+1 to this.

Don't buy Sam$hit.

From where to get C ?? & its too overpriced for specs
I'm worried about its display also after seeing Sony M.

Just saw Huawei G610 coming soon on flipkart.

Its very difficult to convince a guys who always dream t of having samshit as his first Smartphone. For them HTC is some chinese & sony is an company who sells radios & TVs

Since you're friend's Primary use of handset is :
Mails, Videos Music, light gaming, office apps

& also since he wants a Big screen & good battery, i'd say

1. Xperia SP ( its single sim & around 20000 now, but totally worth the extra bucks )
2. Lenevo s920 & p780
3. Grand/Grand Quattro is ok as far as he's not into heavy gaming. It handles usual normal daily usage with ease. Otherwise, stay away.

i think Xperia C is slightly overpriced.

Ditch Shamesung and Overpriced Xperia C, Get Lenovo P780, best choice that fits the requirements in the mentioned budget.

OR, try to get the original Grand Duos (if he is into samsung so much) but please not the Quattro. Its one of worst handsets ever released.

I've put all option in front of him before posting here.
So I guess he may get grand in 16.5k from his dealer frnd.

Thanks for your help

Help me also I too wanna buy dual sim android phone in that range... After falling price of GALAXY S4 MINI i am extending my budget to 20K, Is is good or bad kindly suggest.. I am going to buy Mobile phone before Diwaali.

Xperia C @18800/-

You have the Galaxy S4 mini at 20k. But, as per reviews in India, it has serious n/w drop issues.

Lenovo S820. Bought this recently for a friend. great build quality, everything is running smooth. Looks damn good and surprisingly it dosent get hot.

@ashs1, Thanks :-D

@write2anandsharma, Would the P780 be a better choice than the S820 considering the bigger battery ?

For 18k, S4 mini is a good phone considering 1.5GB RAM, some other features

Within 18k, Huawei G700 is a great option

^^^ +1 for samsung galaxy s4 Mini. for future updates and hardware. but is it up for 18k? i doubt so...

S4 Mini is good for 18k, considering it has better processor than Xperia L (overclocked to 1.7), 1.5GB RAM, IR blaster(a cool feature), Samsung's touchwiz software features like Multi window, etc
