We at MySmartPrice have analyzed top 15 mobile phones for each month in 2012 from our user data (based on 20 million users who visited our mobiles category) to figure out the key trends of past year. To know more details about those top 15 mobile phones, you can refer this spreadsheet.

Key Numbers

Resized-W2S19

Key Trend #1 - Samsung most sought after brand, Micromax gaining popularity with the new Android releases

With most hit models of the year, Samsung gained #1 spot as it ate away everyone’s sales while Nokia slipped down. There were popularity spikes for individual flagship product launches from Apple and HTC which later died down but Micromax has been able to generate continuous gain in popularity with models such as A100 (Canvas) and A110 (Canvas 2).

Brand

Key Trend #2 - Mobile phones above INR 10,000 are leading the way

Generally, the popularity of phones priced above the Sub 10K price range saw a boost in their popularity. As the year started, most of the popular phones were under the INR 10,000 as the year ended, most of the popular phones such as Samsung Micromax A110, Galaxy S Duos and Galaxy S3 which are all priced above the 10K price range, saw huge gains.

Price Range

Key Trend #3 – Consumers are opting for larger screen size

There has also been a change in consumer taste with most of them wanting bigger and bigger screens. As the cost of technology is going down, we are seeing phones with larger than 4 inch screen size at cheap price such as Micromax Canvas. The demand for phones with QWERTY keypads and screen size lesser than 3 inches has died down.

Screen Size

Key Trend #4 – Dual-SIM smartphones are most popular

The year 2012 in general, saw the rise of Dual SIM Android smartphones. A a majority of Indian subscribers have prepaid connections and are not tied down to contracts, so they are willing to spend a little extra to buy the dual SIM versions of smartphones. Among almost all the online stores, the Samsung Galaxy S Duos is one of the best selling model.

Top Hits of 2012

The popularity of Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 can’t be missed as Samsung managed to create 2 flagship phones in 2012. Nokia’s most selling phones were from the below 6K price range such as Asha 311 and the Samsung Galaxy Y was the preferred choice of the first-time smartphone buyers.

Hits

Top Misses of 2012

The duds of 2012 were mostly from Nokia, Sony and HTC. The Nokia Lumia series failed due to their high price and had no significant advantage over competitors. Sony missed out on one or other important feature in each of their models which turned off the consumers and pushed them back from buying. The HTC One X was defeated by Samsung Galaxy S3 in its price range and consumers don’t want anything other than the best when they are already spending so much money.

Misses

Predictions For 2013

As we bid a farewell to 2012, the next year can be bring forward some interesting trends.

  1. Nokia might just bounce back with their Windows Phone 8 devices if released in Rs. 10K  - 12K price range.
  2. Lenovo may target Indian brands like Micromax, Karbonn and Celkon with their budget Android devices and may end up being in the top 5 mobile brands.
  3. Tablets to give a stiff competition to budget Android phones as consumers may opt for a combination of cheap feature phone and a tablet with 3G connectivity.
  4. 2013 might just be the year of high-end dual SIM smartphones.

We all know that the next iPhone; iPhone 5 (which will be its most probable name) is going to be unveiled in September. It is being speculated that Apple will unmask the new iPhone in front of the whole world on September 12th. Apple’s stock prices have touched their highest ever ($645) point in the anticipation of iPhone 5 launch. Investors are bullish on the company’s performance as they believe that iPhone 5 will be their best seller ever as well as best smartphone in the market after it launches. But will the iPhone 5 be good enough to defeat the best phones (Samsung Galaxy S3 and HTC One X) in the market today? Let us see what will be the iPhone 5 features and will it be be the best smartphone in the market after it launches.

Bigger 4 Inch Screen

iPhone 5 Will Use In-Cell Touchscreen Technology

It is highly rumoured that iPhone 5 will have a 4 inch screen with ‘in-cell touchscreen technology’. After all, every iPhone model had a 3.5 inch touchscreen but people are increasingly liking and feeling a need for bigger screen. The in-cell touchscreen patent shown above explains that it incorporates the touchscreen sensors inside the individual pixels rather than using a separate layer on top of the screen. This will help in thinning down the screen compared to the normal touchscreen technology. It is being reported that iPhone 5 will be slightly slimmer than the HTC One S. This new screen technology will also help in reducing the glare on the screen as well as increase contrast ratio and improves colours. Also, some experts have found that iOS 6 can support a screen resolution of 1136 x 640 which could be the possible resolution of 4 inch screen on iPhone 5. But will this make it the best screen on the market by defeating the HTC One X’s (currently best screen in the market)? If the use of in-cell technology is true, it could be better than the one on HTC One X because of its ability to reduce reflections and improving colours as well as viewing angles.

Sleeker and Slimmer Design

Apple iPhone 5 Design

Due to iPhone 5’s speculated larger screen, it is obvious that the phone’s size will be a bit longer than the previous versions as well as thinner. It will not feature a non-glass back which is different compared to the previous 2 versions of iPhones. The glass at the back of the iPhone 4 was criticized for being fragile and easily breakable after a fall from some feet above the ground. It will be slimmer than most of its competitors barring the Motorola Droid Razr.

Fastest Processor

Apple iPhone 5 Processor

Apple is known for making using some of the most powerful processors in its devices. The iPhone 5 is said to be incorporated with a modified quad core version of A5x processor. Some are even speculating that Apple will use a modified version of Samsung Exynos 4412 processor which already resides in the Samsung Galaxy S3. Samsung Galaxy S3 has the most powerful processor as of now. So the iPhone 5 can have the guts to defeat the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Similar Storage Capacity To iPhone 4S

Apple iPhone 5 Storage Capacity

The iPhone 4S already comes in flavours of 16/32/64 GB storage capacities. It is being predicted that it will have similar storage capacities to the iPhone 4S but it would be awesome if Apple manages to sneak in a 128 gigabyte version as well, just to be the best in the world.

Zero Shutter Lag Camera

Apple iPhone 5 Camera

One of the best features of the iPhone in last couple of years was its camera performance. But Google has been doing some of the best features following the release of Android 4.0 ICS. Now that Android has the ‘zero shutter lag’ feature, it is feeling hugely missed in the iPhone. It will be better if Apple adds that ‘Zero Shutter Lag’ and also the feature to click pictures while recording the video. It is highly impossible but it would be exceptionally well if Apple adds in real time photo and video effects.

4G LTE Connectivity & NFC Mobile Payments

Apple iPhone 5 Will Feature Worldwide 4G LTE Connectivity

Current iPhone has every connectivity feature except 4G LTE and NFC. We are pretty sure that it will introduce NFC to improve the ‘Passbook’ feature. Also, the Retina iPad already has 4G LTE radios, so it is logical that Apple can carry forward it to the iPhone 5.

Social Networking Friendly iOS 6

iPhone 5 Will Feature Latest iOS 6

We all know that the iPhone 5 will launch with iOS 6 on board, which has been showcased already in the WWDC 2012. So there is nothing which can be surprising at the time of iPhone 5 launch. The iOS 6 features all new Maps with flyover feature, traffic information and turn by turn voice navigation. It also brings more intelligent Siri which now has an ability to recognize more languages as well as launching apps. It has native Facebook integration throughout the iOS with ability to like songs, apps and games in App Store. You can now synchronize contacts and calendar. The improved iCloud now features shared photo streams so that you can share photos with your friends and family. They can comment and like the photos through Facebook. It has Passbook app for mobile payments as well as an ability to have FaceTime calls over 3G network. You can now send calls directly to voicemail, reject calls with message or remind yourself to call people. You can even activate ‘do not disturb’ for a set time so that you do not receive any notifications. It has iCloud tabs for browser tab syncing across devices on iOS 6 and Mac OS X.

Larger Battery for Extended Usage

Apple iPhone 5 Battery Capacity

There has been a nice trend of incorporating large capacity batteries among the Android mobile phone manufacturers as of late. It will help in keeping the phones functional for 2-3 days similar to the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. Also, the battery used in the new Retina iPad is double the capacity compared to the iPad 2. If Apple could repeat the stunt once again, iPhone 5 could have among one among the battery life in all the smartphones.

Conclusion

We wish that most of the predictions written here to come true. A double capacity battery and 128 GB storage option are some features which are probably not coming true but they are always nice to have which will help iPhone 5 become a dream come true smartphone. But even without them, the iPhone 5 as the best smartphone ever because Apple always focuses on the right mix of hardware, software and features. At the time of launch, iPhone 5 price should be similar to the iPhone 4S due to Apple’s pricing strategy.

