suggestion for a simple 4G phone

1. Budget - INR5000
2. Display type and size - > = for normal usage, one that works under sunlight will be good.
3. Dual sim - not required but will not hurt
4. Preferred choice of brand - any good Brand with ok ASS
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera) - Not Required
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc) - Any
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready) - 4G (VoLTE required)
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc) - Voice Call
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration - Lyf Flame 1
10. Any other info that you want to share - this will be used with a Reliance Comm. 4G sim and later if they do not offer VoLTE, then will change to Reliance Jio or some other operator.

Xiaomi Redmi 2 costs 6k, might be your best choice (Doesn't support VoLTE, i think)
Redmi 2 - Buy Redmi 2 8 GB White Online at Best Price in India | Flipkart.com

Other options:

thanks a lot friends for the suggestion. unfortunately redmi 2 is not available for delivery at my location (Lucknow) plus it lacks VoLTE which is needed. will ask about intex as someone known to me works there.

Lyf is not preferred / recommended? i think jio recommends that only and i am very much inclined towards that as i think rcom is not going to offer volte.

I think your budget is very low. In little high budget, there are more phones available according to your needs.

How about this :

Panasonic T45 (8GB, Black) Price in India- Buy Panasonic T45 (8GB, Black) Online on Snapdeal
Panasonic T45 - Full phone specifications

I think build quality of panasonic is better than Intex / LYF.

VoLTE is Network feature not Phone. So LTE band supported phones should support VoLTE provided the manufacturer adds necessary software [ OS Update ] support for VoLTE.
