Long story:
Had bought Asus zenfone 4 for mom in December 2014, so that she can get aware of how to use android phones. Especially to use apps like whatsapp, youtube & facebook.
2 Dyas back father dropped his zenfone 6 on floor and power button stopped working. cant start the phone. So he took zenfone 4 from my Mom for the day, and the greatest thing happend- The phone got dropped from train while alighting at Dadar station :duh2:
The screen from inside got cracked. only bottom part is visible now.
So 2 phones went down in single day.. :pullhair:

So today i have lend my G2 to Mom so that she can pass her time at home.

Reason for new phone:
Mom was already pissed of by the crappy battery performance of zenfone 4, also she liked the big screen of my G2 so I think its time to buy her a proper phone this time, since fixing her broken phone will get around a week to month of time to get repaired. And I cant spend much time with my old Nokia N8.

Details:
1. Budget? max- 15k
2. Display type and size? max 5.2"
3. Dual sim? Not necessary
4. Preferred choice of brand? with good after sell service(apart from Samsung)
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? rear camera (if possible front facing as well)
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc). Android
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 3G is enough
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? to use whatsapp, facebook youtube apps
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? Moto G 2nd Gen
10. Any other info that you want to share - Dont suggest phones from brands like MMX,Celkon etc
 
Moto G is best for your mom.
I have two at home.
You can also consider Zenfone 2 but it's battery life not so good compared to moto g.

Cyber Genius FTW
I suggest you consider the Lumia 730 and 640,640XL as well since your mom doesnt like lag and wants a big display
after sales is also something Lumias excel at
camera and battery life is also unmatched in that price range with the above phones

if you are bent on android only - Moto G

but Id still say go in for a Lumia for those requirements

Received the repaired phone today.
They replaced the entire front area.
It was damaged due to the fall.
Now it looks like a new one, though the back cover has scratches.

Must appreciate the quick work from Asus
