firstly,if your friend is genuinely interested in an android and want's advice...kindly ask him to be a member an Post....rather than asking his more technical friend to do the dirty work (just want's the ans right served on a platter)...
Ask him to research better and then ask to compare devices not just play the suggest me a shiny new toy for 25k game...
Ya it's his money and he can dump it anywhere...so why not dump it on a damn costly phone.....right!!!! (cigarette part is amusing
)
p>S: about the gyaan part i think you are gyaani enough to advice your friend...
