Android smartphone in Rs. 10000-12000 price segment

[Sushubh]

So a friend of mine is looking to buy an Android phone. He essentially started with a Windows Mobile based HTC smartphone. Switched to Blackberry. Has been using a featurephone for the last couple of months. Now wants an Android device.
His budget is between Rs. 10-12K. He can at max stretch it to Rs. 14K but not above.
I suggested him to take my Galaxy Nexus for Rs. 10K as I would most likely get the Moto X which it is launched this month or next. But he wants to look at options for new phones.
About him? He is a Facebook addict. Other than that his company uses Google Apps. So, needs are quite basic. I do not think he would be running complex games on the phone. Usable camera would be great.
What would you guys suggest?

I too am not (as obvious by me suggesting it in the first place) But yeah, if it is so, then I would go for Lenovo, purely for the battery thing & keep the others as option only because of lesser price

Alright. He has made up his mind about Lenovo. He does not care that it runs Android 4.1. He just needs WhatsApp and Facebook to work properly. LOL.

Why not get a 5k phone

 

[Sushubh]

Well. Unlike my dad, his dad is showing the willingness to get a smartphone with touchscreen. If my dad was slightly interested, I would have gotten him a Lumia as well.

Tradus has its own range of issues. Plus, it has the same typical battery. :
