Budget - 10k
Display - IDK about displays, whichever is good for videos
Dual Sim - Doesn't matter
Preferred choice of brand - Any with a good ASS
Camera Options - 5MP primary. If secondary is present then great.
Preferred OS - Android
Preferred connectivity options - 3G
Primary use of handset - Watching Animes @720p and 1080p and reading manga(main use), Playing some mediocre games, internet browsing, little music.
Specific mobile in consideration - Moto E and Asus Zenphone 5

This is for my friend. the ASS HAS TO BE GOOD as he can't afford 10k going down down a drain as his financial conditions aren't good. Watching Animes and movies will be the major task. Future update for Android L doesn't matter much. I use Moto E and it's a good handset capable of running 1080p videos, but I don't know about the Asus Zenphone 5. Phone will be bought as soon as the choice is done. And if the Asus Zenphone 5 wins, where can he buy it as its out of stock on Flipkart.

Well for watching movies and anime lots of storage is a must along with a big screen for enjoyment. So the Zenphone 5 is the only winner here. ASUS A.S.S. is regarded as good these days. Just wait for it to come back in stock on flipkart as that seems to be the only place where it's available.

+1 to Zenphone 5. Also, ask him to get 10 bit encoded 720p anime as 1080p would be a waste of storage space on the phone.

don't understand that :|

Hi10P Info / Guide | Haruhichan's blog - Anime news and reviews.

in short: normally, 10 bit 720p anime takes around 90-140 mb/episode, while 8 bit 1080p may take 160-230 mb/episode. hence 1080p would be a total waste of space on a phone with 720p screen.

hey plz suggest some good site to download anime you know in HQ and as small as possible and also in low quality preferably 30mb for a episode.

you won't even get 480p anime in 30 mb/episode. :(

downloading .avi (older container and poor multi audio/subtitle support) files is too a waste of space. prefer .mkv or .mp4

try hi10anime.com animekens.com hom720.blogspot.com animeout.com

[MENTION=50342]rohitshubham[/MENTION] - search torrent site, there are few users who uploads 480p @ 40mb per episode. Search for this user " LamBerT_vin "

[MENTION=145143]SaiyanGoku[/MENTION] - do we have to register to the sites you mentioned above, I can't see the content??

[MENTION=50342]rohitshubham[/MENTION] - Use Tor browser.

In case you don't want to use Tor and download using download manger(IDM) here's a trick - paste that particular link in exrapidleech(google that) and download with full speed.

as for torrent with video files, leech your torrents to furk(google to get full site name) and download using download manager.

Non existent, apparently there are a list of service centers but no one has dealt with them for now... Even if they offer ASS, you have to keep in mind that they just started their service in india this month and therefore, it will be absolutely terrible at first..
If ASS is your first priority, buying ASUS is okay.. BUT TBH I have no idea how ASUS handles mobile phone ASS.. For things like GPU, Mobo etc, i can say ASUS is pretty good
