The 3 phones you mentioned, all 3 of them cost over your budget, but if you are ok with that, I'll suggest LG G4 due to its camera & removable battery (LG was offering extra battery & cradle charger with leather one a few months back)

If you want a fingerprint sensor, then get Nexus 5X 32GB (16GB is too low for today's standards, that's why there is a 10k price difference)

You can also consider Lenovo Vibe X3 if you want. It's camera might not be at par with G4 but still it is good & well under your budget.

If you are okay with stalling your purchase for 2 months, then you can expect further price drops on G4 & Note 4 due to launch of G5 & S7. Also Xiaomi Mi5 will launch by May

Its screen breaks easily on drop according to user reviews like Moto x 2nd gen, it seems... Otherwise it is good (camera is not upto the mark too)

Mi5 will be in your budget

Don't know about any other new phone in your budget (ofcourse old phones will get price cuts)

Xperia Z3 + is available on Amazon India for around 26 K.

I am interested in buying it but sitting on the fence due to reported heating issues.

Pay 3K extra and get the HTC One ME. I guarantee it will satisfy all your needs.

Or else, go for Galaxy A8 or Xperia M5. All three phones mentioned in this post are due for Android 6.0 update soon.
