Ram Dante Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Guys am looking to replace my BB Storm.Max budget 20k. I am looking for a Android phone with a good display with a min of 4inches. Fast UI + good camera capabilities under all lighting and minimum of 720p recording and most important of em all it sould have good Audio quality atleast as good as those nokia music edition phones! Open to get mildly used phones too! Suggest me the best phone in this budget. P.s. Was lookin at the Optimus 2x but the phone's camera gets screwed after the Gingebread update it seems, so having second thoughts on that!

dante77 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Don't even think of Optimus 2X. Almost every reviewer mentioned about Lag problem. The phone is slower than even some of the single core phones! Nexus S, galaxy S and S plus (slightly out of your budget) are your only options.

Ram Dante Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Micromax!! now way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Boss Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Micromax, Spice, Karbonn etc= China made mobiles customized for them. Dual core or triple core, that mobile wont be google certified and will have all random crap in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splus is great, but no camera flash. These were the reasons I saved up and went for Galaxy S2. No drawbacks and ICS guranteed. If you cant increase budget, go for Xperia Neo V or Xperia Arc. Sony has promised ICS for all Xperia phones released in 2011. I am guessing they will get it sometime in June 2011. Also, Galaxy S2 is available on Sulekha for 24,999. 2-3 members on TechEnclave ordered it and got without any issues in 4 days. If you trust Sulekha, you can go for it. If you are spending 20k, I suggest spend a few more and get the best yet. Edited November 9, 2011 by ambar_hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xperia Neo V/Arc looks sexy guess I ll check these phones out! Edited November 9, 2011 by Ram Dante Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante77 Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 no matter how good they become. Micromax will always remain micromax. There is a 4" spice device with 1GHz Processor and adreno 205 GPU with an HDMI output in the market for just 12k! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Oh btw Kal-El is out. It's Tegra 3 now and in the Asus Transformer Prime. So much for dual core mobile devices kal-el is not all peaches though.. It still has a single channel for memory interface (That's why all their demos are ones which dont require much memory bandwidth) and synchronous cores..I'd rather prefer a dual core next gen arch. than an A9 quad going into 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing a good number will buy any quad core device they put on the market without really thinking about memory bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piper Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Installed MIUI on my N1 yesterday. It is by far the best experience on an Android phone, offers tons of tweaks and utiliities right out of the box. And no unnecessary apps whatsoever as part of the install. A big thumbs up to the guys at MIUI. I was about to try CM7 but ended up trying this first. Any reason to go to CM7 over MIUI? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulovski Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 CM7 is like Linux and MIUI is like Apple - take your pick. CM7 will basically allow you to get your hands dirty on the phone. Only thing is 99% users won't know what to do with it. Stick to MIUI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A big thumbs up to the guys at MIUI. I was about to try CM7 but ended up trying this first. Any reason to go to CM7 over MIUI? I keep thinking about the right opposite question. I'm still on NSCollab (a CM7 based ROM) on my Nexus S and I'm hesitating with regard to shifting to MIUI because I don't have the time to back up and shift every single app and set up the homescreen all over again.

achilles Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, guys, ...HEY! Any thoughts on Flash? Edited November 10, 2011 by achilles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfrag Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) For me, MIUI is sluggish and a huge battery drain. I don't like the long press Home thing they've done, it's extremely irritating. CM7 + GO Launcher EX is what I prefer, anytime. However, MIUI's overall UX, popup menus is very good, their copy paste mechanism is one of the best I've ever seen. Another pet peeve I have with MIUI is you can't slide away/remove individual notifications. Dunno if they've added that, since I tried it quite a while ago.
