Guys since the xiaomi mi3 will be available again could you guys help me get one ?
All the people who are trying to buy the phone since the beginning would be notified tomorrow by flipkart and the phone would be automatically added to their carts.
Please pm me to help

Don't buy Mi3. The UI sucks as hell - Just my personal opinion.

Agreed

Moto G 2nd gen is a good choice for your budget

Some other choices:
Moto G (2nd Gen) vs Alcatel Onetouch Idol X+ vs Moto X (16 GB) vs Sony Xperia ZR: Compare Mobiles: Flipkart.com

Noteworthy mention: Sony Xperia ZR

Yes.
It is a great phone regardless.

From today, I officially have the option of switching from ZR to Moto G(2014) but I'll stick to ZR.

Guys Moto X 1st gen available @ 18k, good deal if you are ok with just 16GB storage. ZR has better hardware. Moto X has better screen & future android update promised, that's its only advantage over ZR
