My father is still using Nokia E-series phone since long time now and I have decided to gift him a good descent phone on his birthday which is coming in a weeks time.

Please suggest a phone according to my budget with the best possible features in that range. :)

** Dad has never used touchscreen phones but I don’t mind gifting him one. If there are good options in Qwerty as well then I dont mind going for it as he is using qwerty since past 6 years.

1. Budget?
A: 7k max

2. Preferred Form Factor (flip, bar, slider)?
A: Any

3. Preferred display type?
A: Any (with max resolution, colors, clarity possible)

4. Do you have any brand preference or dislike? Please name them.
A: Sony, Nokia, Samsung (Want to stay away from Micromax, karbonn etc. brands)

5. Preferred input method (Touchscreen, QWERTY, etc.)?
A: QWERTY or Touchscreen

6. Camera required or not? If required, please specify type like front camera/flash/etc.
A: 5 - 8MP with flash/dual flash (capture descent photos at least in daylight if not at night)

7. Preferred operating system? (Android, Symbian, iOS, Windows Phone etc).
A: Android or Windows

8. Preferred connectivity options? (3G, Wifi, Edge etc).
A: Wi-Fi and Edge, 3G not important but good to have

9. What is your intended use for this phone(internet, camera, multimedia, mails, etc)?
A: Calls, Sms, Camera

10. Any other requirements?
A: Best battery life with max mAh capacity (at least 2 days on a single charge), Max internal memory, Max capacity microSD support, Max ram/rom possible

11. If you have already considered a phone then please mention the model.
A: As of yet no such consideration

So suggest as per the format and requirements and suggest within 3-4 days as I may buy it online or through retail shops. :)

If it has to be his first touchscreen, i would go the EMI route, and get Asus Zenphone 5, or Moto G with discount.
Then there is the Nokia 525/520 as well for considerations.

I wouldnt really suggest the Moto E/Asus ZenPhone 4 etc, but if the budget is really non flexible.. Then these maybe are your best bets.

I have finalized Nokia lumia 630 or may go for lumia 525. As yesterday I went to Croma and got both compared side by sides.
Now shall I buy from Croma or Themobilestore or better online from FK etc???

Also, I dont understand why the quality of Samsung and Sony looks degraded when compared on GSMArena-
