LG Optimus G, if you dont care about warranty.. Search EBAY

R

I do care about warranty

Well grand is good for your needs but will you install many apps?
Cuz Samsung S#!t slows down after much apps
And if you don't wanna play heavy games and can go with an Indian brand then get xolo q3000
Has 1080p display and 5.5 inch screen
Great for watching movies and the display is as awesome as AMOLED

R

Not inclined towards Canvas, MMX and other local brands at all.
Not much into gaming, just few lightweight games from app store

Gionee elife e5
Will that work?

Moto G!

with warranty: Moto G

Without Warranty: Lg Optimus G E970

Am also inclined towards Moto G.

But my sister, for whom this phone is meant wants a larger screen size as she
will use it for listening songs, videos and movies.

Also she is put off by Moto G because in that battery can't be replaced.

So she has selected Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo.

how does Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo compare with Moto G?

Grand neo is the worst android phone money can buy . You can check out the reviews if you dont believe Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo review - GT-I9060 a Grand Disaster

Better buy her a LG L90 or HTC Desire 501 (more underpowered than Moto G or L90 which share the same SoC but both have Kitkat). The only Samsung phone worth buying under 20k is S4 Mini, rest are pile of overpriced crap.

also a fact : Girls are attracted to Samsung like moths are attracted to flame for whatever unknown reason. From what ive seen even if you recommend a way better VFM phone from other BIG brands they would still buy the "galaxy" crap at the end. so beware

P

Moto G all the way man...... best vfm phone in this price bracket.still if you want a bigger phone you can choose l90 from lg

S4 MINI IS A GOOD CHOICE MUCH MUCH BETTER THAN GRAND OR GRAND NEO

LG L90/L90 dual is also good, except for the screen resolution.

I think L90 is the best option

[MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION] is there any single sim variant available officially in India?

^Though its available on snapdeal, LG hasn't even launched the dual sim version officially in India yet.

LG L90 dual gets a price-tag in India, set to launch on March 25

LG L70 Dual and L90 Dual with Android 4.4 now available online in India | NDTV Gadgets

yes....but I don't think that they will launch the single sim variant in India.....

LG L90/L90 dual is also good

means another phone in the market with poor dev support

all because of Indian/Chinese brands
