One plus X looks promising and most probably will launch for 15k.

Wait for Oneplus X, hope it launches below 15k (29th Oct)

Otherwise, Mi4i 32GB seems a good choice (It heats up a bit too much while gaming otherwise its cool )

 

[a_k_s_h_a_y]

where can you get the mi4i 32

 

[omega44-xt]

Flipkart, Snapdeal, Mi India website

 

[alex00888]

What about meizu mx5 ?
I've got a seller , ready to sell for 15k
6 months old

Still, 16GB storage is not enough now (It lacks SD card slot)
Another thing, it is a 5.5" device

Check Moto X Play, it has smaller footprint for a 5.5" device

Yeah 5.5 inch but has a very small footprint unlike zenfone 2

Moto x play's performance isn't up to the mark especially when put against mx5 , zf2 etc

Mi4i not only heats up while gaming, but on normal usage too it heats up like a lightbulb. You can cook roti on it.
Threadstarter, never opt for mi4i, unless you are okay with the heat. My 2 friends are regretting their choice, even after so called update.

Both my friends who own it are happy with it.... Every phone heats up while gaming or using net via mobile data

No, not every phone ... The phones i have used in the past never got heated up.

Atleast it'll come handy in winter.

Seriously ????
I'm talking about smartphones here.... Also if you haven't noticed I mentioned "Every phone heats up while gaming or using net via mobile data"

Which phones did you use?

Yeah it does, even my Moto G heats up after 30 minutes or so CoC gameplay. But what I said was mi4i is not like that. Atleast with my 2 friends phone. It get heated up too hot that you can clearly feel it from the back of the phone. Around camera area upon normal use, like taking some photos, viewing gallery or just exploring the phone. So never had the mind for loading up a game in it

Am not against any Xaomi phones here, but I told what I felt. Heard that the processor is the culprit for that. sd 801 or so.

Yeah so I've heard

hmm

Lol ^^

Get Mi4i from flipkart(available only in app) for Rs9999.I think it's a best deal.

 

[ashis_lakra]

Moto X 2nd Gen @ 15k and Lenovo Vibe p1 @ 15k from Flipkart app.. I think both of them are real VFM, but i couldn't find good reviews about p1 anywhere , maybe it launched some while ago.

 

[ankushv]

I agree the moto x 2nd gen is a great phone , but in the flip kart reviews I'm reading many horror stories about it's fragile screen and 20k screen replacement cost .
Just read the reviews and buy .

That's true. Replacing the screen can take anywhere between 16k-20k some months ago, so just steer clear of Moto X 2nd for now.

That's true.... 2 of my friends own it & both have cracked their display
Also battery life isn't good
