3. Preferred operating system? (Android (with version), iOS, Windows Phone etc).

4. Preferred connectivity options? (4G, 3G, 2G etc).
A: 3G, 4G would be an added advantage

5. Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them.

6. What is your intended use for this phone (internet, camera, multimedia, mails etc.)?
A: Camera & WhatsApp

7. Single SIM/ Dual SIM?

8. New or Used? Online or Offline?
A: New and have to be from E-Zone(Big Bazzar)

9. Any other requirements?

10. If you have already considered a phone, then please mention the model

Weak SOC (Quad core A7 with Mali 400). Colors are a bit washed out. But 2GB RAM+ 32GB storage. Small 2650mAH battery and no 4G

3GB RAM+32GB storage. More compact, premium looking and 4000mAH battery. Quad core A-53 Mediatek is avg.

@puns - I think the On devices are also online exclusive.
 
Zenfone 2 laser. I got this for my mom and she's quite happy with it. Camera feels a bit below average.
Check if available in B&M stores. If not, then any Samsung one is your best bet.
 
OT: @Switch OP do you play Dota 2? If yes were you online in the game on saturday in the evening? If No, ignore. I chatted with someone under the same name and the way you type messages looked similar.
