avoid android one its not at all good
get Moto E,Redmi,Lumia 535,Lumia 640(coming soon - $100 is the current price abroad so itll be the same here i guess)

Yeah L640 series is surely going to replace the 630 and other legacy devices. So they won't be going to cost a lot.

only time will tell
Its still a great buy nevertheless
I suggest waiting for it or getting Yureka,Moto,Redmi,Lumia(available models)

Budget is 5.5k or 6k at max. Yureka, Moto E, Redmi 2, all cost 7k or more.

true but under that ,most phones arent worth it
Xolo Win and Lumia 4xx and 5xx series are worth it in that budget
You can also try getting a 1st gen Moto E but from my personal experience,Lumia 530 is faster and better than Moto E

Sparkle V is the Android variant and XOLO Win q900s is the Windows variant I suppose. Specs are more or less the same in the two. Isnt it?
And I have always liked Windows for its smooth UI compare to android.

Theres even iBall Andi 4L pulse for 5k
runs windows phone and is most certainly smoother and better than android one handsets
cheaper android phones are a no go imho unless its Yureka

Not worth the price IMO, Lumia 430 (to be launched) is a much better option for around 4.7k.
Moreover 4inch feels small to hands, so I am probably looking for somthing like 4.5inch.

true
camera is poor in 430 - 2MP otherwise its worth it
But I can assure you one thing
Low end windows phone>>>>low end android
the lowest android worth buying is Yureka,Moto G imho
even Moto E has gone slow since lollipop so its best avoided

Microsoft is very very consistent in updates and speed etc even for low end phones unlike google who abandons previous gen phones software optimisation-Lollipop
