This is a good review. I would like to add something. As far as I heard, Samsung Galaxy Duos would be released for around Rs. 9600/- to Rs. 9800/-. LG Optimus Net Dual is Rs. 10500/-. But, I would say, go for LG. I have observed quite a few users of Samsung and LG mobiles. I felt that LG was a better performer, when comparing phones from these 2 brands with similar specifications.
Thank you! I am not sure of the price of Samsung Galaxy Y Duos.You know LG and Samsung are two real competitors. LG may be little bit frightened with the performance of LG Optimus Dual.
