advice for phones within range 15-20 k .. to buy on diwali !!

[aroraanant]

aroraanant .... thnx bro ........ yeah you are right the above feature are imp and must these days...

Guys can i have your views on MOTOROLA ATRIX2 ? it have all the feature but just it has android v2.3 OS dnt know whetehr it will get any update or not... BUT MOTORLA is connected to google now so i think ATRIX 2 will get ICS or JB soon but dont know about the MOTO Services in INDIA .. Guys kindly suggest me should i go on it.
And furthur SONY SOLA has 512 MB ram and dont have quality camera when its in range of 20k .
Samsung advance i think have some touch problem(touch not stable and accurately works)and dont have quality camera.
Sony xperia U dnt hav memory slot i guess.
Sony xperia P looks good though but dnt have any idea about it.....
Any idea of new phones launching with JB On diwali or nearby ?
thnx

Atrix is not recommend as Motorola is shutting down its operations in Asia pacific region and also its UI is not good.
Sola is easily available for 18k or less but ram is quite less, but still one can consider it.
Advance is not recommended at all.
Xperia U is also not recommend because less memory.
Xperia P is a great phone but One S is available at 22.6k at ebay but the offer is limited so One S is a better buy at that price.

Thanx Bhushan bro atrix 2 seems good but cant say about MOTO services .And yeah Xperia P . i dnt knw its specs will see first
i was checking within bdget of 15-17 k and have seen these two options r quite good .. kindly give your advice on these:
1. HTC desire S (M afraid ths is nt avail in market as launched way back in 2011)
2.Sony Xperia SOLA (seems good phone and in reach )
Any other mobiles You know within range of 15-17k plz plz update me on tht wating fr your valuable replies

Indeed Desire S is a very good phone but the bad news is that it is not available, but if someone finds it around 16k then just get it.
Sola is a good phone, the only disadvantage is it has got less ram.

[bhushan2k]

yup..samsung google galaxy nexus I9250...where u stay?? it's available in alpha store, mumbai...but warranty mil raha hai kya donno..will ask friend if u want...dono about other stores...

if u want a rugged phone then go for xperia go..but very small screen..
xperia j => old architecture...a5 proccy + andreno 200...

agar 21, 22 tak badha sakta hai budget then just get nexus..dont think.. otherwise u will think arey yaar nexus lena chahiye tha as u gonna do one time investment...money waste nahi jayega tera...trust me...

and atrix 2 is great phone man...performance matches with nexus...

4.6" 720p HD screen vs 4.3" 540p qHD screen
sAMOLED vs ordinary TFT
16gb internal vs 8gb internal
non-expandable vs expandable (2gb included)

If there are negative reviews then there only there are positives ones too.
I suggest you to get your hands on the device, then you will get to know what is right and what is wrong.

 

[jatinrai199]

thanx bro.... it was quite useful and i have narrowed down my search...
1.htc desire x
2.samsung nexus
3.samsung galaxy advance
4.xperia go
5.xperia j or p

Nexus was launched a way back in oct,2011.So it does matter ? and htc desire x is launched jut in AUG,2012.wat bout samsung gadvance ?
1st 3 are my favs..
out of these 4 what you guys suggest ? plz advice

Why did you rule out Atrix 2 and Galaxy S Advance?
Nexus is wayy to old :/
Desire X has an Adreno 203 while others int his range have Mali 400, also no front camera :/
Also rather wait for a month to get an approx idea about Galaxy S3 Mini's Price. If it's around 20-22, then it'll be the best buy!

And keep an eye out for a Moto Atrix 2 review, a TD member RCuber has just bought it, so he'll be reviewing it soon.

 

[jatinrai199]

moto atrix 2 is ruled out because of moto sevices . i have used galaxy advance fr a while. dont have great touch... .. yeah have heared tht gals3 mini will be launched... but it may have smaller display around 3 or 3.5 nt good fr a smartphone

 

[aroraanant]

I don't know why are you not considering One S, it is far better than any of the mobiles mentioned above.

 

[jatinrai199]

1. out of range around 25k (i would rather go for galaxy s2 @ this price)
2.saw some bad reviews online ...

 

[bhushan2k]

Nexus is wayy to old :/

how come?? can u please elaborate??

mention any phone from all price ranges who has got jb 4.1.2 update officially other than nexus and nexus s...and tell me any phone better than nexus in features and performance in 20k..

@jatinrai199, just get nexus...future 1-2 google updates for sure...

 

[LegendKiller]

I would strongly suggest not to buy these imported phones with "Seller Warranty" and thankfully after doing a bit of research i found out that its a big fraud thats going on....

Simply because such phones will not be repaired in India.......So, you could end-up with a phone which ain't working after few days/months and..........do what? Throw it in the dustbin...

Well for one, Galaxy S Advance is in line to get a direct GB to JB update.
Also exactly which nexus are you talking about, can you link to its GSMArena page?

Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus I9250

 

[SIDDHARTH.BEAM]

Go for galaxy nexus it still the best in the categories .
Some of the seller are selling on eBay for 20000 to 23000 . It's a good deal going on eBay.

 

[vipul619]

Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus I9250

My bad.
I though you meant THIS
Well, now that i've read the specs, unless one can wait for GS3 Mini, this is a clear winner

On second look, WTF, the specs are unreal for a 22k phone

 

[bhushan2k]

^^yup..best vfm buy for 20k...n future google updates for sure..key lime pie...

 

[vipul619]

I'm a bit confused.
This phone was launched in Nov'11. So why hasn't it been a prominent model instead of Galaxy S2 and others.
Has it been released in India recently? After almost an year?

Or has it been not launched yet? And never will be? - THIS

Dude, the price of this phone is 22k and not 32k simply because its smuggled into india and sold un-officially. So, if this awesome develops some problems...samsung support centers aren't going to fix it, even if your willing to pay.

HTC Desire X has snapdragon s4 processor. which is much better than any other one..
