

why don't you suggest iOS to others ?

firstly not everyone have such deep pockets to spend on mobiles. secondly, peoples buy mobiles to use and not to showoff. Lastly, iPhone (not iOS) is rubbish.

I totally agree. I have used iPhone 2G from its launch, iPhone 3gs for 1 year, and iPhone 4 and 4s ( I jailbreak iphones, thats my favourite pastime, and i'm pretty famous in my school for doing that :cool: ). All i can say is, iOS is the worst thing ever made, atleast for people like us, who always lurk around to explore new possibilities with our stuff. iOS is for those people who are totally new to this mobile world and don't know much about using advanced features and customization ( like my dad for example, who needs everything readily available in his hands, like the phone icon, message icon, etc. ) . On the other hand, android offers variety of customization and a large community driven feature set because it being open source.

^^ Ios is not so bad,Ios is smooth.Apple app store is much safer than andriods app store.
But yeah,Android wins in customization withouth jailbreaking(I.e needed in ios to customize)

What do you mean by apple App store being more safe than android market?

Me too agree that iphones are really overpriced. And of all the people I know most of them brought it only because it is like a premium product which helps them to show off their lifestyle.

And pardon me if I'm being rude here but I think its plain stupidity to spend that kinda money on just a phone which might get obsolete in less than a year

Seeing that you prefer iOS and want gaming and entertainment as mentioned in first post, just get a iPhone 4s :wink:

First of all, we are going really offtopic, but still, as the OP needs just justification, ill go ahead.

^^ Ios is not so bad,Ios is smooth.Apple app store is much safer than andriods app store.
But yeah,Android wins in customization withouth jailbreaking(I.e needed in ios to customize)

Yes, to some extent the Apple App Store is better because of its high expectations from an app, it doesn't simply let any app to get in there. Also, apps from Apple App store are gaurateed to be working which is not the case in Android Market.

Its a great phone, even 16GB is enough but if you think you need 32GB then its upto you.

Android is rubbish .. I used it. htc sensation and galaxy S2 latest one. and currently I have incredible S.

android is really rubbish guys !!
Why you think Android is rubbish?
It is a very good OS,I know its not as smooth as iOS but its really good and it offers a lot of customization options(which is there in iOS but for that you need to jailbreak it).
Even I am using Incredible S and have used a lot of other phones like you did.And here on TDF every other guy has an android phone.
Please tell us why you hate android so much

why don't you suggest iOS to others ?
Coz its only there in iphone and everybody can't afford it.Simple as that

If you think android is rubbish then you have got only one option i.e. iphone 4S.
Otherwise you can also look out for the upcoming phone HTC One X

I didn't read all the replies, Why there is any need of sending offensive replies mates ??

this tKin guy wants to hit me, I guess !!

aroraanant's reply is good .. !

and all of above guys .. who so ever think that iphones are extremely ugly in prices ..!!
sit back down !! It's not for indians ..
you might also know that iPhone in US is 200 $ (on contract) !
and it is made for those only have heavy pockets ..
an android can come now a days even in 3000 bucks .. huh.. (I guess I wrote some high price :-D )
--
I agree that Apple is highpriced BUT they provide the quality.

We all know the fact that what we can't afford .. we always critisize it ..
Isn't it ?
...

Android have rubbish apps .. that's y I hate it.
It ruined my S2.
--

And ya ! android have lots of customization .. So do iPhone !
they both have different !

But seriously, you also have to agree that android apps slows down the mobile. aren't they ?
iPhone or iOS is smoother that android !

...

one of my friend also says that apple is not good ..
Why most of Indians hate that ? Answer I already given .. OVERPRICED .. haha !!

---

There is no need to continue this iOS vs. Android !

@thetechfreak
Yeah Man ! I'm going for that only ;-)

----

I want to know that why the 16 GB is enough ?
I was thinking to buy 16 GB only, but than when I came to know that there are some HD games which are nearly about 1 GB in size.
so I thought to go for 32 GB.

what do you say ?
which are those large sized games ?

Any phone which costs 51k is actually rubbish.
And those who buy it are politely called stupid with a big capital S.

lets get back to the required topic now. OP has said he'll go for iPhone 4S so no more comparing Android & iOS. iPhone is terribly overpriced we all know and that should end the iPhone vs Android debate.

iPhone 32Gb makes more sense. price difference is not that high and also futureproof in the sense that it carries more internal memory.

Hey no one said that iphone is ugly.
And why do day that its not for Indians.Indians are now more crazy for mobiles then any other country that is the reason why every company wants come here and get their mark in India.India is the country where the maximum no. of mobiles are sold all around the globe.Just see your friends and nearby and notice how many of them use a basic phone these days.
No offence on what you said but I think you shouldn't have said that "It's not for indians".
Yes I agree that it is made for heavy pockets as it is an high end phone and every high end phone can't be afforded by everyone.
And even I agree and I think everyone here will agree with you on that iOS is the best and the smoothest OS.
Android slows when we run a huge no. of apps or when the memory is low and its not the case with iOS.
But it doesn't mean android is bad.As iphone which is having iOS is not affordable to everyone,then android is the only option left and now we have got very good android phones in the market which can compete with iphone, you have to agree with me on that.

I agree that Apple is highpriced BUT they provide the quality.
+1 on that.
I like apple products very much and I know that their quality is awesome.
They give for what the charge for.But there can be some other things which they can provide and in somethings which are lacked in iOS like very small things such as no bluetooth transfer and depending on itunes sometimes.But then we can't get everything in every product, one has to compromise on some end.

an android can come now a days even in 3000 bucks .. huh.. (I guess I wrote some high price :-D )
Dude I thing you also know that what is the difference in 3k and a 30k android phone.
So please accept that you have made a mistake by saying this.

We all know the fact that what we can't afford .. we always critisize it ..
Isn't it ?
No, I don't think so.Here on TDF you will not find a single person with that kind of attitude.

Android have rubbish apps .. that's y I hate it.
It ruined my S2.
Thats not true.
I have played a couple of games(exactly same) on an iphone and android and their were a minor difference that too in a few games.As I said before iOS is smoother than Android but it isn't that bad.
I think you had some really bad experience, well there are exceptions.
Please accept that so many people can't be wrong.Again I am saying its not that bad.

And ya ! android have lots of customization .. So do iPhone !
they both have different !
Agree with you on that.

one of my friend also says that apple is not good ..
Why most of Indians hate that ? Answer I already given .. OVERPRICED .. haha !!
May be some think like that, but not all.
I call such type of people big Idiots or in my words morons

I want to know that why the 16 GB is enough ?

so I thought to go for 32 GB.

I think 16GB is enough but if you can spare extra money for 32GB then you can buy 32GB.Its good to have a good memory,there is no harm in that :wink:
But there is no such heavy games which is of 1GB(I think so as I haven't come through any)
