I'm planning to ask my uncle to get a phone from the USA. He'll be coming in the 2nd week of January. My phone purchase has been long overdue; I've been using my Nokia 5230 since more than 2.5 years . What would be the best phone at about Rs.30k? What would I need to know before ordering a phone like this? Should I get an unlocked phone? How would the warranty work? Does it actually make sense to get one from the USA?
Questions:-
1. Q: Budget?
A: 30k
2. Q: Preferred Form Factor(flip, bar, slider)?
A: Bar
3. Q: Preferred display type?
A: LCD. I don't mind AMOLED, though.
4. Q: Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them.
A: I like HTC's build quality and I don't quite like Samsung's. But I've heard bad things about HTC's service and they've earned a bad reputation for a bad battery life as well. A bit confused here.
5. Q: Preferred input method (Touchscreen, QWERTY, etc.)?
A: Touchscreen
6. Q: Camera required or not? If required, please specify type like front camera/flash/etc.
A: I don't care about the camera much.
7. Q: Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
A: Android. Not against iOS, if it fits in my budget.
8. Q: Preferred connectivity options? (3G, Wifi, Edge etc).
A: 3G.
9. Q: What is your intended use for this phone(internet, camera, multimedia, mails, etc)?
A: Majorly audio, because I travel quite a lot and I even sometimes sit and write reviews at restaurants. I tend to go alone sometimes and I would like to take my documentaries with me, to keep me company at cafes or restaurants. I'm not much of a gamer.
10. Q: Any other requirements?
A: I need at least 32GB of storage. A screen that's really good in the sunlight, because I tend to be outdoors for quite long. Because I tend to be out for quite long in a day, I need a good battery life too.
11. Q: If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.
A: HTC One X, HTC One X+. Should I consider Motorolas and Sonys?
Thanks in advance.
