It's a dual sim right? Sorry he's not keen on dual sims. And he'd like to stick to the more reputed handset manufacturers. Thanks though

xperia U, best in class although you will get it without warranty, but since you want in for a year its a good device, with custom rom gives 2 days batter backup on moderate usage.

although if you want to use internet browser, id suggest get a better phone with a larger screen because internet browsing is cumbersome on a 3.5inch 800x480 screen.... maybe extend and get a lumia 810... without warranty, there are many sales these days... last i checked was about 14.5k or so..



EDIT :


checked for lumia 510, its good a 4inch screen so everything should be good and battery is also 1300mah, 1 and a 1/2 days moderate usage should not be a problem. Id suggest you go with this... retailing for 9.5k

Just Go for Lenovo P700i
Dual Core 1Ghz Processor 512 MB RAM, ICS, 2500mAh Battery.. @10.5k around

Or you could buy a phone of your choice and opt for an extended battery.. The downside is that your phone may become almost double in thickness..

U should not compare lenovo with un-reputed companies like karbonn n micromax.. N p700i is definitely way better than tipo or explore or others come under that budget..
