One shouldn't sacrifice performance for a removable battery and bigger screen (0.3-0.5 inch lesser isn't much) while buying a 20k phone.

If 4.7" screen is good for you & can live with non removable battery, then Optimus G (international version)
LG Optimus G E975 (Blue) Price, Reviews, Specs & Buy Online in India - Snapdeal.com

Otherwise Grand 2 is good for you

Another option (no manufacturer warranty, though)

Don't get E95! Super WFM(Waste of Money).
Battery Average
Screen Good
Camera Average
Gaming Good
Music Average

Very delicate phone!
My motherboard had to be changed 1st time due to internal issues!
My Screen broke due to pressure application by mistakenly
They charged me 7000 bucks!

Wait for a month so that S5 launched and you will Get S4 near 20k!
Or go with Lumia if you are comfortable with Windows!
I also recommend you Elife E6 and Xperia T2!

- T2 is too big to fit in pocket bro :-D so no to that.
- r u sure S4 will come down to 20k because S3 is 3 yrs old model and recently they dropped rate to 23k, so S4 just a year old phone will get such price down, i doubt it.
- Lumia UI was boring so no for that
- Gionee brand :oops: will it have good After Sales Service or resale value



Guys do i have any other good choices than Elife E6 or Grand2.:-?

I agree that LGOG is old phone, but its still better than most new phones that are launched in 20k-23k price internal hardware wise.

and official Kitkat for LGOG is expected this summer. Kitkat update for Optimus G confirmed for next month - xda-developers

I had visited croma, reliance digital and few other local stores today for a live demo of the phones. Checked the LG Optimus G, SG Grand 2, Elife E6 and Sony T2. Sony was not practical to handle in day to day use. Amongst Gionee Samsung and LG, goinee UI seemed kiddy, samsung impressed me most and I bought it for 21300 from a local shop. Will post the review soon. Thanks a lot to all of you for your valuable suggestions.

^ your money, your choice
you could have got a better phone if you bought Optimus G E970 (AT&T version), not the indian version (E975).

I suggest Galaxy Grand 2 or Xperia C or Gionee Elife E6 or Mmx Canvas Knight.
