Things to keep in mind are

1. Is phone that you finally choose supported on XDA forums?
2. Does it have custom roms that can help you get rid of bloatware that come with OEM software piggybacking on Android (In a way I'm recommending Android. Period)
3. Does it have enough RAM ? 512-1 GB is good enough.
4. Is the touch interface/experience responsive ?
5. Can you play Angry birds ? :)

...

Why I would go for HTC Desire HD ?
- Gorilla Glass
- Dolby Sound
- HTC Sense

Why Xperia Arc S ?
- Sound Quality
- Sex appeal
- Resolution
- Camera capabilities



......

I would be happy if my phone battery survives the whole day with heavy usage. My phones are on 3G connected all the time and on WiFi at home or office. You can get more juice by controlling these depending on your preferences . Things like task killers, screen time out, Internet/Wifi policy etc., go a long way in optimizing your battery's efficiency.

Spot on zengetz ! + 1
Only one concern I have about the HTC service, I know RK may never go to service, but I hated HTC regarding my device service, but that was some 4 years back, now things might have improved. I would not ignore that point, more service stations always good(remember car buying!) [:D]

xperia go's screen resolution sucks. Ppi is very low.
Xperia j is good but single core processor. No point purchasing a single core.

delete HTC sensation because of HTC.

S duos and Sola are perfect for your requirement, you can buy any of these two without any doubt,

reason is simple Samsang and Sony are best android phone manufacturers who provides long term support for your phone.

If your requirements are so basic then why you get complicated by 100+ suggestion [clap].

You confirmed it but Sony didn't [lol]

see their official FB page is still active and still under production line. Please note the Xperia SOLA is a 1st phone from SONY not by SONY-ERICSON, Xperia Arc S is discontinued but not SOLA my dear friend,

I visited Sony center last week during my camera purchase, SOLA is still active their and still selling.

find the official pages of SOLA below

Official SONY site is still marketing SOLA
Xperia sola | Android smartphone - Sony Smartphones (Global UK English)

Official FB page
http://www.facebook.com/SonyXperiaSolaMobile


also note that Sola is a base for floating touch UI and sony/google and many developers are working on that.

they just give you updates for one year then forgets about the old users literally.

Buddy Both ICS and JB are lite compared previous OS, JB required more GPU power than ICS UI so 512MB RAM is not enough so SOLA is fine since it runs ICS already.

Why delete Sensation because of HTC? It's the BEST of the lot. It's got decent Dev. support too!
And Sola? Why choose the one with poor battery life? I guess it's one of his requirements.
And if you ready to buy a power bank, still it's not the Sola which comes in the list, instead, P. Spend 2K more and you'll get the best one(2nd - Sensation). But only with a power bank with you all the time.

Edit: I found a deal for HTC Amaze on eBay for just 15.4K! It's just great at it's price despite it's a bit old! Quite interesting phone it is. Do check it out.

If I were in the place of you, I would have have gone for Xperia P with a power bank.
If it's tight budget at 15K, definitely it's going to be the HTC Amaze.

Edit 2: Sensation is older than Amaze, so it's going to be Amaze. Still go have a check at the service center. And if it's alright, Go for Amaze, with eyes closed.

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

Friends,

Thank you for your suggestions, they were very informative and and confusing at the same time[;)]

It looks Xperia J has some good config with good battery capacity and 4" display with latest Android. Price is really less
Even HTC desire V also has some good config

About samsung galaxy s duos most of the complaints from the people who down load lot of apps and are games freaks, I am not going to do both of these things in my phone. Apart from that how do you find it with latest android os and 4" display. Some how I am willing to go for 4" display now.

I was out from office today from morning on a private function, as I have received some important business calls where I need to attend some thing throw my mail which was night mare with my phone and I have to make lot of running and reach back to office just now to finish those tasks. So this is one my typical requirement as I should be able to attend those office requirements on the phone easily and send replies quickly and read the docs sent to me.

I have just see a Lumia 510 with my of my nephew today and really friends Windows is really good and this screen response was also too good. Its size 4" was also impressive, but its problem was no external card slot for more space and camera without flash. Other wise that looked to me really awesome man and 620 has all those things missing in 510 , but again there is no news about it so nothing can be done more on that
