Hard luck son...
I too was looking to switch from my Note to this but these 'horror' stories leave much to be desired.

Well camera is not a big deal when I buy a phone, I buy a phone for a buttery experience which for android, only and only a nexus device can give.[DOUBLEPOST=1380540572][/DOUBLEPOST]
Better go with SamsungLess to worry
lolwut? Samsung rofl. Thou if u are trollin' then nvm.
When i read the comments about experiences people had with the S4, some opted to go with the Z1 instead of the N3.Better go with Samsung
OP's issue is very simple, he got a defective unit. Replace it and try again. Its not like he cannot do this.
Z1 has the best camera on android for now. The bulk of the complaints i've seen are it does not do well in superior auto mode in low light. To do better here requires manual. It requires some knowledge about taking photos but once you have that the photos tend to be quite good. Most people who complain don't seem to be able to learn this part. All the reviews you see are auto shootouts. If this camera did better in auto mode its then branded as the better camera, but the differences are becoming more narrow with this years batch. The skill of the user in actually taking photos is becoming more important now.
Effectively this is your 'one star reviewer' issue you see on amazon. Every product has 1 star reviews, the more popular it is the more one star reviews you see. Assessing how valid their complaints actually are is a difficult & tedious process. Are they right or just ignorant of how the product is to be used. I find one out of ten of them know what they're talking about. This requires you to know quite a lot just to be able to get the valid 1 star reviews. Then when solutions are mentioned these people either run away or have taken a sworn oath never to buy from 'x' company ever again. So we never get to see or rarely whether the fixes are legit or not. All this leads to incomplete info that feeds rumours and influences perceptions.

Been waiting since 2 weeks. Phone has been with Homeshop18 since 30th of September. no refund nothing as of yet. I call them everyday. Stuck in a situation, 40k of my money stuck. No phone... Sigh
I don't know. I'll try to find out. I'm in Manipal so I can't do jack squat. I'll find out and let you know ASAP.
hehe, you read that as well..
I don't believe that FK did 7 replacements, one ok, two max, then they refund your money and tell you to get lost. People are having trouble convincing the service centre that there is indeed a hue issue then how can this guy get 7 replacements !?
if you look at OP, he still has not got his FIRST replacement yet. Sony is taking their time.

If you want card slot, better camera, IP 58 (Dust Proof and water Proof, all those crazy mumbai rains) but smaller screen with Half HD then Sony Xperia Z1 F (mini)
else bigger screen but no card slot and Dolby digital speakers then LG G.
Personally I'd go with Sony (among these 2) but then Sony's A.S.S
