Suggest New Smart Phone For 15K (Bought Nokia Lumia 620. More: Pg.60)

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

if it is only windows phone then I will consider 620/510/820

As I said before windows have no flexibility like IOS/ANDROID.

1. Why you have chosen 820 behind 620 and 510

2. What do you mean by flexibility, can you please elaborate a bit

820 is a very good phone I dont mind to stretch my budget so I mentioned it.

Flexibility means freedom of usage with loads of 3rd party FREE apps

Ok, 820 is a good one than 620,510 but budget wise it is on the higher side, but offers more than these two.

So If I do not care for that 3rd party free apps stuff, then according to you windows will suit me perfectly as I hate battery killing apps in Android though it is a beautiful OS

Android has so many problems but still nice one, there are ways you can configure Android to behave like windows in-terms of battery life by killing apps frequently,
I guess someone already gave some tips to control it.

May be I fall for lumias quality, UI touch response etc etc but I still feel windows have limitations compared to IOS and android.

For your requirement 620 suits well but still Android will satisfy you better surely.

Example GPS systems on Android VS Windows, you tell me which one you pick ?

RK sir, i know you love the Lumia (nitin will be amazed. :P) and are willing for it. why dont you go to a mobile store and check out the phones currently on the market? you might just like one of them.

and just to annoy Nitin, i'm planning to buy a 620 which is already launched here.

How many application you really use in a smart phone on day to day usage? Almost all applications used commonly are even available with windows too...
When you buy a smart phone, one should have concerns on the quality of display, capability for multi tasking, quality of its hardware like sound and cameras, capability to connect faster with internet, reliability when switching from 2G to 3G or 4G signals, capacity of battery etc.. other than the platform used for its development.
The operating system or the unwanted applications available in their store should never be a concern for common buyer.

My Xperia Neo V and Tab 2 serves better in all aspects you mentioned above.

If you think 3rd party developer Apps are useless then Nokia would be on top today, this is the stuff thought by Mr.JOBS to the world.

I use so many application on Android most importantly today whatever the new applications introduced by 3rd party developer is 1st come in either IOS or Android.

Let me ask you a question, If I want to use some Offline Map like sygic on Windows platform what I should do?

I never said Apps are not available on Windows but Android and IOS are 1st to experience them. I personally cannot wait for something I wanted to use.

I checked Windows App Market, it is still not enough to provide you the flexibility expected.
Windows should realize the power of developer friendly OS platform.

@Ranger,TypeR,GNS

Yes, By configuration 620 is really good and yes I may buy it if nokia prices it below 15K and make Nitin happy too

Windows and Android are two different worlds.

Android being using by every body since few years, so people are more used to it and its applications, it is a difficult question that how far those applications are really required in day to day life. It is a Android mania dominating the market at the moment.

On other side windows is really simple with its offerings which are most required in day to day life and more business centric with its office package integrated. They have not included those many apps in their mobiles and may be we cannot install all those 3rd part apps, but one needs to examine how many of those 3rd party apps we require really. Again this question depends on once own personal approach on mobiles.

A big advantage with windows phone whatever I have seen is, it keeps battery live for more time than Android where on android you are tempted to use lot of applications, so however you install some "kill apps" programs you tend to use more apps every time and it eats away battery very soon.

Android advantage over windows is you can customise lot of things according to your need and mood, just like the desktop appearance and so many other things.

Questions of @Ranger, Yes I like GPS with google maps because I am used to it on my laptop or present mobile and I am not exposed to nokia maps, so once I start using them, I may also like them too.

On windows nokia phone, Nokia is already offering offline maps for free and there is no need of Sygic paid maps. If I need online maps any way use google maps or download a location specific map from nokia and use it.

@TypeR, please check few pages back I have already mentioned my experience of visiting a mobile store.

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

Yes there are so many apps which are really helpful in daily life, Apps like Google Maps, navigation, GPS share, location finder are comes free. Flexibility is not exactly a need but it is a freedom and who knows how you will be tomorrow!!!!
You may like to use some smart apps like mojostreet by looking at your friends Android/IOS phone but you are using windows and app is not available!

You may like to add apps like tax calculator, photo editors, Video editors, some time pass games while travelling, free call apps, free chat apps, file share apps etc etc, I'm sure you will find answer for your no head search too on Google play and Istore.

I guess you are very much clear about S duos, S3 mini, S advance, 620 so only time will tell who will be the winner here.

710 will be priced 13.5k means where 620 will be placed ?

Re: Suggest a New Android Phone Around 15k

@Ranger

1.google maps-nokia maps, navigation-both have it, GPS-both have it, location finder-nokia have it but i do not know it comes free or not. I agree with you on the freedom part to play around with certain things like desktop and all.

What is mojostreet ??

This is waste of time to me !!

Yes I am very clear about those samsung phones and it will be known after 620 launch. Yes I have the same doubt if 710 is at 13.5k then where this 620 will be placed. As per the news about Lumia range price reduction by Nokia in TOI, may be there is a possibility of 620 very close to 15K, I seriously think that even Nokia is also waiting for budget session in India for the launch of 620

Hmm, one more bad news : Samsung Galaxy SIII mini not coming to India ? source : NDTV gadgets
