Android Phone 20K-25K

[puneet28]

Please suggest best option in price range of 20K-25K.
I finalised HTC Desire 816, but it is out of stock in my region. Flipkart is having 3rd party sellers who are looting and selling it arounf 27K.
What about Moto X ?
Can Nexus be considered ? It is listed at around 27K on Flipkart.

How is camera and processor performance of Moto X ? Inclining towards Moto X now.... Will it get future updates too ?

camera is pathetic on moto x
moderate cam and battery on n5 too
you should wait probably.. as chromaniac said these are old devices (motoX more than year old)and hardly any price cut.. you might get better phones and deals in a month or two.

 

[Manish24]

if you can extend your budget, go for G2.
Camera, battery, hardware etc overall best performance in a phone ~30k

Any idea about release of Moto X+1 ?

I find Camera to be better on Moto X than Nexus 5, specially quick capture as it has proven helpful. The camera has improved alot since 4.2, plus it's wider than Nexus 5, just keep manual exposure control and focus and HDR on and photos will turn out to be great.
Here are some samples i gathered from camera album of my own X,

Performance wise, on paper, it's definitely not better than Nexus 5 but that would be hardly seen IRL, Still.. it's a huge deciding factor so Moto X loses here.
Altough it has travelled a long way from 4.2.2 to 4.4.3, the future updates were guaranteed to be there before google sold it to lenovo, and until lenovo keeps it as a separate company, you can expect updates on this phone.
Also it's wise to wait for upcoming phones, you can expect moto x+1 this august.
EDIT: for photosphere, fisheye, background blur-type photos, you can use Google Camera from play store for that..

August not much far away.... I think I should wait for it then.
Any more option other than X+1 ??

Will Moto launch the X+1 simultaneously in India?

Also, I doubt that the price would be 25k

my brother is using htc desire 816 which he got at 23.5k from a local store and trust me phone is awesome, and if u need a dual sim phone, desire 816 is best option, camera is superb both front and rear(much best than any nexus or moto)... 5.5inch 720p display great for browsing and videos... phone is snappy and fast, design and build quality is attractive.. speaker output is best no competition, only drawback is the phone is huge if you are not comfortable with holding big phones....

Yep 5.5 is huge.

720p on 5.5"? That does not sound very fun to me.
