Lets have a look at deserving candidates ...
# Samsung Galaxy S II
# Motorola Razr
# Samsung Galaxy Note
# (Upcoming) Samsung Galaxy Nexus
# Apple iPhone 4S
# HTC Sensation XE
All the above phones are available in the market for more or less 30k INR except iPhone 4S which ridiculously starts at 44k INR...
Galaxy Nexus is not launched yet here in India, but it would cost around 30k initially, unless Samsung decides to go Apple way which is highly unlikely...
Lets sum up the important points about each phone:
Galaxy S II : Superb SAMOLED+ Display, Huge Developer support at XDA, Powerful Exynos Chipset. But build quality is bit plasticky and may not appeal to all. Screen resolution is standard 480x800 while others have qHD or 720p resolution.
Motorola Razr: Fantastic Build quality, Crisp display and Design. OMAP 4430 chipset is in its midlife and its GPU PowerVR SGX540 is the same as of Galaxy S... All in all chipsetwise it falls short to S II's Exynos...
Galaxy Note: For those who are blessed with Large Palms. Its gorgeous 5.3" SAMOLD display at 800x1280 will appeal to you. Once you own this devide, you wont be able to go to lower screen size phones again. Its powerful Exynos chipset will take care of your demanding tasks.
Galaxy Nexus: 3rd Vanilla Google Experience phone, with its 720p HD Display and Ice Cream Sandwich Android version, you'll not go wrong with this handset. Its powered by descent OMAP 4460 chipset, which does the job well. But camera is just 5MP, so if your looking for good cameraphone, steer clear...
Apple iPhone 4S: Ridiculously Priced in India... 44k for 16GB version and goes upto 60k for 64GB version. If you are ok with closed apple ecosystem, android feels too geeky to you and if you've got a lot of moolah then go for this. Good thing about it is its superb camera and easy to use interface...
HTC Sensation XE: This Qualcomm Dual Core beast offers good performance close to Exynos. Its bundled with good pair of headphones and HTC marketed it as musicphone. Camera is OKish and Screen is descent especially all other phones pack SAMOLED or Retina Display. Battery backup is poor...Get it only if you are a HTC Fan...
Summing it up, If I were you to buy a phone in the range of 30k my choices would be ... (In that order)
- Salsung Galaxy Note (I'm Comfortable with its size :) )
- Samsung Galaxy Nexus
- Samsung Galaxy S II
- Motorola Razr
- Apple iPhone 4S
- HTC Sensation XE
Few phones which were not included in this list for the reasons:
Nokia Lumia 800 : Although its descent package, but 25k price for windows phone having old gen chipset is little too much.
SonyEricsson Arc S: Single core chipset, overpriced.
LG Optimus 3D / HTC Evo 3D: Poor Battery Life and 3D is just a gimmick ...
If I have missed any phone, let me know :) ...
