OP does not need dual sim, and S Duos has a weak cortex a5 cpu with adreno 200 gpu..

Id suggest waiting for Xperia M (Im going to do so as well) or going for Xperia L if u can increase budget
Alternately, you may go for Galaxy Core or L7 II but I have yet to see a good review for both of them

 

[sankheashish]

does xperia l , Samsung Galaxy S Duos , xperia m , Galaxy Core ......supports gsm card ?....my dad has only gsm card( provided by the company) so gsm support is must...

 

[Nerevarine]

obviously.. CDMA phones are very rare..

 

[snap]

if you can raise your budget go for xperia L

 

[sankheashish]

wat abt samsung galaxy grand quattro ??

 

[mastercool8695]

lenovo P770

exactly your budget. (approx 12 k) (buy some good Memory card or Earphone if you want to spend the rest )
and almost bang for the buck phone.

Cmon its your Dad, why does he need an Android when he can get everything and smthing more out of a Windows 8 Lumia. You want him to panic when an app crashes or the battery dies at the middle of a long journey?


Just ask him to get a Lumia 520
Its very newbie friendly.
Best Office suite on a phone
Voice navigation, GPS, Nokia Maps...he is gonna love this!!!

and most important of all, its a Nokia.
Dads love Nokia!!
He will have a peace of mind and complete satisfaction over the purchase.

Or do you plan to use his phone time to time huh
I used this trick twice. During school days,when i get bored of my phone, i ask my Dad to buy a new phone for himself. But when he finds it too big and complicated i just take it from him and give him my old phone
This is how i got my first Nokia n-series phone and my first touch screen phone (Sony Ericcson Vivaz)
Mwahahah
