It costs 35000INR. Well it dosent fits even in my two month salary:laugh:

Galaxy s2 maybe?
i dont really know the exchange rate but the price of s2 is allways half from HTC one x

My friend had mini pro it has poor backup. 3 to 5 hours a day for normal use like texting and call. and very small screen 3"
I suggest u xperia U
It available around 15K in some sites. Best in Hardware. But lacks qwerty.

There is HTC Desire S
or the galaxy s1 too
there is not alot of difference but i prefer the s2

My friend just had the new Galaxy 3. Amazing device.

[SUGGEST] Buying my first Android!

Hello everybody,
I will buying my first android very soon and my budget is of INR 25,000 = 451.811 USD = 358.611 EUR
The prices are to be considered for unlocked devices.
Requirements:-
I would prefer ICS on it. It won't matter wether it comes preloaded or an update would be available afterwards.
It should have a front facing camera as now it is a requirement for me.
If possible suggest dual core smartphones.
The back camera should be minimum of 5 Mega-pixel with flash.
I would also prefer such phones which have developer community support.
It is preferable to have phones of Sony, HTC or Samsung as I don't trust other companies much.
My List:-
Sony Xperia P
I have heard it is a good phone but it's battery life may be shorter & I have also heard that due to the new white pixel techonlogy of Sony battery life is not a big problem as it consumes less power.
HTC Sensation
It is great phone but it was released last year and I have heard so may issues relating to it such as Death grip, unresponsive touch screen, poor battery life, improper viewing angles.
Suggestions are welcome but please see to it that it meets my list of requirements.

Sorry mate.
Post updated. Actually I use currency converter plugin that caused the problem while posting.
If that's the Indian rupee, $448 can get you a SGS3 if only it were available in India.. there's always buying it somewhere online and having it shipped to your country as an option.
If not, there's the Galaxy Nexus that I would recommend second.
I'd never recommend an HTC, due to in part that sense is nonsense. What's the point of going to a dev community with a sense phone if the #1 motif will be REMOVING Sense? Lol. I'd avoid HTC altogether. The beats by dre sound is a joke, just overpowered bass. Get Samsung, then combine it with voodoo sound.
Don't make the mistake of getting an SGSII though.

What about the HTC One like was suggested? From everything I've read it looks amazing (great screen, great camera). Then again, idk of that falls into the price range either.

Plenty of threads there to compare...both are old phones now so doesn't matter what you buy. Wait for newer phones this holiday season, may be a new nexus or Note 2 or may be HTC Super phone or LG Snapdragon S4 quad core beast.
Now is not the time to waste and bother about One X vs SGS3 debate.

Hahaha, sg3 will have jb, but jelly bean makes sg3 better than hox??? I dont think so. Since we defeated sg3 in benchmarks, hox Fórum is full of people crying about everything. We have the best phone till now. Just enjoy it. My hox is quiet brillant even using firmware 1.16.707.4

Those two phones are very similar hardware wise ...so yes, JB will bring a victory to S3. Its all about software now.

Again. When this is going to end?
HOX - ICS
GS3 - JB
The choice is yours.
Your just gonna get answers from the people who own each phone.
I could sit here and say that the One X is twenty times better, but thats becuase im a One X owner and have always liked HTC.
HTC for me just get the design right, on certain phones. Which I LOVE especially the HOX!
I have used both, and must say I still prefer the HOX but it is just personal preference, if you want a phone that looks like a pebble, get the SG3! if you want a beautiful phone get the HOX !

[Q] My first smartphone is getting old.

Hi boys, and girls
As my 2 year contract on my carrier, is getting to the finish line, i want to get something new. (I will keep my small litle muscle phone O1 as a second phone )
At the first i wanted the galaxy nexus, because of the great software support, and the developement, in our xda forum.
Then suddenly i saw the new Optimus 4x, but, there is one but. There is no developement in here, because of locked bootloader
I really don`t know what to take. Thought about the Xperia S, but nope.
The phones what i need to choose from , are - 1. Galaxy nexus
2. Optimus 4x
Maybe Acro S ?
Maybe some other suggestions?
Maybe the new LG Nexus? It'll be $399 on Google Store unsubsidized according to rumors.

Yeah, but it will not be available in my country for a while.
seeing how often google release OS.
I will stick to nexus device for fastest OS update
I love my Google experience device motorola xoom running AOSP jelly bean
Yeah. I think I'd go for the new nexus phone. Just wait for a lil while
I think getting a new LG phone is a waste, Anything other than a galaxy nexus is.
The new android OS? Availably from day 1.
Every app is tested on that first, which means closer to no bugs.
I think that i will take Galaxy Nexus. Just because of software support, developement. The performance is also o.k No need for 4 cores.

Well if you need calling stick with a phone. If you have another phone for that get a tqvlet. The nexus 7 is a nice portable one. If you want larger screen is go for nexus 10 but the nexus 10 goes over your budget limit

I think the s4 will be a great phone except for the fact that Samsung usually used cheap materials. But an otter box can easily fix that

Confirmed HTC One MINI?

Hi guys!
Just got a press release from the 2nd biggest phone opperator in Norway, Netcom, saying that they are opening the 4G/LTE network for phones now (used to just be mobile broadband)
Anyway, take a look at the list provided by Netcom, on supported devices. A slip? It's in Norwegian, but it's easy enough to see what part is the list
Further down, the article also states that it I weird that the mini is on the list, seeing as it is not confirmed!
What do you guys think?
