Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

I agree with you Ranger, but believe me I spent the highest for any mobile is not more than 6500/- so far which was for my earlier corby and my present Wave 525 costed me Rs.6000/- and working fine since last one year, ofcourse this year only my internet usage got more for business and TAI reasons, so now tell me what should be my budget. I have already stretched it from 6000 to 10000/- again from 10000/- to 15000/-, do I have any such need to stretch it for another 5000/- and I cannot use a mobile more than a year and maximum 2 years man, so what is the fun spending somuch, hope do you agree with me

It depends on you, since OS like IOS and ANDROID provides you more flexibility, who knows may be your usablity may increase after some good phone.

I tell you one thing even JB of android is not as light as IOS, in order to use Android fully atleast you need spec like Galaxy S duos, I guess you can easily go for SG S Duos for 14k.

if S3 mini is available for 17k then dont think twice buy that one, in another 3k you will get the best phone of Android I can say.

LG Optimus is a nice phone but only concern is LG's service, I hardly find service outlets of LG in bangalore compared to Samsung and SONY.

Samsung Galaxy Grand is overpriced device with low-resolution screen and cheap qua;ity soc. Well for such a large display, it sure lacks the ppi and i have seen the phone in my near by Samsung show room at the launch function. It have same plastic feel, and you don't see any big difference with normal usage. But it is quite visible while browsing/reading/playing games.

S3 mini is not available officially here in India. And more thing Duos S is not powerful phone at all and it has adeno 200 gpu which is cr@p at best. Duos S should price @12K not 15K period

One more thing about LG, LG is not proactive as sony and Samsang in providing software Updates, look at LG phones which are launched a year ago still waiting for updates,
But check Samsung all phone, even discontinued S advanced recieved JB updates,
Support after sale of Samsung is getting close to Apple now a days.

Even Sony rolled out ICS update for many Xperia phones

No price is very much inline for this phone, In 14k you get good brand phone and which very smoother too,

Do you know the Android is not good in using all cores of CPU and GPU, IOS is best in that. so even if you a multi core we are sure of usablity of all cores

between how much your L9 and did you get any software updates for that?

S3 mini is not officially available I know, Music swift said it is available for 17k may be in ebay I guess

1)LG is 2nd largest mobile phones provider in USA in terms of sales figures.
2) Google Nexus 4 is from LG brand which is selling like hot cakes.
3) Lg Optimus L9 P765 will get the JB updates around May-June confirmed
4) LG priced their phone reasonable in terms of price-performance ratio not like Samsung-Htc-Sony
5) LG is not small company most of manufacture useLG's masterpiece
screen.
6) Os in LG Optimus L9 is as smooth as JB


Buying S3 Mini from ebay will provide seller warranty not manufacturer. Seller in ebay just import (that not available in Indian market) the set from aboard and sells in India @higher price.

Beware of the phones with seller's warranty. The pricing of such phones are tempting but not recommendable. I for once fall into their trap , but a small chat with allhyundaicars helped me.

Oh buddy Asus also made Nexus 7 for google so what can I get if LG is good in USA.
I'm talking about India, if somethings goes wrong in your LG then you will come to know, My friend got to through his Optimus 2 for unsolved problems(mic issue) by service center you can also find many complaints on consumer forum too.

Honestly speaking I not against LG infact I'm also a customer of LG and hence I know about there service.

compared to your L9 I suggest SG S advance(17k) always(still available in flipkart) which already got JB(1month ago) why I should wait for another 4-6 months for updates from LG here ?

I personally like Google Nexus 4 because of GOOGLE not for LG.
you cannot bring Nexus here since it belongs to google, LG is just a supplier.

Yes, I agree with Ranger here about LG service, it is really not supportive at all. Yes, LG was really good when those times of LG cookie when there was no smart phone market much, but after that none of their model became so popular, what is the reason ??

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

Dharmesh, I didn't get you what is that

If go to link given below and search for warranty you will see "1 year seller's warranty"

http://www.onlydeals.in/Products/On...y-Xperia-ION-(-LT28-)-Mobile/pid-1979827.aspx

Now there are 2 types of warranty:

1. Manufacturer's warranty : Warranty that manufacture provides (Always recommend to go for this one.)
   
2. Seller's Warranty : Warranty provided by Seller. These items are either imported from other country at cheaper rates and they don't have international warranty so person who is selling takes the accountability of the item in case if any issues. But once item is sold, these people aare very to get hold of in case of issue. So if any one is ready to take that amount of risk can go for seller's warranty phone, and hope that it does not break or have any issue.

Yes it is because of their service only.

coming to darmesh point,

dearlers warranty is some thing very local and authorised service people dont support it.

Company warranty is best always

OK, now I understood, anyway I am against buying anything online.

How about a phone Acendus G600 ??

Buddy one bad service don't points the entire company is bad. I have used LGc2500 in past and their service is very good here. And have you heard LG Optimus One if you don't search google, its the phone that gets best in class community support in xda forum. Also Micromax has pathetic service I know myself but still people hyper about the canvas HD. But LG is far better brand than desi ones. Desi brand just stamps their own brand logo the sets from China and sells here.
Advance S has 768MB and low mah battery. My friend has it which not last a day compared L9 has monstrous 2100 mah si battery which last 2 days.

LG is the manufacturer for Google buddy credit goes to the company that made the set. For example: A writer writes a novel who should get the credit the publisher or the writer?

Reviews from the users who bought it. Only downside I can see is 768MB RAM.
