Hello Guys! After a long time....
Recently my Defy battery passed away and I am up for a stop gap new android phone. Have plan to buy a high end phone in future (probably in a year or so).
1. Budget
No bar so far, but want a VFM! The cheaper the better. Since newly employed and will get a CC in a few days, I can extend my budget if needed but you know, mummy se jhad padegi
2. Display type and size?
Its important. Need a crisp and vibrant coloring and good visibility in sunlight. touch should be smooth.
size btwn 4 to 5. 4.7 or 4.5 preferable. Thinner is better. Don't want a rubberized back.
3. Form Factor? bar, slider, flip?
Bar of course
4. Preferred choice of brand?
Not much a fan of Samsung, but won't throw off the table yet. Not much brand conscious, but replacement should be available. ( not like my defy battery, I can't find a new replacement and a good quality battery is around 4k in ebay GEB ).
5. Preferred input method (QWERTY, touchscreen, numpad, touch-n-type).
Full touchscreen.
6. What camera option you want? Please specify need for flash, autofocus, front facing camera.
Flash and AF. Dual flash welcome. a front facing camera is good but not a must have. Dedicated shutter key is not important.
7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
Android. open to windows also but android preferable since lots of paid apps in my bag. Thanks to google promotions.
8. Preferred connectivity options (3G, Wifi etc)Please specify clearly.
3g, Wifi (hotspot enabled). Dont know the differance btwn blutooth 3.0 and 4.0. NFC is good to have.
9. Preferred applications (Flash, Swype, GPS, etc)?
All of the three.
10. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, mails, internet, gaming etc)?
Music, Mails, few games, Camera and little bit Development.
11. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
Xperia M, Xperia L, Xolo Q800, Optimus L9, Nexus 4.
Blown away with the hands on of HTC one and the specs of Oppo F5. But 40k is too much right now and $ conversion rate bets against oppo F and R819
12. Any other info that you want to share
Will root the phone within a month, good collection of custom rom preferable. A nice screen is important, so does a smooth performance.
One important thing to add, Gorrila Glass or Dragon Trail Glass required
