Phone in 10k range

[mhsabir]

My first suggestion was to get the Moto G. But the person is not so tech-savvy, and wants some 4-5 options to choose from including atleast one Windows one. As other factors like looks may also make a difference (Even the OS feel). "Brand" is not a must but another one option in that category would be nice.
Budget is 10K. Maybe 1k more. Thats another reason why Moto G is sort of kept as "will be considered" than a sure shot by him.

Note: Urgency is not there, so I have also asked him to be on the watch out for online deals (Basically I have been told, let me know if there is some good deal online)

If budget was around 6-7k then it would have been easy to suggest
but with the MOTO G available and SOLID performer, I don't think anyone with a budget of 10-11K should be considering anything else.
If still that person doesn't needs Moto G, XOLO has 1000 and few others in that range, but FREE Gorilla will not be given layful:

Well, like I said - The person wants options whether he would use or not I dont know. Its basically this - there are 100s of phones in the market now. He is asking my help (and I in turn yours) to help him narrow down to say 5 among which he would decide & choose whichever suits him.

Yep, Xolo q1000 or Canvas HD are pretty much in that range.

Xolo Q1100 or Xolo Q1000.
Also windows 525 if that person is a lady.

And you'll get Galaxy core advance in that price range.

So my suggestions that I intend to tell him today in no particular order are
a) Moto G
b ) Lumia 525
c) Xolo Q800 - Q1100 (And all in between - let him choose pick which he wants based on size, budget etc)
d) Samsung Galaxy Core Advance - For "brand"
e) Nokia X - If he is in the mind for some lol
Any other....

Moto G and Galaxy Core are out of his 11k budget.

True that. I am just putting it there as he wanted some brand. Plus I hope to somehow convince by saying MotoG @ 12.5 is still better than other branded one at anything around that price or bit below.
So, anything else I can put in place of Core Advance. I intend to retain Moto G in any case. If anything Core Advance has to go
