if you dont want to install / run custom roms then get a iphone 4s. It has better optimization then all the other phones you mentioned, and out of all of the options you mentioned it has the best battery backup.

as anandtech says it :

The battery life offered by the iPhone 4 is spectacular. My iPhone 3GS could hardly get through a full day of work while traveling, I'd always need to hunt for an outlet before heading into my dinner meeting. I'm about to take my first trip with the iPhone 4 but I get the feeling that I might finally be able to make it through dinner.

Early reports of 20 and 30 hours of battery life are simply exaggerated. They're only possible if you let the phone idle in your pocket for the majority of that time. In other words, if you don't use the phone it lasts for a long time. While that's a testament to the platform's incredible idle power, the real world usage is good enough to stand on its own. It's better than any iPhone or Android phone I've tested thus far.

the screen is only 3.5inches but its 326ppi....

the other thing is that you cant buy a gs2 in <20k.

have a look at the indepth review here :

*www.anandtech.com/show/3794/the-iphone-4-review/1

if you do want a android phone with very very good support for custom roms, id strongly suggest get a gs2 and dont look anywhere else. believe me its worth the extra money.

I think you can also go for HTC Sensation XE.. its has got really good reviews.. for instance you can check from ppl using it from flipkart.

Thank you for your reply......I will go to the store and check for the same, what about Xperia P and S2 is quite old don't you think so????

Just shut ur eyes n go for the optimus l9.
Best specs for the price, 4.7 inch ips+ screen, awesmm battery( mine lasts for 2 days wid moderate usage like youtube, mails, calls, and little gaming wid 3g on ) , decent cam wid 1080p, optimus ui roxx and is very smooth n stable.
And gr8 price too!!

 

[aroraanant]

How about HTC Desire SV ?

 

[ghost_z]

optimus l9 is the best phone arnd 20k according to me..

Agreed 200 % at 18k it absolutely is "the" best smartphone right now with powerful sgx 540 gpu !

 

[NoasArcAngel]

How about HTC Desire SV ?

too old hardware...

@OP iphone 4s beats all these phones hands down...


LG Optimus L9 vs Apple iPhone 4S - Phone specs comparison

 

[coderunknown]

too old hardware...

actually the hardware is pretty new but the pricing is completely wrong. Huawei Ascend G330 sell for 11k and that should be the price of SV, not 19k.

 

[NoasArcAngel]

rofl. in the tech world, anything which has been around for more than 5 minutes is old .... but yeah... totally agree on the pricing front ...

Have you tried running multiple apps or playing games? It runs smooth?

 

[ghost_z]

The snappy dual core combined with 1gb ram and best in its class at 18k sgx 540 gpu speaks for themselves, in short yes it won't let you down !
To make it a bit easy for you, just check most online shops, the L9 has sold like hot cakes and is outta stock on most sites which speakes for itself !

LOL. 1Ghz dual core A9 + 540 gpu.. is this a joke? a good phone in this range is the galaxy s advance.. with mali 400mp..

 

[cacklebolt]

+1 Galaxy S2 if you can find it under 20k. (blows away competition.)

Xolo X900

Lg optimus L9 (1 gb ram!! )

LOL. 1Ghz dual core A9 + 540 gpu.. is this a joke? a good phone in this range is the galaxy s advance.. with mali 400mp..

GPU performance:

Position GPU
1 Nvidia ULP GeForce (12core)
2 ARM Mali 400MP (QuadCore)
3 PowerVR SGX 540
4 Qualcomm Adreno 220
5 ARM Mali 400 (singlecore)
6 PowerVR SGX 531
7 Qualcomm Adreno 203
8 Qualcomm Adreno 205
9 Broadcom VideoCore 4
10 Qualcomm Adreno 200 (enchanced)
11 ARM Mali 300

Check it out @NoahsArcAngel.

the only the quadcore Mali is better than the 540..

 

[NoasArcAngel]

i think i already mentioned mali400"MP" ??

 

[cacklebolt]

oops..my bad. but are you sure that the s advance has a quad core mali 400mp???

 

[coderunknown]

LOL. 1Ghz dual core A9 + 540 gpu.. is this a joke? a good phone in this range is the galaxy s advance.. with mali 400mp..

S Advanced has the same NovaThor chipset as Xperia U/Go/Sola/P hence it is Mali 400 single core, not quadcore. obviously higher clocked but can't go against SGX540. S2 has quadcore Mali 400 i.e. 400MP

 

[pulkitpopli2004]

^^ sam is there also something like that this dual core novathor is slower than qualcomm single core processor.?

 

[aroraanant]

SV was available at ebay for around 19k and if any coupon works on that then it is worth I think.
I haven't seen any Huawei phone so can't say much about that, even I am yet to get my hands on L9
