I have used Samsung galaxy Y, and yes, iam am impressed with the UI (esp the touch response). I have no Special bias-ness toward ICS (though I have never used it earlier, so no idea). But given the other harware specs b/w the branded and local made phones (>1 Ghz and dual core processors, along with 4" screen with 480x800 resolution, which claims to a higher PPI, and 512MB RAM ) highly attracts me toward the Krbn and MMX brands. Can u please tell, why you are favouring MMX to karbonn?? Do u have Any bad experience with Karbonn?? I too like the MMX A110 superfone, but I think 5" phone is too much impractical to handle, especially, having it on Jeans pocket, and riding bikes!! If I see the branded ones, then Tipo is what i will go with... But then comming To Processors.. see the Processor of Xperia Tipo, and Karbonn A11 is the same i.e Qualcomm MSM7225A 800Mhz(tipo); Qualcomm MSM7225A 1Ghz (A11), and both having Adreno 200 (enchanced) GPU. While KArbonn A9+ has Qualcomm MSM8225 1.2Ghz Dual Core processor, with Adreno 203 GPU. Ya, MMXA110 has a MediaTek MT6577 1Ghz dual core processor.. SO, why not Karbonn A11/ A9+ over Tipo?? Saying all theese, I too have my Apprehensions against these cheap smart phones, and IF I am investing 10K, I will think a 100 times. If I am Still undecisive, then i will go with ninja 4.0, for 5500/- and then will root the phone. It has all the good hardware, Except just 256 MB RAM, out of which there is free user available RAM after all the goof-ups of only 20-30MB.. In that case, I will have toroot the phone to increase the RAM.... Still, I will like to hear some more opinins, ad suggestions..

Im bias towards mm only because i have experience of using it. I still have a spare Micromax Q3 (3 years old) and never had any prob with it. still works perfectly. Even the charger and headphones are stock.

I have no experience with Karbonn.

I again say...a 1 Ghz processor in a MM/Karbonn does not mean it will give a proportionately higher level of performance than a Samsung 800Mhz processor.

and yes, a 5" cellphone is difficult to handle while riding bikes.

which is the best phone i can have if my budget is around 10k?? my main priority is a good camera..OS preferred is android though even other OS will do..

Re: Mobile Phones

Bad timing mate, I bought my live with walkman for 10k from eBay.
But now prices had gone up.
1ghz processor is nice but with only 512mb ram my phone was slow switching apps, now rooted and removed all unnecessary apps. Phone is super smooth now.
Now, micromax is vfm but what about built quality?
I have no personal experience with that model but I believe every part will be cheap. Eg: camera quality, sound quality, touch screen, and the whole experience can be bad. But if you go with brands like Samsung, you can't go wrong on these. Also see those low price big tabs in market, all those are having low quality Chinese hardware, I believe these Indian manufacturers use those type parts.
It's a tough choice, but I'll say put some more money and get a better brand phone.

Get the Micromax Canvas 2 A110. Its totally worth it.In fact , I am trying to get one myself.

within 10 k rs i find spice stellar to be vfm,the only downer is the music quality.
stretch your budget a bit and you have htc wildfire s.

1st, steller costs 11800/- min online.. So goes out of budget..
2nd, u can get a mm A110 canvas with better specs, at lower price..

@Nishant - I too like A110 but being 5", it will really be problematic to carry around, especially on bikes..

@Other - It seems like 90% of the friends are suggesting against un-branded phones.
So, with further research, i came up with another branded phone with good enough specs, but at slightly higher price -

I have recently bought a LG Optimus Net @8700 and im loving it. I have had good experiences with LG service and i also liked the build quality which does not give up due to my rough usage. Have not had any major problem with the phone. Just download GO Launcher from android market and enjoy the phone

1st pref: Samsung Galaxy Y
2nd pref: HTC Wildfire S (If u can stretch you budget by 400-500)
3rd pref: Micromax Canvas 2

Budget can be stretched.. But ehat's good In Wildfire S???
Low resolution screen, just 600mhz processor, just 512 MB internal memory, and 1230 mAH battery!!

The 600mhz ARM II processor with a 512 MB ram packs a lot of punch than you expect buddy! The 1230mAh battery is good enough for such a phone.
But in any case I think you are definitely more inclined towards the MM A110. So go for it!

@shibadib: what about htc chacha?

On the contrary, with all the suggestion from here, as well as from other forum, seems to be to Avoid these local brands for spending good bucks..

For this, the search is still going on, and it is making me all the More confused!!
Now more of concentrating on Samsung ace Duos for 10999/-, and Another good phone that came up in 13000/- - Xperia U.
It is quite stylish, and performance oriented but the main demerit is there is no Expandable SD card slot, and thus only restricted In-built memory of 8GB; out of which, the user accessible is 4GB

Can u suggest whether this 4 GB will suffice??
ChaCha is for the Chachis!! (pun intended)
It's a QWERTY phone, and i am not a continious Msging type guy!! Want a Full touch screen phone..

@Rahul and @Myth...
I know u two had been suggesting me not to go to MMX ninja, and found a nice article explaining "Y"

I was never against it...just it was lower on the priority order. Remember I told you that I too have a MM Q3 and it still runs strong.
Nevertheless, now you can go for Ninja without a second thought
