I have a sub 15K budget( max 16k)

Have shortlisted the following 2 phones -

1. Google Nexus One- 13-13.5K (from US) including customs/shipping

2. Motorola Defy - 16K letsbuy.com

Need

1. Decent processor/gpu - should play atleast SD videos properly without conversion(avi/mkv/mp4). currently own zte blade which lags .

2. 3.5" or bigger screen

3. Decent cam(with led).

4. Decent music capabilities/speaker.



Nexus one has a 1 ghz processor while defy seems to have only a 800 mhz processor .Also Defy is a little over my budget ?

Any pros of Defy over Nexus one (except no warranty with nexus one) ? Or any other phone which u guys can suggest in the price range

Thanks :)

Nexus One

1GHz Cortex A8

Adreno 200

Moto Defy

800MHz Cortex A8

PowerVR SGX 530

ZTE Blade

600MHz ARM v11

Adreno 200

I think Moto Defy would be a good option, but have a look at the Spice Mi410 too, much more powerful specs at the same price, bigger screen as well.

From gsmArena review

Codec support is limited – DivX wouldn’t work, just XviD. And then only up to WQVGA resolution (400x240). Higher-res videos seem to need more processing power than the DEFY can offer.

only 400 x 240 :O hence was a lot confused
