Are you ladies looking for a good smartphone to invest in this year? But visiting review sites gets us all lost in details like quadcore processors, kitkat, jellybean, snapdragon and so on. Here’s a simple breakdown of seven amazing smartphones under Rs 20,000 with functional uses that we can relate to.
1.HTC Desire 820Q Dual SIM (Rs.20,800): This is a cheaper version of the earlier HTC Desire smartphone equipped with a powerful 13 MP camera. Even better, it has a 5 MP secondary camera with face detection for those awesome selfies. With a 3100 mAh battery, you don’t need to carry around those heavy power packs.
2.Moto G (Rs.10,999) : Although it’s more than a year old, the Moto G is still going strong and a sound investment because of the amazing stereophonic sound that comes from this Android phone. A 10MP camera ensures decent pictures although the 2 MP secondary camera could be worked on a bit more. But best of all, it comes in 20 colours, including Black and White. Awesome, right?
3.Apple iPhone 4s (Rs.19,990): Though it sounds quite dated, the iPhone 4S 8 GB version is the only option for you, if you’re an ardent Apple fan. At Rs 19,990, this is the most affordable among Apple phones and it won’t give you a heart attack each time you misplace it. It’s got a scratch resistant panel and an 8 MP camera that is adequate for your needs. It’s not the most feature-packed phone in this segment, but if you are looking for brand Apple on a limited budget, there you go.
4.Lenovo Vibe X2 (Rs.17,999): Released in September last year, here’s why you should buy this phone. At 120g, it weighs less than most smartphones and can be operated with one hand. The camera is decent at 13 MP, and with a 5 MP secondary camera, your selfies will not be bad. It’s powered by Android 4.4 or Kitkat with four lovely colour options of white, gold, red and charcoal. The only drawback is the absence of a card slot for additional memory, but who needs it if the phone already has a 32 GB internal memory?
5.Sony Xperia C3 ( Rs.15,990):The Sony Xperia C3 is touted as a PROselfie smartphone with a 5MP front camera that comes with a 25 mm wide angle lens. It’s one of the few to offer a LED flash on the front camera, taking selfie photography to the next level. This is also one of the few dual sim phones with a dual call support. Apart from the usual black and white, it also comes in a lovely pale mint colour. The only drawback is that with a weight of 140g, it is literally a phablet (phone cum tablet)
6. Xiaomi Mi 4 (Rs.11,426): This iPhone look-alike smartphone packs enough hardware power to get you going. A 3 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, 13 MP rear and 8 MP front camera suits the purpose. However, it lacks a micro SD card and 4G-LTE connectivity.
7. ASUS ZenFone 6 (Rs.9,848): The ASUS ZenFone 6 is one of the best mid-budget phones in India. Although inexpensive, the design looks classic and the phone camera actually has more options than a regular point and shoot. The expansive storage design means you can just keep on clicking pictures and videos without having to worry about your memory getting full. The 3000 mAh battery will keep you going for more than a day!
