Congrats Bro,

After long time, in the same amazon site i booked Mi 5 and waiting for delivery by today or tomorrow.

I haven't picked one plus because i just want a latest model phone with 5" screen, and the phone will replace my old LG Optimus G

I know one plus 3 is far superior in specs but my first and formost preference is size and am ready to go for lower storage capacity, because i won't store much data in phone so 32gb is okay for me, where as if required still i have the option to move data to OTG pen drive or Cloud storage.

Planning to replace my ex-Nexus 5,which is with my mom to an iPhone 5S or SE or One Plus 3 soon.Which is best?
Here the question in debate is whether you need an android or IOS ! i'll let apple users comment about IOS devices , but I heard from my friend that SE is a better bet . Coming to android OP3 is spot on .

Apple starts offering deals on their stuff only when its reaching end of life or new stuff is coming.
The OnePlus 3 is a deal if you have back up of a good service centre if things go wrong. In that perspective, its better to stick to reputed brands. I bought an A5 2016. The A8 is much better but bigger and i wanted something pocketable

Iphone 5s is a good buy for Rs. 21,500 when it is silver and not space grey as space grey is cheaper than silver.

Instead of buying Iphone SE buy a Iphone 6 for a better larger screen but 12 Mp camera available in SE but Iphone 6 has more bigger screen and price range is same as the SE. So choose between the bigger screen Iphone 6 or bigger camera SE.

Ameyam-Yeah,Apple gives offers when it's reaching end of life.So,does iPhone 5S.This is for my dad,who lost his iPhone 6 yesterday.So,was thinking to buy a 5S for himself so that he can handle it carefully.

Mithra-I'm already using iPhone 6 16GB in gold colour since last 1 year.So,no point in buying a 6 again.This is for my dad,who lost his 6 16GB in space grey avatar yesterday.He was using 6 for 1 year.But,unfortunately,he lost his phone yesterday.So,my dad came up with an idea that he would use my 6 so that I could buy a 5s or SE.My dad planned to purchase a 5s for me,but I said I'll buy only SE coz of its camera and future proof and I got bored with larger screens as I'm using those since last 2 years(Nexus 5 and presently,iPhone 6).So,thinking to buy a smartphone,which is compact and easy to use.

My only problem with my dad is he always switches off his phone and keeps somewhere.Same happened with his 6 and previous Samsung Grand.We always get irritated coz of his attitude coz he switches off his phone and I always tell him that keep a secondary phone besides first phone so that if we have urgent work,we could call him.Can you please tell me the suggestion on this?

Have your Iphone 6 with you and get your father an Ipad with cellular (which fits your budget) so that now your father might not lose the ipad as it is more like a small laptop. (My suggestion).

or
Give your phone to your father and buy yourself a SE, SE not only comes with huge camera but it has different colours/avatars in it.

Mitra-Second option seems to be preferred choice for us.My dad said,get 5S not SE coz he doesn't wanna spend extra ₹15-16K on SE due to shortage of funds.So,thinking to go ahead with the purchase of iPhone 5S as it is cheaper and will use it for few months and sell it off for buying iPhone 7 or iPhone SE in another few months.

Ameyam-iPhones are trackable but the only problem is the phone got switched off and it was not connected to the Internet.So the only option is to file FIR as of now.p

Peeps,which compact iPhone is best to buy?iPhone SE or 5S?Heart says SE whereas mind says 5S due to cheaper price.And,what's the current future of iPhone 5S in 2016?Anyone there who bought iPhone 5S'es recently in 2016?

I bought my iphone 5s on Mar. '16 space grey 16 GB i would say buy it as the robustness of this phone will not be available after few years from Apple and all phones from Apple will be of larger screen and it will be a lot slimmer in future. So buy iphone 5s and keep it with you for years as this quality, robust design will not be available so it is like buying an amby after it was going to be discontinued because the design is no more or will not be produced in future.

In simple words, whether you buy an iphone 5s or SE now, it is more precious that we will not be able to see phones from any manufacturer like this in future even from Apple.
