Confused... Smartphone under 22k

[makimps]

Hi guys,

Today, my friend will be buying a new phone...

Have shortlisted few - Xperia p, nokia lumia 800, but he is more interested in buying xperia p.

Can you guys please suggest if xperia p is worth buying or should he move with lumia instead or is there any other phone in your suggestion.

Most usage -
=============
> For gaming (HD games)
> Good camera
> Good Screen

Guys please suggest asap, coz he will be buying the phone today itself.

Cons of Xperia P :

No SD slot.
Non removable battery
Poor battery backup (1300mAh)

Ask him to increase his budget a little bit and go for S/SL. 720p screen, good GPU and nice camera.

Otherwise, if he can sacrifice a bit in camera side, get LG L9 @ 19k, which have bigger screen, qHD display, Dual Core and 1GB RAM. Decent GPU.

i guess the 4X HD @ 21k offer at HS18 is still active.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Yes it is. @OP You can suggest you friend this deal, but you have to hurry.

 

[makimps]

Thanks for the reply...

Will ask him about the budget thing and will also ask him to checkout the SL.

Can you please suggest if lumia 820, 800 is worth buying. He says he is bowled by the interface and design of Lumia 820...

And is xpreia a total NO NO!!!

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Then get LG 4x HD @ 21k from HS18. No for Lumia 800 but 820 is worth looking. But again when it comes to apps, Android is better compared to Windows. Since your friend want games, i prefer Android over Windows phone.

Thanks furious_gamer for you quick reply, will consider the lg 4X hd.

But, could you reply my last question please, "Is xpreia P a total NO NO!!! "?

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Yes, total NO. Especially with the newer line-ups P is a strict NO. If you can't get the deal for 4x HD, get L9 @ 19k. Best VFM phone under 20k IMO.

Best phones line up under 22k:
A: LG Optimus L9 only qualifies here at 18k.
B. LG Optimus 4xHD, this is a 26-28k device and for some reason its being sold for 21k here: HomeShop18.com Superdeals - Deals that last only minutes (Site is having loading issues), if you can grab it get it eyes closed, its also getting jelly bean update and has quite a few custom roms.

Xperia P has fantastic hardware: Sony Xperia P battery life gets tested, 1305mAh found lacking by WhiteMagic screen - GSMArena Blog

Well go for instead samsung orignal galaxy s2 recenty it got jellybean too officialy..

don't go for LG they don't provide update and still no JB for 4x hd and resale value is very low...

And SGS II is 26k, not 22k, and if he can pay 26k, this phone kills the SGS II: *www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=3621&idPhone2=4894
