Do check Huawei Honor 7 & Lg G4 is same or less price bracket.

It is a good phone but personally I'll prefer newer model as it was released back in 2014.

Honor 7 has weird black borders on the display while G4 has pretty ordinary battery according to reviews.
I'm very confused!

AOA

Using p8 lite since dec 15, till now no problem at all! infact i read a official news that marshmallow will be launched on several Huawei models! check the link below! budget friendly with loaded stuff! however if you want better performance then check out Huawei Shotx, faster octa core processor, 5.2 inch screen, rotating 13mp camera and best feature is fingerprint locking mechanism! recently bought for my mother. it costs around 35k. check that too!

here is the link below for models which will get Marshmallow

When is your phone getting Android 6.0 Marshmallow?

Most smartphones, especially flagships have battery timings of ~4 hours "screen on time" with decent standby. They have QuickCharge feature, which charges upto 50% in ~30 minutes. Full charging takes ~1.5 hours.

So no worries about battery timings. Get a good powerbank for this issue!

LG G4 is one of the very best options you can get. It can achieve 3-4 hours "screen on time" with great standby times. Moreover you can QuickCharge it in middle of the day or before going outside!

I had LG G4 a week back and its awesome overall! I was getting 4-5 hours of "screen on time" in basic internet usage in WiFi. 3-4 hours SOT in a bit heavy usage.

P8 Lite is best overall. Great brand, great quality, official warranty, great specs and great practical experience. Even with a tiny 2200mah battery, it gives ~4 or even more hours of "screen on time" on Internet usage with decent standby times which is perfectly fine.
@geforce911 @zia1288

Lets see what they have to say about their P8 lite experience!

Asus Zenfone 2 (2GB RAM) is actually the best option, but its not officially available here, but you can get it from abroad in ~$200. Its camera is now great after software updates, though the internet reviews say that its camera is not so great.

Correction:
If he already owns a better camera phone, then i suggest Lenovo Vibe P1M as secondary phone, as it can charge other phones on the go with its massive 4000mah battery.

My cousin bought z10... it has 3 GB ram and 1080p screen will check it out tomorrow.
Thank you

It's a very good phone in this price. Solid build quality, premium design, specs and front flash too.

However 3GB RAM is not useful for it, as the Qmobile kept the RAM management to very aggressive (killing tasks unnecessarily) and it doesn't even utilise full 2GB RAM. But the FHD resolution display (~425 ppi) is surely a great thing.

Do confirm if the phone is draining battery fast in idle. Many people having Noir Z10 complain about that. I looked into that issue deeply on a Z10 for few days and to me it seems a temporary software bug, which will be fixed in an update. But Qmobile are usually very lazy with software updates.

Mate 7 is good phone but 47k for a new mate 7 is a serious no from my side.You can get better phones in this range, like used S6, note 4 or a new Oppo R7 Plus for 40k. I have tried all these and settled for note 4.

Used Nexus 6 is another option.

Have anyone here used a Nokia Lumia 640 or 640 XL..?

Have anyone here used a Nokia Lumia 640 or 640 XL..?

Yes, only for few days temporarily.

Lumia 640 and 640XL are great windows phone overall. The thing I like most about them is their manual camera controls, that even allows manual focusing, shutter speed adjustment and few other advanced controls that I find very useful in many occasions.

640 front camera is just 0.9MP camera and not available here officially, other than that its way better than Lumia 540 in almost every aspect.

Lumia 640XL has Carl Ziess optics lens and the photo quality is excellent, almost like a flagship.

The ONLY problem with them is that they are on Windows platform, other than that i did not face a single issue with them.

But I won't deny that there are some better Android phones available in same price range. @silentassassin1 has 640XL AFAIK.

Windows phone have less apps available, even some very popular apps are missing. This is the biggest issue in Windows phone platform. You can have a look at their app store for your required apps in advance if you want.

I am using Galaxy J5 for the last 3-4 months, camera results are very good. Brand new non warranty model is for 20000/-. Non warranty used J5 would be 15000-17500 depending on condition.

https://youtu.be/yqjFaphOwWU

You can look for Huawei Honor 4C, it will be ~16000-17500/- brand new and has a very capable f/2.0 aperture BSI camera, if used properly. I actually feel pity for those people who neglect Honor 4C just because internet reviews are not so good about it.

[s15]

A small advice from my side!

Smartphones can be changed (upgraded) anytime, but whatever cannot be changed (upgraded) are the photos (memorable moments) captured by its camera. So ALWAYS invest in a phone with BEST camera!

One blurry photo due to its poor camera can result in losing memorable moments that may never ever come back!
