20- 25k Mobile

^Please mention your requirements "priority-wise" like 1)...2)...3)...
So that it would be easy for us to suggest and all of us don't keep on suggesting all kinds of phones below 17k :p

I prefer android. Dont want symbians. No probs with Wave series if they are better than Androids.

1. should have a good screen size cauz i love large screens (Web browsing, gaming)
2. shouldn't be soo slow. Cauz i'll be installing apps and games for sure
3. Good audio clarity (I dont have a dedicated mp3 palyer)
4. Good camera quality. Since i dont have a cam either, this will be my one and only cam and i like photography.
5. Video recording (720p)
6.GPS, Swype, Flash support, HTML support, Dictionary support, Wifi n
7. 3G

Go for HTC Desire S for 21-22K
or go for HTC Incredible S for 26k



Perfect..also Nexus S max 19-20K

HTC Incredible S for 26k is simply the best phone on market as of now... get it if you can....else Nexus S or HTC DESIRE S is way to go

^Your second option should be Motorola Defy for 15k
And last choice should be LG Optimus Black for 20k.

^Not worth it at this point when you can get likes of Nexus S for the same price.
The only place where iPhone 3GS beats Nexus S is Gaming.
 
from my quick search,
For Nexus S,
der is no 720p
no physical shutter key
no flash

hmm..
Looks like i have no other options.. (i know i cant xpect much in this budget..)

This means your quick search was fairly inaccurate! :p
"dreatica"(a member) posted in some thread that there is 720p support with help of "Custom ROM"
Also Nexus S has an LED flash

Re: New Android phone upto 25K

I kind of thought of a few phones in different price segments:
Around 20K: LG Optimus Black (battery issues in Froyo) or Samsung Google Nexus S (no FM).
Around 25K: HTC Incredible S (camera, audio: average) or LG Optimus 2x (poor loudspeaker).
Around 30K: Samsung Galaxy S II.

Now, considering i had bought pretty good phones (Nokia 6680, N85) when i bought them and kept them for 3.5yrs & 2 yrs (N85 can still give many phones a run for their money), please advise a mobile phone.
I want to buy a good phone which will last 2-3 yrs. Can go upto 30K, if its REALLLLY worth it !
Thanks !!

Guys, would appreciate a help on this query too.. Thanks !! :)

I agree that overall SGSII is the best phone in market but it has a yellow screen issue so if I would be at ur place I wouldn't have bought it.
I have read ur posts and it seems that u don't have a problem with budget,so buddy why don't u try HTC sensation or if it is beyond then go for Incredible S,I personally own it,its a damm good phone yaar n u won't regret ur decision for sure

Galaxy S2 is worth every penny. Apart from higher resolution, Galaxy S2 beats the hell out of HTC Sensation...
(Currently) Galaxy S2 is the best phone available.

iF u can spend 30K
then go for Samsung galaxy S2.
its the best best fone currently out there in market.
No other fone beats it {except hTC sensation in just Resolution, but that wont be a problem though.}

& it can even last 2-3 years without the need to change.


for 25K
hTC incredible S {battery depletes very fast, doesnt last a day}
But none other is good as this one in this price segment.

for 20k
Samsung Galaxy SL oR GooGle Nexus S

Thanks for your replies everyone !
It seems then that Samsung Galaxy S II is worth its price right now.
Moreover, when the Ice Cream Sandwich OS is here, SGS2 should be upgradable to it, right ? (I mean, if it isnt, then no phone can be right now !! :p )

@aroraanant: I am sure that Incredible S and Sensation are more than capable phones. Incredible S is the top notch in the Single Core category. But if i am spending 25K, i might as well spend 5K more to get the best dual core in the market (Sensation or SGS2) which will be more future proof. On paper both Sensation and SGS2 are almost the same (SGS2 has more RAM, Sensation has better display resolution). But in reality, SGS2 has a slightly better camera, video quality, battery life and performance.

Please also advise on this query:
And are there good apps out there to transfer Contacts (multiple and sometimes custom label fields), SMS (stored in folders also), Notes etc from N85 to an Android ?

Only .mp4 and .3gp
Strangely Galaxy S with same processor has support for all mentioned video codecs :?:
