Awesome Camera
No dual sim
Good Battery life
no lag OS
LOW LIGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
Budget - 15-17k

Apart from 1 thing i.e preferred OS as android best phone is NOKIA 720.

Is the Lumia really worth all the hype ? - [I lost faith with Nokia quite some time ago]

Is the 512MB RAM sufficient in todays world ?

Can temp files be easily cleared from the internal storage ?
