If you can buy Redmi 2 Prime, then get it

Otherwise Yunique seems good

Ignore micromax and other local rebranders unless it's from Yu series

Under 7k, Redmi 2 Prime is great

Meizu m2 also seems to be a great device, also it has a bigger display than Redmi, although there are no reviews of it from famous sites (it costs 7k, m2 note costs 10k)..... It shares it one of its SIM slot with SD card slot though
