I want to buy an Android phone for my father. Below are the requirements:

1. Budget? Under 20k
2. Display type and size? 720p HD display or better, around 4.5 inches
3. Dual sim? Not required
4. Preferred choice of brand? Down till Micromax
5. What camera option you want (flash, front facing camera)? Front facing camera is not required, LED flash is a must.
6. Preferred operating system? (Android, iOS, Windows Phone, etc) Android only
7. Preferred connectivity options (3G, 4G ready). 3G is sufficient
8. Primary use of handset (multimedia, camera, internet, gaming etc)? Internet
9. Any specific mobile phones in consideration? None yet (in very early stages of research)

Other information

1) Primary use- Browsing - My father mainly uses his phone to access the internet, so browsing speed should the best-in-class, with zero to no lag in scrolling.
2) Since no games and heavy apps would be installed, a high-end gaming GPU is not required, neither is a very advanced CPU.
3) The camera needs to be good. My sister has a Moto G but its camera is a bummer. LED flash, image stabilisation, auto-focus are important add-ons.
4) Good screen ppi, resolution and viewing angles.

Please suggest appropriate phones best matching my requirements. Is there any upcoming phone (in the next month or so) that I should wait for?

I've been considering both Moto X and Xperia ZR. The X is slightly over my budget, fixed price at Flipkart @24k, they have an exchange offer right now but I dont have any extra devices.

From what I've gathered, ZR's camera is way ahead of X's. X might be better in terms of some features (Corning glass et al), but don't you feel ZR would be a better fit to my requirements and budget?

Can you do a quick comparison with Moto X specific to my requirements?
