Under 30k, go with Optimus G E975!! Camera is better than ZR!

The ZR is an excellent device. Got the best of both worlds- a flagship's powerful internals, and a mid range phone's battery efficiency. To top it there is waterproofing. Camera quality will be the same as others in the range (Nexus 4/ Galaxy S3/Optimus G)

If you are OK with low somewhat low internal memory (8 GB, out which around 4 GB becomes user available), then you should be fine with Xperia ZR.
Secondly, if you are gonna root your phone, I would suggest you go with Nexus 4, else, +1 for Xperia ZR. :)

yes I'll defnitly going to root it. Why I preferred ZR than nexus 4(though already tested) Better Camra+Waterproof+Strong body than nexus....only will miss the updates from google.

things confusing me pretty much....

Yeah ZR = Water proof N4.... :wink: [Only if one can manage with low internal mem ] Gamer's should avoid ZR ...

Yeah ZR = Water proof N4

A perfect description of the ZR.
To the OP, if you want the water-proofing, get the ZR. Else checkout the Optimus G also.
