I bought the L435 as a secondary phone to my 925 as well as for running the TP for W10, when that comes.
Great battery life and tough build means I don't need to pamper it with a case. Love the chunky form factor. Performance is adequate with some stutter only experienced while closing apps and exiting to home screen. Not a deal breaker though. What's really bad is that fixed focus 2mp sensor. Coming from the L925, this one is really useless with photography, even in broad daylight.
So if clicking even half decent pictures is what you want, avoid the L435 at all costs. Look at the Lumia 532 which costs INR 500/- more at 6.5k, but has a quad core 1.2 CPU and 5mp camera built into the same phone as the 435.
Better options cost more, like the Lumia 630 or the 4G variant 638. 535 is your best bet, if you are willing to spend 8-9k.
