Under 21000/- Android phone

A

I'm having a Budget of about 21000/-
Please suggest me which is the best Phone in this price range.
Best hardware configuration.
Best user and multimedia experience.

Thanks in advance........

Some of the Android choices : Nexus S, Samsung I9003. I would recommend LG Optimus Black but there was an issue with it mentioned by gsmarena in its review!! The problem is :
"The in-call quality though is good but rather quiet even at the loudest setting."

If you want to buy online. Then the Nexus S is for you. great phone. 1 ghz processor. Lots of Overclock capability

Nexus S has 720p video recording?

I would prefer the LG Optimus Black over Galaxy SL

Go fot HTC Desire S,its a great phone.u will get it for 21-22k amd its worth it

N

If you want a good lookin phone then Optimus Black, else increase your budget by 2k and get either Galaxy S or Desire S.
Forget Galaxy SL

Hey guys just I see LG Optimus Black & LG Optimus 2X, I just love both phone. But should I go for between this 2, because I read some where LG release its Gingerbread update in late Dec.
Plz tell me the price difference between 2 shop person tell me it’s 5k difference in between 2 , it’s that true?
LG Optimus Black 20k
LG Optimus 2X 25k

HTC Desire S, the best phone without a doubt in the price range.. more memory, faster proccy and the HTC advantage.

gingerbread update should be there in a couple of months time or sooner.

LG O2X is a dualcore mobile & for 25k the specs are good. whereas Black is a single core mobile (much like Nexus S, Galaxy S, etc) but LG's brand new innovation called Nova Display. if you can spend 25k, get O2X.

Has Galaxy S got 2.3 update?

Yes. But I think it's not available in India yet. But those who are interested can use upgrades meant for other regions.

M

when it is xpected in india?

Look no further. Buy Nexus S.

U CAN GO 4 Motorola MILESTONE XT720,I THINK IT HAS GOT A DIFFRENT LOOK.

CHK IT OUT HERE: *www.phonegg.com/Motorola/MILESTONE-XT720/Motorola-MILESTONE-XT720.html

Dude at the same price Nexus S is better than XT720. The one area where Nexus loses to XT720 is the camera.

XT720 = Android 2.1
also with the extended side for the camera control, it looks bad. using it mayn't be easy too.

so guys let me know which is better Galaxy S or Nexus S?both h/w n s/w wise...
Thanks...

is Galaxy SL good choice ?

just forget about Galaxy SL. And if you are ready for Galaxy S, why can't you just save 2k more and get Desire S. G:S is old horse now and it may not get Icecream Sandwich where D:S most certainly will get the update.

Samsung Google Nexus S: Full Phone Specifications, Price, Reviews (Black)

Galaxy SL - Huh? No way now.
Optimus Black - Suddenly a really good looking phone with a novelty in its Nova Display. Same hardware as Galaxy SL, but recommended quite over it.
Nexus S - Very high VFM device. USP - Nexus device. Hummingbird chipset still rocks!!!
Galaxy S - Same as Nexus S with Super Amoled Display as USP, making it slightly costlier. Again, Hummingbird still rocks!!!
Desire S - Upgraded Desire. Great UI, great built, great design. Bother points - costlier than the above with very similar, slightly lower than hummingbird chipset. Slightly smaller screen than the competition at this price range.
X10 - too old to consider.
XT720 - Huh? Doesnt compare with the competition with its internals.

I am too Confused with Nexus S i9023 & Samsung Galaxy S i9000.

Nexus S i9023 Price: 18,990 ( After Discount from letsbuy.com)
(+ve)
Faster Android Updates
NFC (Will NFC Payments be available in india for next 3 yrs?)
Flash (Do we really require this in Day to day life?)
Three-axis gyro sensor
Flash Player v10.1 (Dose i9000 has this?)

Samsung Galaxy S i9000 Price: 21,690 (Ebay Deal off the week)
(+ve)
Super AMOLED Screen
Expandable Memory
720p Video Recording

Price Diff of 2700/- Which one should i buy???

Which Screen is Better SC-LCD or Super Amoled??

^^^ SuperAmoled screen is better.

Get the original Galaxy S i9000... Then root it and install Cyanogenmod 7 for super-awesome performance...

Cheers!

Go for Nexus S if screen(SAMOLED) doesn't matter to you. Else go for SGS.

I am more incline towards i9000 bcoz of Developers support. I am worried about the Flash Player(Can we install this on SGS?), NFC and Three-axis gyro sensor!! are this really needed???

Or else Can we expect a Price drop from SGS2 in Next 2 months??

I'll be visiting Bengaluru next week...Where Can i see the both this cell side by side??

SC-LCD for text and ebook reading and S-AMOLED everything else.

NFC: meh. it will take ages to see NFC in use in India.
3-axis: definitely useful in gaming and will be great fun to use.
Flash: battery sucking ****!

SwiftLover said:

not much but there could be a price drop and the best place to buy is online using coupon codes.

burn-in: only if you plan to you the phone for eternity.

I was talking about the Forum Mall in Koramangala.

The Forum

Go to Samsung exclusive showroom in there. Their pricing is good and you should be able to get a hands on on these phones.

S

@desiibond: Today, I was able to See HTC Desire S in Goa....the Sense UI is too good as compared to Samsung Touch UI.

Now, I am Daam Confused with following choice's :
Samsung Galaxy S
Nexus S
HTC Desire S
HTC Incredible S

The Showroom guy says, Go for HTC Desire S or Incredible S as they are quite reliable cells. He says most Samsung has PCB and some Digitizer issue ...he was referring to the touch screen thing. He being a Dealer for Samsung and Nokia..He suggests me to buy HTC..He has shown me his Personal Cell thats Desire S.

Kindly help me...as i don't have much knowledge abt Touch screen mobiles. This will be my 1st Cell other then Nokia!..Currently using E71!

if u can increase ur budget then I would suggest u to go for Incredible S another go for Desire S.I would not suggest you Nexus S coz it lacks many features...

^^How is Desire S better than Nexus S??All the features are same except for a 4" screen(Nexus S) as compared to 3.7" of Desire S!!If anything Nexus S is better than Desire S...

^^^^
Nexus S dont even have a FM radio and Desire S has a better video recorder and better RAM and many other differences are there

I guess Incredible S comes with 2.2 ver rt? Are there Custom mods available for Incredible S? Whats the Internal memory for Incredible S as i have read somewhere that the Android application installs only on Internal memory.

Pls Confirm.

^^^^
I personally own Incredible S and it has got an official update of android 2.3.3.
Its internal memory is 1.1GB.
And the applications can be installed on memory card also,it is not must that u need to install them on internal memory only

You need WiFi/3G, you will receive PUSH notification about OS updates when your phone is connected to internet.

GPRS speeds sucks and will take ages
