Nokia X2-02 Price: Rs. 3,500
The Nokia X2-02 is a budget handset that offers some really cool features, while omitting things like 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. The focus is, of course, on its music capabilities, what with the ability to wirelessly connect to stereo speakers and home theatre systems via radio transmissions. And the Easy Swap dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) feature has been improved to let you manage up to five different SIM cards with custom profiles for each. 20.Jan.2012

Samsung Wave Y Price: Rs. 7,199
Much like the Galaxy Y, the Samsung Wave ‘Y’ stands for young, and the handset is priced accordingly, while trying to cram in as many features as possible. The features are quite decent, but when an Android phone offers the same features at the same price, it becomes impossible to recommend the Bada-running Wave over it. 05.Jan.2012

Nokia 603 Price: Rs. 14,300
Given Nokia’s new partnership with Microsoft to launch Windows Phone handsets and the strong foothold Android has in the mid-range smartphone market, it’s difficult to recommend the Nokia 603. Let’s put it like this: if you are a Nokia loyalist and are specifically looking for something under Rs. 15,000, the new Nokia 603 is your best option. 02.Jan.2012

Samsung Wave M S7250 Price: Rs. 12,500
The Samsung Wave M is the latest handset to come with the proprietary Bada operating system, but has a tough struggle against competitors like the LG Optimus Hub and the Samsung Galaxy Ace, which offer similar features for similar prices such as 3.65-inch touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera and 800 MHz processor. 17.Dec.2011

LG Optimus Sol Price: Rs. 16,999
The LG Optimus Sol is the first handset to come with the new ‘Ultra AMOLED’ technology in its 3.8-inch touchscreen, which promises better visibility and sharper quality. Powered by a 1GHz processor and equipped with a 5-megapixel camera, this Android v2.3 Gingerbread handset seems like a pretty decent bargain, although the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V might just win a race between the two. 17.Dec.2011

LG Optimus Net P698 Dual-SIM Price: Rs. 10,699
It seems that dual-SIM Android phones are the need of the hour. After Micromax launched the A75 Superfone Lite, it’s now LG’s turn to step into the game with a dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) variant of the Optimus Net. Along with the latest Google Android v2.3 Gingerbread OS, you get a pretty decent 800MHz processor and a 3-megapixel camera with full 3G connectivity. 16.Dec.2011

LG Optimus Hub Price:
If imitation is the greatest form of flattery, Samsung and LG seem to be caught in the mutual admiration society, routinely coming out with products that are extremely similar in terms of what they offer. The LG Optimus Hub goes head-to-head with the Samsung Galaxy Ace and ties on almost every account. So if you prefer the look and feel of an LG phone, go for the Optimus Hub. If Samsung is your brand of choice, go for the Galaxy Ace. It’s as simple as that in a shootout between these two credible handsets. 16.Dec.2011

Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman Price: Rs. 14,550
Sony seems to be quite intent on marking an identity for itself in the crowded mid-range Android segment by leveraging on its popular Walkman brand. The Live With Walkman offers almost everything you would get in an Android handset of a similar price – in fact, it’s almost identical to the Xperia Mini – but sweetens the deal with the proprietary Walkman player and earphones. Is that enough to warrant a higher price-tag though? We doubt it… 16.Dec.2011

Micromax A75 Superfone Lite Price: Rs. 8,990
The new Micromax A75 Superfone Lite finally brings dual-SIM (GSM+GSM) functionality to low-end Android phones without compromising on too many things. What you get in the bargain is a 3.75-inch touchscreen, the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread, 650MHz processor, a 3-megapixel camera and 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity. For a price of Rs. 8,990, that’s not a bad deal at all. 16.Dec.2011

Samsung Wave 3 S8600 Price: Rs. 19,600
The Samsung Wave just keeps getting bigger and better. The flagship handset for Bada OS comes with a better processor, a bigger screen and the latest version of the proprietary OS. Yet, the price somehow still remains low, beating some competing Android handsets. Now if only the OS had an app market that was as strong... 01.Dec.2011
