Asus Zenphone 5 ticks most requirements. About LTE/4G as requirement, I am not sure how soon this is going to be mainstream - read affordable. I would better suggest get one without it now, use it for couple of years and upgrade later when more phones are available with 4G and providers also have realistic rates.

Don't know about the the lenovo launch but Yu yureka and Redmi Note fulfill your requirements perfectly but since yo're averse to these brands Asus Zenfone 5 can be a good option.

Why is 4G not affordable? Airtel offer 4G at 3G rates in Bangalore and at times 4G is cheaper than 3G! (In some corporate plans)

Airtel offers 3G/4G at the exact same price.

If you can't wait for Lenovo A7000 then the Honor 4x. Else wait for the A7000. Seems to be a interesting choice in that budget range.
