better buy Moto X or Xperia ZR
SP won't get Kitkat :facepalm: and M2 is overpriced (should've been at 8k)

Yeah.. If your main usage is camera, check out the galaxy grand prime.. It has a pretty good camera, decent specs, but the TouchWiz might hamper your experience.
Don't expect neither Samsung nor Sony (specially) to provide updates for the next 2-3 years. Sp has reached eol and won't be receiving updates.. Expect eol for m2 around Mar-April 2015..motoX has a average camera but it is assured to receive android L and it has good hardware as well.

Redmi 1S/Moto G(Snapdragon 400) + (a brand name of SONY/LG ) - A crappy display + 5-10k = Give you almost the entire crappy phone from 14k-30k(All sony phones upto that budget,LG G3 Beat,S5 mini)

If you don't care about update's then grand prime is quite okay, But I would select Moto G

MOTO G is 5 inches and looks not very good.also it does not have features like NFC,1080p videos.
It lacks good camera.
Why you guys are not considering Sony Xperia SP?

end of line, stuck at 4.3 officially :facepalm:
thats why Moto X/Xperia ZR at 18k would be a much better buy

It will get Android L + M.

Sony always forgets its mid range, abandons them with a bug filled firmware, expect Xperia M2,C3 everything to either be abandoned with kitkat or a bug filled android L

do you seriously need NFC? yes, it doesn't have 1080p video recording.
clicked this pic on my way to office with HDR with 2nd gen Moto G. for an asking price of 13k, this is good enough, specially looking at the overall spec.

SP is discontinued, replaced my M2 which is actually really poor compared to the one it is replacing. no point buying either of these.

Xperia ZR is discontinued in stores and even only white colour one is available on flipkart.
Can anyone suggest me for a black Xperia ZR.
Isn't MOTO G is too big?
I saw M2 it is too slim.
Okay leaving Xperia SP out of the race.Well i am getting it at 15K.
Thought that krait cores are good and adreno 320 which is available in it flagship models.
