That was neither short nor sweet -_-

I checked out the specs.. That display is so 2011. You can get much better phones in this range.

winchester khan · May 24, 2014

This can be the worst smartphone for its price , lg optimus G,Xperia C,moto G,Used S3 , Xperia L,M,Lumia 820,One X all can be found in this price .

ads496 · May 24, 2014

The display is seriously sucky on this. I would recommend that you get another phone in the range. Get a used nexus 4 in the price range.

I don't prefer used products (especially mobiles). My range is Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 25,000, please suggest me a good smartphone in this range and provide a link to the online Pakistani store so I can directly order it from there or to simply overview the specifications and all.

Moto G is what I'd recommend. It's a Google-ish phone so you'll get updates quickly.

Here is the dual sim version. The single sim is only a few hundred rupees cheaper.

I like this mobile's shape and the specifications are fine for me. What exactly is the disadvantage of this mobile?

This mobile looks good but I kinda became brand conscious after experiencing a shitty smartphone of a Chinese company, so I'll go for Samsung for now as the prices are affordable and good in general. You're not recommending me Samsung Galaxy Grand Neo for its shape, right?

Moto g has a mediocre camera, apart from that I see no issue with the device , but if u can get a hold of xperia sp within 24k it would be better , otherwise moto g is a really great smartphone for everyday usage

Samsung galaxy grand neo has bad camera, bad quality design,slow processor , below average screen , average battery life, etc etc etc . keeping it short at the price you can get way better products than samsung galaxy grand neo.

Umm Motorola is a US manufacturer :/ Their phones are top quality. This phone was made while the company was owned by Google.

People aren't recommending you the phone generally because of the horrible display. Its a 5 inch phone with a wvga resolution which would give a horrible pixel density in other words a display that will looked washed up.

A little advice for the OP.
If you're planning to buy Samsung then only go for Galaxy S series or Galaxy Note series. If you can't afford them then don't think of Samsung and look for alternatives

Yes they are good phones for their price. But I suggest you to increase a little budget and go for Moto G.
