both phones arent favorites for resale purpose,keep in mind galaxy nexus shall be compared with xperia S,P is not with its league and for sure nexus is better then xperia P.

on galaxy nexus u will get advantage of updates,very customizable and best developer support.

the things i didnt like is back of the phone and plastic body but very hard plastic,better then s2 or s3.the worst thing is speaker volume.rest i love it for being simple and extremely fast with beautiful animations.i have sold s3 recently,i found galaxy nexus as a better phone im terms of UI.Pure android feel.

Xperia P has smaller screen and performance wise not so fast or good with animations.seruously get a sensation XE in slightly used instead on xperia p.

the main reason i am avoiding sony phones is because of no resale and less value in pakistan, samsung galaxy is a good phone but with a 5mp cam on the other hand xperia p has an 8mp but samsung galaxy is upgradeable to jellybean... any other good option samsung or htc in the same price range?

i was also worried about 5mp camera.but results are quite nice,im bit into object photography,can post few pic sample if u want.havent kept any samsung for more then a month but planning to keep this for atleast 3months :).other option can be htc one s and samsung galaxy s2 or htc Amaze.

Go for galaxy nexus!! Software wise its the best. Buttery smooth jelly bean! And you'll love the navigation touch buttons. And resale will be higher as compared to xperia P

look for better features rather then resale...all phones have same shape more or less but sony has a different one..a way different one nd you will also be in love with it's screen due to bravia engine..(same technology as of their TV's)

Hey, Samsung Galaxy Nexus is best one to go for. You just need to pay for one time but does not have any regret for future as if some other and new technology in the phones as Galaxy Nexus is a phone with all the advanced features and techniques in it.

Huawei Honor 2 or stay with Xperia P.

The only good mid-range android phone with 2 GB Ram, Quad-Core at just 35k, as you increased the budget. It's also available with 1 yr warranty.

But my personal recommendation is Xperia P, It has a better camera that can do panorama and 3D Sweep Panorama. The only cons is that it comes with Micro-SIM, no Micro-SD slot as well. Poor resale value doesn't matter as the Xperia series is pretty much underrated. Despite of not getting MicroSD, you still get 13 GB Internal.
