Android has been flooding the smartphone market in various categories, from low range to super phones, to dozens of manufacturers, from Spice to Samsung. We're bringing you the best phones available, in a limited budget. Check them out!
HTC Google Nexus One
Before we get into any other phone, I'd like to talk about the Google Nexus One. Even though the device hasn't been officially been launched in India, many stores are selling at around Rs 15,000. The Nexus One is probably the best deal in the budget.
Powered by a 1Ghz processor, running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread (an update is available), the Nexus One has lots of potential.
Spice Mi-410
Spice's latest smartphone, the Mi-410, runs on Android 2.2 Froyo, powered by a 1Ghz processor. The Mi410 boasts a 4.1-inch capacitive touchscreen, and has a 5mp rear camera with 720p HD video recording, flash, and also has a front facing VGA camera for video calling.
The device would cost you Rs 14,000, and is an amazing deal at such a low price.
Samsung Galaxy Ace
Samsung Galaxy Ace is a stylish looking Android 2.2 Froyo smartphone, powered by an 800Mhz processor. With a screen of size 3.5-inches, and a 5mp camera with a flash, the device seems promising, and worth the money. The Galaxy Ace would cost you Rs 14,000.
Samsung has also promised Android 2.3 Gingerbread update for the Galaxy Ace soon, making it a powerful competitor in the mid-range segment.
HTC Wildfire S
The HTC Wildfire S, a successor to the hugely popular Wildfire is a decent phone, with some great looks, and amazing build quality. The device is running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and is powered by a 600Mhz processor. With a 3.2" screen, the device really stands out of the rest, as the screen is of very high resolution.
At the back, the Wildfire S has a 5mp camera with an LED Flash. The HTC Wildfire S will cost you Rs 13,500.
Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i
The Sony Ericsson Mini Pro runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and is powered by a 1Ghz processor. With a 3.0" screen, you wight not get the best browsing experience, but it still is pretty decent. The Mini Pro has a slide out QWERTY keyboard, for heavy texters and the social soul in you.
With a 5mp rear camera with LED Flash, and 720p HD recording capabilities, the Sony Ericsson Mini Pro is a great deal at Rs 15,399.
Motorola Defy
The Motorola Defy, know for it's tough build, is a dust, sand, and water proof device. Running Android 2.2 FroYo, the Defy is powered by an 800Mhz processor. It has a 3.7" capacitive screen, which is of a great resolution (480x854), and has a 5mp Auto-Focus camera with an LED flash.
The Motorola Defy is a pretty thick device, provided it has a solid build. The Defy would cost you Rs 15,000.
LG Optimus One P500
The LG Optimus One P500, is a great phone for its price. Running on Android 2.2 Froyo, and a Gingerbread update promised by LG, the phone is powered by a 600Mhz processor. Boasting a 600Mhz processor, the Optimus One has a 3.2mp camera without LED Flash. The LG Optimus One P500 should cost you about Rs 10,000.
I have used and tested the Optimus One P500 earlier, and believe me, it's pretty fast, and doesn't lag at all.
Dell XCD35
The Dell XCD35, running on Android 2.2 Froyo, is powered by a 600Mhz processor. There are some ROMS for the Dell XCD35 to upgrade it unofficially to Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Boasting a 3.5" capacitive touchscreen, with a better resolution (480x800) than that of the Optimus One, it has a 3.15mp camera without LED Flash.
The Dell XCD35 should cost you around Rs 10,000 in the market.
Samsung Galaxy Pop
The Samsung Galaxy Pop, believed to be one of the best options in the sub 10k range, is powered by Android 2.2 Froyo, and Samsung has promised the 2.3 Gingerbread update soon. It is powered by a 600Mhz processor, and boasts a 3.14" capacitive touchscreen.
The screen though, is a 256K colours one, which pixelates some graphics, and doesn't allow you to play HD games on it. The phone also has a 3mp camera without LED flash and is priced at Rs 8,250.
Micromax A70
The Micromax A70, a successor to the Andro A60, is a decent budget phone. It looks very similar to the HTC Google Nexus One, runs on Android 2.2 FroYo, and is powered by a 600Mhz processor. It has a 3.2" capacitive touchscreen, with 256K colours. More interestingly, it has a 5mp rear camera, and a VGA secondary camera for video calling, a first in this range.
The A70 is priced at Rs 7,600.
