[NBA] Android 13k

[hg1217]

So I have decided to not spend alot on a cellphone and get something a bit basic.
Now my main requirements are something with a decent camera, preferably a flash too. Something not too old and should have an Armv7 or similar newer processor.
Gaming is not my top priority however i would like it if the phone could run angry birds, temple run etc. smoothly. Also not expecting high resolution phones so anything around 320x480 is fine.

So i was thinking the Htc explorer but the 3.2 camera is a turnoff :/ , The htc chacha also seems nice as it has a nice qwerty keypad and a front cam and also a 5mp camera with a flash however it doesn't support skype video calls cause of the armv6 processor under it's hood. So are there any Samsung galaxy variants that are any good around this price range or perhaps some Sony Ericsson phones.

if looking for new .. explorer is the only option you have so far.. wildfire has also GOOD camera ,but processor is ARMv6.. so its not worth buying...
by the way you also can check xperia mini... its good phone .. and mini pro is bit expensive and has QWERTY keyboard....

Yup, agreed with EmSpecial. Xperia Mini and Explorer are the way to go. Actually wait no. Explorer is good but 600MHz won't run temple run smoothly. Xperia Mini's 1GHz will definitely do the job. I don't think Xperia Mini will be available in 13k though. Anyway check the local market for more info.

Xperia mini is available for 12.5k and mini pro in 14.5k in Hafeez Cneter Lahore. If you want video calls in Skype then go for mini pro. Otherwise if you can live without video calls and budget is really strict then mini is amazing value for 12.5k.

It's not just the qwerty. Mini pro also has front facing camera which mini doesn't have. And mini used to have heating problems while mini pro did not face any such problems (or at least not up to that extent)

If I were you I'd go with Xperia Mini Pro

^but isn't the screen resolution and screen size of it to small ? , also has anyone used the htc chacha. I am thinking of buying that in used or perhaps new. How is the gaming performance of it and is the screen size okay for some basic 2d games ?

also what if i increase my budget to 20k what sort of phones could i be able to buy ? and would they be worth the extra cash.
How would a galaxy s1 used cost ?

I also see that there are 2 mini pro's would anyone be kind enough to tell me the difference between the 2 ?
