Budget 20-25K New phone with metal body

[thedeadghost]

Hi guys, Need to buy a phone for wife..she is insisting it should have metal body like the m8. Please suggest possible models. Also looking for fast processor since kid would be playing games on it.
I think the iPhone 6 is too costly to go for due to its recent launch.. what do u suggest.

I think the M8 is your only real option if you want an all metal body but that's beyond your stated budget. The closest you can get is a new Moto X at 30k. Only the sides are made of metal, but the build quality is excellent.

I think I will go for M8 ..what bout the xperia Z3 and the galaxy alpha..
I am a little concerned with the m8 camera

If you can afford then nothing like Z3. Go ahead.

Lenovo K920 is also a good option. If somehow you can still get your hands on Lenovo K900 then it should be available for around 20k. Both are stellar phones.

But lenovo K900 is considered as an unstable phone.

Z3 is pretty good but close to 50k the last time I checked.

I think the new note 4 is really value for money if compared with Sony z3 and Samsung s5 and m8

HTC M8 Eye but the cost will be around 38k

I have access to the Z3 Compact (essentially same phone as the Z3 in a smaller body) and it's fantastic but none of these phones have an all metal body.

Is the z3 slightly better then note 4 performance wise ?? read somewhere on this website

Samsung devices often perform far worse than their hardware is capable of thanks to their insanely heavy Touchwiz skin bogging everything down. The Note 4 might be faster in benchmarks but in day to day usage, the Z3 most likely pulls ahead.

I think Samsung s5 is an over all winner when compared with z3 m8 and note 4

The only thing that's possibly better is the camera and maybe the screen. Everything else is worse.

Only Camera.
Screen and touchwiz are power hungry.
