Need to buy a phone under 30K

[randomuser111]

I love everything about this phone by looking at its specs but to me it seems that it is slightly old, released 5 months back. Well i think its a little old.

LOL. One X is older. Hahaha. Don't judge a phone by how old it is lol. Anyway, as rider suggested since your budget is 30k I too think you should get the One X or the Galaxy S3. You will need to stretch your budget a bit for the S3 but it will have better resale value later on than any other phone in the range. Or just get a FU Iphone 4S. Oh OOPS Iphone 4S is more than a year old.

Still, IMO choose between Galaxy S3 and Iphone 4S. One X won't hold its value well at all, same or worse for Xperia S.

Man, your budget is 30k you should get a quad core HTC One X phone for 31k with HTC warranty by using discount coupon.
Xperia S is good but made with old S3 scorpion processor, and its best price is 26k with sony warranty.

As per CNET UK Xperia S is nearly tied with the HTC One X for the best camera, don't just look on megapixels.

I have extended the budget with a lot of difficulty, so If I am getting a good specs mobile for below 30 I might go for it, little short on money. Secondly, I am not going to buy from ebay or most probably online, I am quite sure that I will buy from local market. So I cannot use any discount coupon.

Well then that leaves you with the Xperia S once again, and AFAIK there is no new phone that will arrive anytime soon in that price range.

Don't afraid to purchase online, its completely safe, you can get refund by ebay easily if anything happen. Always check the ratings, star and score of ebay seller before buying, that's it.
If you still worried about it, get from some local shop Xperia S is of 27k with sony warranty.

I would obviously love to buy a new phone, I mean which is newly released. Out of the new three sony phones that are coming out, can you tell me if any of those will be below 30K?

I think Xperia J would come under 30k most possibly in HTC One V price range, but alas its a single core budget phone like HTC One V.

Dunno, wtf happening to companies they are only launching new high range phones, and keeping the price drop for older phones in 25-30k category.

The same krait S4 processor phone HTC One S is priced 26k on ebay.in will less with some coupon though is it's imported T-mobile phone under dealer warranty. Sony should launch Xperia TX around 30-32k (under $550 USD) or it may fail like ion.

 

[sam9953]

I think, I might consider waiting for this new range to be launched.

It's always better if you can wait. Even if the new models are priced high, ion will get cheaper, that might make the s cheaper and so on. Hence if you can wait then wait. Else xperia w/one x.

Xperia S. Don't go for One S unless the price is 25k as for 26-26.5k you get Samsung Galaxy S2.

This is in reply to the post when I asked which one is better out of Xperia S and One S, right?

Anyway, guys I have decided to wait for now, will delay the buying till that new Sony series comes out. Till then, thanks a lot for helping me.

What is the problem in getting One X from ebay?

Budget. I don't think I can get this phone below 30k anywhere, right? That is why I have decided to wait.

 

[aroraanant]

Xperia S and One S both are good,I suggest get your hands on both and then decide.
In One S you will get better UI i.e. Sense UI which is awesome.And also pretty good build quality.

 

[sam9953]

Specs wise Xperia S is looking better to me.

The price on ebay is 33.4k and you can use any coupon there, or can get some deal like get a free 500GB Portable HDD or anything whichever they have in offer.
So considering that it is costing you around 30k only

 

[sam9953]

Yeah, that is another good option.

 

[nikufellow]

Go for any of the dual core kraits like HTC one S!

NEWS FLASH for you. There is currently NO dual krait phone available in India. The HTC one S sold in India uses S3 CPU.
