i beg to differ, as s3 is crappier and crappier on repeat use for me. If i compare it to my note2 then i can safely say that s3 is a laggy piece of shit. But for the money, it is the best deal right now.Used Galaxy S3 can be bought in/under 40k these days easily. I consider S3 to be the only leading phone in the market right now. So in my opinion, if one needs to spend that much money, he should spend it wisely and get a better product i.e. S3.
Strictly in 35k range, there aren't many good choices. One X and Galaxy Nexus seem to be quite good contenders.
