You will probably get only one answer
Neo V.
But if you want to look beyond Android
then OmniaW.

Thanks for the response ..
But i have a friend who has Neo V ..
The sound is very poor ....

Motorola Defy or DEFY+ or Atrix(dual Core) or Droid x2(dual core)

This is not a GSM device, it will not work on any GSM network worldwide.

That means i cant use an ordinary simcard rite ??
And it is about 420 EUR !! ??

Any more suggestion ??

Neo v for android...
Lumia 710 or omnia w for windows....

You can also look at for Galaxy R for 19k

S

You can go for HTC Explorer, Samsung Galaxy Y and other samsung and htc mobiles which has android os within your budget.

Im pretty obsessed with the BRAVIA engine ...
My dad agreed to extend the budget to around 21K ..
Any Good mobiles than NEO V ??
How is ARC ??

instead of Neo V, check Xperia Pro. moreover Bravia engine is just a display tech. the display is a normal LCD unit.

O2X?
Galaxy r?

go for galaxy r if u need a better cam then optimus 2x wil do ... arc is a good looking phone but its a single core phone ... SONY ERICSSON XPERIA ARC S 3D LT89 ANDROID 2.3 BRAND NEW | eBay u can buy arc s 4 21 k ... i think SRG = VFM

In 17k .. best best - Defy Plus

for 21K, y not go for SGR?
arc s has sexy looks, but low end hardware for the price... bravia engine display is nothing out of the world.. amoleds are better and it doesnt have a front cam.
better stick with sgr or o2x

check this for a comparison of the screens

@ OP

u shud consider SGR,
its a 4.2 incher, excellent performer android VFM phone.....

Xperia pro gets my vote.

Samsung Galaxy R is the best option in your budget.

TheMost said:
OK , My final choice

Galaxy R (or) O2X ??

Galaxy R is 1 GB Ram ( single core)
02x but ( 512 RAM )

Can we add some more RAM as in the case of PC in mobiles ??

Galaxy R has dual core 1ghz proccy..... :!:

^ I'm Sorry i should have been careful !!
I have selected GALAXY R finally !!

Had gr8 reviews !!

I can carry on rite ?

One more doubt : I can update the latest versions of android as they come in rite ?
Or Just stay with gingerbread ??

you can upgrade either when Samsung releases Android 4.0 or do it manually (voids warranty) through XDA forum.

You will have to wait for a long long time.
SGR is probably Sammy's last priority for ICS.
Is there a CM9 for SGR?
I will still suggest you O2X over SGR.
I had to make some UV script for a friend at XDA;spent last weekend with o2x and the related threads at xda.
Must admit,there are some fantastic devs out there for this wonderful phone.
It is sad,how LG failed to promote such a great product.
The display is so damn beautiful and so underrated!!

Not yet... :sad:

Are you a moron or what....you are suggesting 8-11k phone to a person whose budget is of 21k....And in all the threads you post crap i.e.suggest phones which are not good or are not according to the budget of the OP and in the end you right other models from HTC and samsung.
I suggest you to just buzz off and if you wanna suggest then be specific,just suggest one or two models which are according to the budget of the person and fulfill his/her requirement.
What are you trying to show by posting such irrelevant information,do you want to just increase your no. of posts?

MODS please look into this matter seriously.I suggest you to ban this person

But what about the RAM ?

SGR -> 1GB
o2x 512mb

That won't make any big difference in performance ah ??
I don't know - That's y i'm asking !! :???:

RAM does makes a huge difference. Even though i love O2X, i will suggest u to with SGR.

No!At least I did not face any problem.
The biggest problem for o2x was the battery.
Even after some pretty extreme undervolting(with couple of sods) it barely lasted 12hrs on 3g moderate to heavy use,aprox 4 hrs of screen time.
But I used the phone for less than 3 days with a lot of kernel flashes.
Regular user should get better battery life.

How is HTC incredible S ?? Is it worth ??

I own it,it is a very good phone....with a very good cam,good UI and everything is good..I found no issues/problem in it. And it is better than SE Arc
If you wanna ask anything in particular then PM me

@red dragon, do you know how much ram is allotted to the Geforce ULP GPU?

only weak point is 512Mb ram. around 768Mb would have been appropriate.

in my mobile (Optimus One), i usually get 300-320Mb free ram. this is enough for a entrylevel mobile but looking at the specs of O2X, this may be less. moreover with LG filling up all its mobiles with crapwares & a powerful GPU, ram will act as bottleneck for sure. though custom rom should fix this issue easily.

Actually RAM utilization of Android is somewhat different,it is sort of dynamic management of memory.

I think the device I had,showed 370MB of available RAM,rest I guess is for the gpu.

Used 9-10 apps usual apps continuously without closing a single one...always had around 100-150MB of free RAM.

Ask any user here,I doubt anyone will have less than 60MB of free memory.

The stock lg launcher is actually very buggy causing stutters but NEVER had low memory.

Moreover for Android free RAM is basically wasted RAM.

LG O2X is not meant to be run on the stock ROM. you have to install a custom rom straightaway anyway !

my mobile shows 419Mb usable ram i.e. GPU uses 93Mb !!!

red dragon said:

the ones with just 256Mb ram usually have very less free memory. used a lowend Android a year ago & free memory was less than 30Mb, with a few apps running in background.

i have used a modified O2X launcher on my mobile for around 2-3 months. no shutter. maybe it was fixed by the one who ported it.

red dragon said:

yup. unless the app in memory is keeping the mobile awake all the time. Classic example is Facebook app.

My recommendation is an LG Optimus 2X, LG Optimus Black, Samsung Galaxy SL, or the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro (recently launched).

They say that GALAXY R is unavail in Chennai ( say that it has been stopped )
My Dad said u can buy SII if u want - But i feel should i invest 30K on it and is it worth ..
What do u think guys is it worth buying SII ( would i use all the features ? )
Or
Should i go for LG O2X/buy SGR online ???

Just your opinion .....

Get the o2x,spending 30k on a phone does not feel right.

O2X probably has the best dev support at xda(and they are mature enough compared to the stupid and cocky gs2 devs)

A

Go for the LG Optimus 2X. It's very good VFM at the moment, and the features (and performance) offered for the price are simply incredible. The developer community is also decent enough.

Samsung Galaxy SII has a little issue with its camera. Depending on where the phone is made, Samsung is sourcing different sensor modules to fit onto the Galaxy SII. One of these sensors (a Fujitsu) has some severe problems with video recording as well as worse image quality.

Have decided to buy GALAXY NOTE from ebay ..
Can i go for it ?

Price? So you wont buy this?

^ I get Note for 31,300 in ebay (sealed)
So i thought NOTE would be a better choice than SII ..

What do u think ??

Yes,it is better.
Buy it!

Hey this is not the right to way to ask anything by posting it in every thread.
Just post in one thread and wait for sometime I m sure you gonna get some replies.

I was just eager to know that's why i put the question on respective thread. I am very confused right now that's why I decided to wait till holi for buying my next Android which will be either Defy+ or SE Neo V

^^^
And don't write your whole text in BOLD.Just highlight the important words which you want people should notice.
Apart from that get a Neo V rather than getting a Defy+(thats my personal suggestion)

today Neo V is available @ 14800INR on ebay. Should I buy???

If it is seller's/ dealers warranty than is it safe and can I go to the service center to claim warranty???

No...to claim the warranty you need to send it back to the seller/dealer(person) from whom you purchased it
