1. Budget?
13K

2. Display type and size?
No personal preference but bigger is better although not too big.

3. Dual sim?
Not a necessity but I wouldn’t mind having one.

4. Preferred choice of brand?
No personal preferences but would like one which has good After Sales Service.

5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)?
Mainly primary camera for some photography, no selfie shots.

6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc).
No personal preferences but would like to have the latest one.

7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready).
No personal preference

8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)?
Phone will be used by my mom and hence FM Radio is a must, good if not better camera, music, internet, occasional gaming.

9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration?
Moto G3, Samsung Galaxy J5, Mi 4i , Mi 4, Asus Zenfone 2 ZE550ML, Microsoft Lumia 640 XL, HTC Desire 626G Plus. Again, these phones were selected based on the budget and not it's quality & hardware specs. I would like your expertise regarding these.

10. Any other info that you want to share?
Camera is the main priority here since this will be my mom's first smartphone and so no call disruption or any such and good battery backup. Would like to have atleast 16GB of internal memory because some of the phones mentioned don't have expansion. I also don't know about the SAR values that were mentioned in some posts and would like to know for these phones.

I would greatly appreciate your valuable expertise regarding the same.

Regards

Mi4i has very good camera.Take a look at meizu m2 note too.

Meizu's service center is extremely far from our place and besides I don't know about the quality of the camera.

+1 to 640 XL since its for your mom. Moto G3, Zenfone Laser can also be considered.

Although I mentioned the 640XL, it seems to be a bit big and I'm unable to make a final decision on that. I saw in a couple of posts that the zenfone has issues with calls and such, so I've decided to stay clear of that.

Camera is the first priority here so apart from the 640XL which is the next best camera phone? I need to see if my mom likes the size of it or I need to look for the second best...........

Not worth it. Why pick it over Moto G3, 640 XL or Mi 4i? Why torture OP's mom with crapwiz? :p

On a side note, Lumia 640 is another option if you want to consider 5" phones.

If going for a 5" one, then I rather pick Moto G3 or mi4i than the Lumia 640. Reason being that it has 8mp camera than the 13mp in the g3, also ANDROID!!


So the pick is between these phones: Moto G3. Mi4i, Lumia 640XL & Mi4.

How do the rest compare with Lumia 640XL in terms of camera?

Colors come out natural with 640XL and Moto G3. Mi4i & Mi4 will produce a little more saturated pics (nothing bad if you like it). Focus is better on Mi4i/Mi4 than Moto G3, not sure about 640XL.

Poor after sales service for Mi4.

So go with Asus Zenfone Selfie ZD551KL -15,999.

In my opinion Huawei Honor 5X smartphone is the best cell phone under 13k and its comes with a 5.50-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1080 pixels by 1920 pixels at a PPI of 401 pixels per inch and runs Android 5.1 with 13-megapixel primary camera on the rear and a 5-megapixel front shooter for selfies.
