OK, first decide if you want a 5" device or a 5.5" device

5" phone: Get Mi4i 32GB. Its better than S4 in every terms except for brand value

5.5" device: J7 is a good device from Samsung at 15k with a light version of Touchwiz(no lags), good performance & good battery life. Camera is good too.
Other option is: Moto X Play (18.5k, 10% off in the upcoming sale, SBI promotion). Its better than J7 is all respects, good battery life, screen & camera, is splashproof (you can use it in rain, if you want)

In India, no network is good in all respects. So better get a dual SIM phone, use 2 SIMs from different operators

thanks for you sugeestions.I would prefer 5.5" device
One more phone which i like is Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL
I dont want to go for Mi4i as my bro is already having this phone.I would prefer a phone pricing less than 15k.

ZE550KL(Laser) is at a different lower price range with way lower specs or are you talking about the selfie one?

YES i am talking about Asus Zenfone 2 Laser ZE550KL.I know it specs are lower but i think it will not make a big difference as its not that much lower as compared to J7.

I would suggest extend your budget a bit and get Moto X Play.. Great camera and screen.. Gaming performance should be better than Mi4i..Also super battery life
