Get S4 or LG G2, as both will work with Reliance sim card after few tweaks with Evdo...
S5 is not yet released but if you still want to buy it after release it will costly as hell and no-one know if it will work with reliance sim card out of box...

So your best choice is LG g2 right now...

S5 when launched will be very expensive probably in the range of around 50k
LG G2 has facility for LTE so will be future proof
I just bought unlocked Sprint LG G2 from an ebay seller for Reliance CDMA Network. A GSM SIM can also be used with it.
Used the Ebay Coupon EBAYBASH12 for a 10% discount.
You just need to buy a blank Reliance Micro SIM card and go to WebWorld and fill in Retain SIM form. Within an hour or more dial dial *228 and your mobile is activated.
For 3G data send SMS to 55444 for postpaid and 55333 for prepaid.

^ Exactly. Please make sure you understand what bands a particular phone supports and what bands your cellular operator(s) work on, before you buy the device.
In case of Sprint G2, UTMS is only on 2100, and LTE Bands are 25/26/41

This is the device under discussion http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-LS980-g2/technical-specifications

According to this article Reliance LTE will deploy on 2300 and 1800 . So Sprint LG G2 LS980 does not support it. Thanks to JMP for pointing that out
http://articles.economictimes.india...o-infocomm-viom-networks-tower-infrastructure LTE band
http://dslindia.com/reliance-jio-airtel-4g-network-using-fdd-lte1800-td-lte2300mhz/

So look for a G2 variant that supports Indian LTE band.

There are a few hidden menu features that can open up other LTE bands but I have yet to explore and will post results later if successful

Current hot phone is definately Sprint LG G2 LS980. Makes more sense to go for it.
Also US play store Nexus 5 can also be flashed to work with RCDMA, Indian version doesnt allow this though. Just a headsup.

I don't think so.... India uses LTE bands 1800 and 2300. RCOM site does not say LTE under those bands. It says WCDMA for those bands.
Not sure though.... check thoroughly before you buy.

This is the LG G2 variant launching for Indian Market LTE. Priced quite high compared to already available G2 in the market. Doesnt mention the specs. Its release coincided with Reliance Stores. Can it be a printing mistake on the stores ? I wonder...
