why micromax only?
I was thinking of buying Xolo or gionee but later got to know about their bad A.S.S
but Sony and Micromax has better A.S.S and I dislike samsung
so Sony or micromax will do good.
and a no for Nokia cz i like android.
So waiting for good suggestions.

I was thinking of some android phone which will enable to install some apps.
Any suggestions on that?

which specific apps ?

Which app ?

I think you mean sideloading apps. Which apps do you require?

I'm pretty new to windows phone haven't used it so far.
Not sure if it will be easier for her to understand especially since I myself don't know.
Not sure about the apps available for this.
I was looking for some apps like translation, youtube videos etc.

WP8 interface is simple and straight forward. you can watch youtube videos too. there are many apps available for the same. what do you mean by translation? transating english to some other language? or in a webpage?

:shock: now that you mentioned it, flipkart should be notified for the error. I didn't check GSMarena myself at first.

The specs and the pics are of Ascend D LTE model that was launched in Japan with NTT docomo. Looks like either flipkart has gone insane or it has started scamming the buyers openly now.

Nokia is best.
But who like Android
with many apps / functions / ease of use
and have low budget
You can go for Micromax.
1.
Micromax have More Service Centres everywhere.
2.Other than this,
in open market you will get spares easily after warranty period.
Mostly screens etc common replacement parts comes in a quarter of its launch.


Go for latest models in Micromax.

I am using A77 Canvas Juice (1GB RAM, 5MP camera) - 8K
& much satisfied with it.
Battery is great.
With whole day of internet on 2G + Wifi mix use.
Still it says forget charger.

I am sensing some burning smell !
LOL !

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 too, but it get faulty just after 1 year warranty expired.
39K are ZERO now.

Its repair cost is more than a New Micromax A77.
What was the best remedy ?
A repaired S3 or Micromax A77.
I chose Micromax A77.
Battery of S3 goes down in 3-4 hours of WiFi only.


If you want better camera of 8MP & 1GB RAM then go for
Micromax A110Q Canvas 2 Plus
Flipkart - 10k

Must use Flip Cover with your touch screens phones as protection.



For a Mom / Sister Touch Screen Phone
I will suggest
Asha 311, 501, 502, 503 if low budget.

If You can afford go for Lumia 520, for calling & simple use.
Lumia 525 is better with 1GB RAM with all apps support.

Nokia Lumia have better Service Centre.
You cannot get it repaired from open market,
if fault is crucial, including crucial part involved,
You have to depend only on Nokia Service Centre after warranty also.



I am a Nokia Fan & have more than 6 working phones in family.

New Lumia Dual Sim phones are not here in Windows.
Other than this there is no File Manager in Lumia phones.
If any such phone in Lumia comes with
some basic features that Micromax A77 have.
I am ready to order it now.
A Simple Window Phone with 1GB RAM, Flash in 5MP Camera, File Manager, 8GB internal Memory is must.

Micromax A110Q Canvas 2 Plus - 5inch screen
with 1GB RAM is good in your budget of 10K.

For MNC Branded Stuff:
If You like Samsung most,
spend more on Samsung Galaxy Core I8262 - 4.3 inch screen
Flipkart - 12329/- now.

Similar cost is from Sony - Xperia M - 4 inch screen
if You want to go for branded stuff.
Xperia M - Rs. 11440/- for Single Sim at Flipkart
Xperia M - Rs. 12879/- for Dual Sim at Flipkart

Check these pieces from local market as You can check the quality in hand.
Or
Go to a showroom, like Croma, Reliance Digital, Spice etc
with working pc on display of on or other models.
Compare yourself camera, touch, screen etc.

In given budget only this is possible.

which is better taking into consideration the price ??

Micromax Canvas 2.2 A114
Rs.10,257/- at Flipkart now
and
Micromax Canvas Magnus A117
Rs.13,599/- at Flipkart now


Cost of A117 is
3k5 is more
with better camera, better display & more features.
It is justified enough
if You have more juice to spend.

But you have to see in longer terms.
If You want to change the set in next year or so then do not spend much.
Go for Canvas 2.2 A114.
But if You want to keep it till it lasts (2-3 years) then go for A117.
Every now & then new phones are coming with better specifications.
You may get Canvas 4 type specifications around 10K next year, then ?
You have to decide yourself.

If You go for A117,
then try to get extended warranty(break etc. included) of 2 years atleast with around 10% of cost.

For A114,
Break of screen is not covered in normal warranty but You can take extended warranty here also.
