hi iam very confused whether to buy htc E8,samsung note 3 and htc, desire 816 but i need a stuff like s pen in samsung but note 3 is not up to the mark (my opinon)
Hi, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 is a good phone and the experience you will get with S pen is unique with the Note series and the phone offers good value for money now, when its available under 38,000 Rs. I don't know why you are saying its not upto the mark but let me tell you that you will always find something bad about every phone. No phone is perfect and there will be many negative reviews about every phone, you might search for the 3 you have mentioned. I will suggest you to go with the Note 3 as it offers what you need. Or if you can spend some additional money, wait for a month and go with the improved Note 4.
Which is the best android phone under 15000 with good camera and RAM
Hi, Xiaomi Mi 3 is the best.
Hi Rahul,
I want to buy an android phone at 15000 rupees. I am eager to buy Moto G as it is considered to be the best at this price.
But my elder brother is saying that you cant get motorola parts and any service in India. if damaged. All service centres are closed (he had used motorola fire xt530 and cant replace the cracked screen till now).
What do you think about this issue? Should I go for Samsung or Xperia mobiles now?
I want to buy a smartphone. I have short listed htc 700, samsung grand 2, Sony xperia t2 ultra & samsung s4 mini, Please help me for buying a right smartphone. and plz tell me about htc 700.
Hi,
My name is Sarat.I have Iphone 5 but to use videos and musics are so friendly.I am planning to buy phone for musics and videos which one do you suggest?good battery life and price.
Thanks,
Sarat
Hi thanks for your answer what about nexus 5 battery life is not a issue to play videos and musics ?
Thanks
Google is working on an update to improve the battery life of Nexus 5 so, it will solve the problem.
If price is not the issue for you, buy Nexus 5 the Android 4.4 Kitkat Music experience is very good and pure. Also the its awesome Full HD display will serve good video playback experience. But if you don't want to spend that huge amount, you will get many good phones. Basically a good Android phone will do the job. In lower budget, buy Moto G which also comes with Android Kitkat.
My mistake not so friendly Iphone 5 eheheh
They say that Nexus 5 has poor battery? Is it true?
Hello Avinash,
With medium to heavy usage, you might neend to charge Nexus 5 twice a day. Now call it poor or ok.
Hi Rahul,
Thanks for the nice article. I want to buy a phone from in the range of Rs 25000 to 30000. I have short listed Nokia Lumia 925, Google Nexus 5, Sony Experia ZL. Please help me for buying a right smartphone. My main concern is durability and ease of use. Feel free to suggest a phone other than above. Thanks. Will appreciate your help.
Hello Sandip,
Google Nexus 5. A performance powerhouse with sturdy & durable design. The best phone launched last year.
Hi Rahul,
These were really the best smart phones that were launched in 2013. BTW I liked HTC one the most ;).
Hello Sheshnath, thanks for the comment & yup HTC One is a winner.
Dear Mr. Rahul, what about XOLO Q3000
Hello,
Its a very good phone with awesome specs and a good large screen.
palnning to buy a sony xperia. can you suggest the better one ZR or ZL.
Hello Rajeev, Sony Xperia ZL is better.
my budget is below 30000 suggest some mobiles from samsung and sony.....i really confused......and which brand do you think much better???
In 30,000 Rs, I will suggest you only one phone.. close ur eyes and go buy Google Nexus 5. Its awesome.
Yeah..but there was a opinion that for the camera, doesn't worth to buy.You won't suggest any other??????
There is surely an opnion that its camera is not what one exactly looks in a 30,000 phone but, If you look at the overall specifications, not buying this phone just for the sake of camera is not really a good idea.
And if you want to go for other phones then take a look at Gionee Elife E7 otherwise its best to go with Sony Xperia ZL.
