few more options - nexus4 (regular android update from google, that's why we want android phones i guess.)
Xperia - ZL - great phone, really didn't liked the viewing angles of Z and for ZL also it should be same. (It was available for 31k recently due to a deal )
I'm also looking for something similar and trying to make a decision. Most probably nexus 4...

Get a nexus 4 from the US or you could also consider Sony Xperia ZL and the Galaxy S3. GS3 is still a very potent device. The leaks suggest that it will get key lime pie. O4G should be 4G LTE-FD enabled. I'm not sure why the Indian version should skip out on that. videocon's 4g network will reportedly run fine with O4G.

For 30k, get the Optimus G. You will find it for about 30k and its a pretty good phone. If you want a better camera and an AMOLED display, the S3 is a no-brainer in that price range.
I'd get the Optimus G for its 2GB of ram, ram is extremely important for me because I multitask a lot and I run a lot of widgets.

S3 is extremely slow phone due to 1gb ram

Xperia Z/ZL or optimus G

xperia z or zl are priced above 35k..go for optimus g or galaxy s3 if you hate lg (which for some reason a lot of people do)

And i hate galaxy series for their pathetic design & build quality though h/w is good. Seriously they need a good design team.

My Samsung grand just survived a toss to the floor from my daughter Phone, battery cover and battery all flew apart, but it is working just fine. Diss Samsung all you want, but plastic is simply more durable.

Go for ZL or wait till april for price to fall

thats good it survived..parts flew apart n thats d reason nothin happnd to phone as d impact energy got dispersed.
my old nokia n ericsson all plastic survived heavy impacts just coz of that.
I am fine wid plastic with a 10-20k phone. But when one is paying 30k+, they sure want every aspect to be premium be it hardware, design or build

indian present and upcoming 4g networks are not supported by the 4g phones available in market.. have to wait until the 700mhz spectrum is auctioned to use 4g services..
