On the lookout for an Android phone.

[AB96]

I've just finished my HSC examinations and was using Nokia E72, which runs on Symbian, until now.
Currently, I'm on the lookout for an Android phone, but I'm not at all an expert in these things. And hence, I'm asking for help from the members here.
The requirements:
1. Good/great display. I will be watching FullHD videos, so I would prefer a 1920 x 1080 Pixels resolution.
2. Screen size shouldn't be too much. 5.5 inches max.
3. 1.5 GHz processor (or better), and good graphic card, as I'll be playing games frequently.
4. 2 GB RAM (or 1.5 GB at least).
5. Good/great battery life.
6. The audio and video output should be good/great.
7. EXTERNAL MEMORY SHOULD BE AVAILABLE (or 32 GB internal).
I wrote the 7th point in BOLD because I've seen that many phones nowadays, like Nexus 5 or Moto X only have internal memory.
My budget is around 25-30K. Will be flexible if I come across a good product.
A response will be appreciated.

LG G2 is outside your budget. Micromax Canvas Knight?

Samsung Galaxy S4 can also be considered, if you're fine with TouchWiz and a common looking phone.

Nexus 5 does have 32GB internal..might want to consider that.

LG G2 is way out of my budget. And I certainly don't trust Micromax's customer service due to my past experiences.

Samsung Galaxy S4 can also be considered, if you're fine with TouchWiz and a common looking phone.

Good suggestion, but no. A friend of mine owns this and I hated its build quality. To add to it, its UI was disappointing and was loaded with unwanted features. Certainly not what I expected from a 30K phone.

Nexus 5 does have 32GB internal..might want to consider that.

Didn't know there was a 32 GB version in the market. Thanks.

Moto X does not have the 32GB version in India right now but Nexus 5 does.

Do you have any idea when it will be in the market? And is there an international e-commerce site from where I can purchase the 32 GB version and get it shipped to India?

nexus 5 is a better purchase than moto x when it comes to value for money. moto x makes more sense if you need a different phone (contextual features and wood options)
