These days, there is hardly any person who does not own a phone; so much so, that everything is dependent on the phones now. Technology has touched new heights. From clicking pictures to sending mails, to even accessing social networking sites, there is nothing which cannot be done on a mobile phone. In fact, they have become way of life for most of the people around. When smartphones initially hit the market they were really expensive but now, anyone can easily buy a relatively decent handset within INR 10,000.
Over the past few months, there has been an aggressive array of below INR 10,000 devices in the market. There are so many different brands available in the market such as Samsung, Nokia, Sony, Micromax, HTC etc. Smartphone prices vary as per the brand as well as the features which are offered by the product. At the end of the day, it all depends on the need as well as budget of the user as to what kind of phone he or she is keen to buy. It is no longer a perception that only wealthy people can have access to their favorite devices. Now, even a common man can buy phones at a reasonable price bracket.
Mentioned below, is list of five affordable smartphones available in the market:
1. Karbonn Titanium S1
This sleek smartphone is priced at around INR 7,990. It has some truly outstanding features. To begin with; its 4.5 inch display screen is its biggest draw. It has 1.2GHz quad core processor and 1GB RAM. Not only does this handset look nice but it also offers very good battery backup for the user. The touchscreen QWERTY keyboard makes use of this device relatively easy. The rear of the phone is made of plastic and easily get fingerprint marks.
2. Micromax Canvas Music A88
Micromax offers a prolific handset at an affordable price. Its Canvas range has actually became a rage in the market. It is giving stiff competition to top-end brands such as Xperia or Galaxy. This device costs even less than INR 9,000. Canvas Music A88 offers free JBL headset. Other than that, it is a simple gadget running on a 1GHz dual-core processor. The display panel of the phone is not too big. The highly aggressive price feature is what sets this phone apart from the rest.
3. Sony Xperia E Dual
Again, this is a very good handset available under the affordable smartphone price category. This phone comes under the ambit of the Sony’s Xperia Lineup. This dual SIM device offers the user, several advantages. Initially, it was launched at a price of INR 11,490 but now you can easily get it in the market under the INR 10,000 tag. The current price tag of this wonderful device is INR 9,799. Its outstanding build-quality, solid design and dual-SIM support make this device a much laudable offering. Nevertheless, the single-core processor is by no means, an attractive facet, in the world of dual-core OS. The size of the display screen is only 3.5-inch at a meager resolution of 320 x 480. This is the main reason why Sony was able to keep its price so low. The recognizable brand name is its USP.
4. Nokia Lumia 520
This is one of the most affordable gadgets from Nokia. Lumia 520 is without any doubt, a confirmed winner. The Windows phone operating system makes sure that regardless of the unpretentious hardware, the phone experiences hardly any kind of performance lag. It has one of the best camera features offered by Nokia. It is available at a comfortable price of INR 9,899, thus making it a very attractive buy for any mobile user. In case a buyer is too finicky about specifications, then he must stick to Android technology; for those who easily adapt to new and unfamiliar products, Nokia Lumia 520 is the ideal buy.
5. Samsung Galaxy Ace
The 3.5 inch screen of Samsung Galaxy Ace has 320 x 480 pixel resolution. It even has a 5 megapixel camera equipped with LED flash at the rear. Internal storage capacity is 158MB. This can be expanded to 32GB.The device has no Flash support and because of this, you cannot watch any videos online. The product can be bought at an attractive price of approximately INR 8,000. This price tag is a definite deal clincher.
