1. Budget?
3-4k(can be extended but cheaper and more reliable,the better)
2. Display type and size?
any
3. Dual sim?
not needed as such
4. Preferred choice of brand?
tier 1 brands or high quality tier 2 ones
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)?
not a priority
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc).
i dont have a choice,android is only available in this budget
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready).
3G if possible but not a priority,wifi is main priority
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?
will be used at my business,only to communicate(whatsapp,recieve and send pics,calls,texts)
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
none,open to any decent suggestions
10. Any other info that you want to share
it will be used for basic functions but wifi is a must
needs to be a good brand,i know budget is too less but no point spending more when itll be used by employees who will rough use etc,shouldnt conk off due to manufacturing defects etc :p

yeah was really shocked to see poor quality chinese phones right upto 5k and no proper phone
once you cross 5k,you have a sudden jump in quality and specs
Lumia 530 may lack a few features but its feel and build is really good for a 5k phone i must say

Lumia 530 has picked up a lot of late since MS released that touch fix bug.
