Need new Phone for a budget of about 24k

[debarshi]

Yep, you are right............. But I guess I would.......... What app really use 4 cores, and such a big display, wouldn't really fit in my hands..............

Nothing like that. As a product gets older, it's price has to drop. S3 was selling at 36k now its down to 30. If Xperia S was still 28, who would buy it when S3/One X is 2k more ?

Ahh ok i get it...thanks a lot everyone..will see the prices by tomorrow...

Xperia S, does it have ICS out of the box now ?

Do not think so, but i think the recommended update will be the first thing that will come up on the screen when you start the phone for the first time.

I think it comes with ICS out of the box in P, as I heard in the official forum (some were worried it was pre-used and not brand new, but it turned out to be new and preinstalled), so dont be surprised if its ICS preinstalled....
Either way, the 1st notification will be the update if its stilll GB

New stock come with ICS out of the box. So mostly you're gonna get one with ICS out of the box.

I think I will go for it.. I have asked one of my friend in US to get me the Nexus 4. Otherwise I think Xperia S is the best option in 24k category.. !!!!!

where are you people getting S3 for 30k .... the best I got was 34k on flipkart

 

[aroraanant]

Check tradus

 

[perplexed]

How reliable are infibeam/outletmall (shows on infibeam page )/ tradus / Homeshop18 ?

I am mostly going with Xperia S.. Flipkart lists it at 26K. Outletmall( infibeam page ) lists it at ~24k ?

retail stores in mumbai finally dropped the prices..most quoted price of 24.5-24.9K max...may just go & buy by next week

 

[Ronnie11]

one more thing i had to ask is..this friend of mine told me that sony xperia v is coming up..which will be the same price as Xperia S...any idea?

 

[coderunknown]

Don't wait for it. Powered by Qualcomm Krait means it'll either not ship here or if it finally lands the pricing will be really high. Go ahead with your Xperia S purchase.

Thanks a lot for the clarification...

Xperia V isn't likely to launch in India as it's an LTE 4G phone, and even if it does it will be 30+. So no point as Sam said.

just a higher clocked processor. rest everything same. Sony did something similar with Xperia Arc by launching the Arc S with a 3k higher pricetag.
