You just missed an offer on Flipkart for Xolo Q700 for 8.4k.

I ordered 2 myself :D

AFAIK, people say not to go for Samsung under 15k. And MMX, well its MMX. I'l suggest you the same which I've been suggested earlier.

Xolo Q800 / Huawei Ascend P1 / Xperia M.

Out of the lot, P1 has good gaming reviews.

No one in this forum will recommend Quattro(yes, its that bad!).

Get Huawei Ascend P1 if you can (rhymes nicely :p)

Well, don't go for micromax if you want durability.. you never know when there can be a screw up with the phone.. the Xperia M is good

Goodwill of samsung is pretty good in market but one issue in samsung smartphone is it gets hang. And micromax is not a good for after sell service. Choose other phones dear, I don't like to give u any wrong suggetion.

Just kick all of them and grab Motorola Moto G.
It will launch in india early jan 2014(with 4.4kitkat preloaded, 1.2GHz quadcore, 1GB ram, 5MP camera, 720x1280 326ppi)

all reviews are looking good... and phone is kickass
cons:-
slightly low powered camera
no expandable menory max 16GB version(BUT device supports OTG so you can use Pen drive or SD with card reader)

You can also look at Gionee Elife E3.
Amazing device at this price, not faced a single issue in last 6 months.

I got my Bhabhi a HTC Desire X for 11.5k few weeks back and she loves, I couldn't find anything better than that at that price.
I think you should also give it a try.
But I don't think it is for hardcore users.

Otherwsie the phone is durable, looks good and has a quite a good display too. But in performance it is ok for a normal user.

Remember: Micromax phones are not durable and also their performance is not good.

For 15k, Xperia M dual & Xperia L are much better phones overall as compared to Desire X

Found this Lenovo phone for 15k. Good one but you must install custom ROM for android upgradation
Lenovo K860 Price in India - Buy Lenovo K860 Black 8 GB Online - Lenovo: Flipkart.com

Man.. you have found a hidden gem :cool: From the specs alone its better than every other phone below 20K on the hardware front.. but Theres only some chinese ROMs and a faulty CM10 for this beast so far :(

Sony Xperia M Dual or Samsung Galaxy Core if you want more storage which comes under 13k

Wait for Moto G
For storage expansion you can use USB otg with small mSD reader like Meenova(its extremely small and looking cool)...
If you compare performence, screen display and battery (everything except limited storage) Moto G wins

Motorola does not have any real presence in India AFAIK.

ppi is not everything............ What will u do with high ppi if display doesn't have good colour reproduction, contrast ratio & sunlight readbility ??
Moreover these Indian companies have bad after sales service

:facepalm: have you ever heard of Xperia L or Moto G?

441 ppi doesn't matters when our eyes wont be able to differentiate at anything higher than 330 ppi. :deadbored:

just because it has a fhd screen doesn't means the phone has a powerful GPU to play lag free games at 1080p resolution.
