Didnt get any reply on this forum surprisingly but decided for asus zenfone 5 or 6 I get more than what I want in these phones.

I think you should wait for HTC Desire 616.. Soon its going to get launch in India.. Expected price 16k - 17k

Looks pretty impressive, Even I am waiting for this cell phone

I also have same requirements and I shortlisted Lenovo P780.

If you are considering Karbonn or Micromax and check Xiaomi MI3 which will be launched tomorrow with a price of 15k. It defeats all phones till range 25-30k.

U can also check the xolo Q3000... I am currently using it and its running quite smoothly..
2GB ram and 5.2 inch screen and 4000mAh battery is the highlighter of the xolo phone..

Saw its launch on youtube live, didn't like it much, spec are good but being a new entrant cant trust with my money as I use phones upto3-5yrs hence need good service support. They will have to prove that they can withstand the Indian market. Moreover I need to feel the phone in my hand before I buy I am waiting asus dealer having these phone on display then will take a decision either for z6 or z5.