Samsung galaxy S2 is one of the most popular high end mobiles released by Samsung. The sale of the handset had crossed 10 million units in less than 5 months since its launch, the fastest for any Samsung device. Here we shall look at some of the most important reasons for the popularity of the device, in spite of its seemingly high price tag.

  1. The Galaxy S2 is one of the few handsets available in the market with Dual Core processor. This and the 1 GB RAM allows the handset to run fast and complex games much better almost at the level of PCs. That makes it an awesome phone for hardcore gamers.
  2. The samsung Galaxy S2 is only 8 mm thin, which makes it one of the thinnest handsets available in the market. It is even thinner that the iPhone 4S which was released several months after the release of galaxy S2. Weighing only 116 gm, the Galaxy S2 is exceptionally light as well.
  3. It has  a 4.3″ super AMOLED touch screen.
  4. At 18.3 hours, the phone provides one of the best talk time amongst the high end phones.
  5. considering all the features of the phone, the price tag does not look all that high.

Nokia 3g mobiles below 5000

June 21st, 2011 | Posted by Sulakshan in Mobiles - (0 Comments)

After yesterday’s list about best android phones in India below 10000, today we are back with a list of Nokia 3g mobiles below 5000. There are only two mobiles from Nokia below Rs. 5000 which are 3G compatible. The two mobiles are Nokia 2730 classic and Nokia C2-01.

Nokia 2730 classic

Nokia 2730 Classic: The Nokia 2730 Classic price is Rs. 3,450 and it is the cheapest 3G mobile from Nokia. The phone can support 2G networks along with 3G networks. The phone can be connected to the internet through GPRS, EDGE, Bluetooth and WAP apart from 3G. The Nokia 2730 has Opera Mini browser for surfing the net. It comes pre-installed with windows live messenger as well.

The Nokia 2730 classic has a 2 megapixel camera. While that is not as awesome as the 12 megapixel camera on Nokia N8, considering the Nokia N8 price, i can not complain about it either. The battery of the phone has 3.20 hours talk time on 2G networks and 2.45 hours on 3G network.

Nokia C2-01Nokia C2-01: The Nokia C2-01 is another 3G mobile from Nokia available below 5000. The price of Nokia C2-01 is Rs. 3,850. While pricier than the 2730 it is not that different either. The C2-01 is an enhanced version of Nokia C1-01. It has a 3.2 megapixel camera compared to 2 megapixel camera in case of Nokia 2730. Similar to the 2730, the C2-01 has a 2.0 inch screen.

The Nokia C2-01 has a better talk time compared to the 2730. The optical zoom on both the mobiles are similar to each other. The Nokia C2-01 can be connected to the internet over GPRS, EDGE and Bluetooth apart from 3G connections.

If you can expand your budget a little more then you can look at Nokia 7230 as well. Even though at Rs. 5,500, the 7230 is more expensive than the other two.

The affordability of Android phones is one of the most important reasons for the sharp rise of popularity of Android phones in India. Previously there was only a Micromax Andro A60 in the less than 10000. In the last 6 months a large number of quality android mobiles have been introduced by international brands like Samsung, LG and Motorola. Micromax has introduced the gorgeous Bling 2 in this segment which will definitely attract large number of females onto the Android bandwagon. Spice mobile has made an entry into the Android train with Spice mi-310 mobile. We shall look at the some of the best android phones in India below 10000 available for sale online.

Samsung Android Phones in India below 10000

Update on 8th April, 2012. This list of best android phones contained  Samsung Galaxy 551 price in India and Samsung Galaxy pro price in India earlier. However these two phones are not available in the market anymore. However Samsung has introduced two awesome phones in its Galaxy Y range that are simply the best in this price range.

Samsung Galaxy Y

1. Samsung Galaxy Y: The Samsung Galaxy Y is by far the best entry level android phone introduced in the market till date. It is the most affordable phone in the Galaxy Range. The Galaxy Y has a 3 inch touchscreen. The phone runs on a 832 MHz processor. It sports the 2.3 version of Android Operating System.

The Galaxy Y has a 2.0 megapixel camera that can record videos as well. It has advanced features like smile detection, geo tagging etc. You can edit pictures with the built in image editor. The Galaxy Y has 160 MB internal memory and 2GB external memory, which can be expanded upto 32GB.

The 1200 mAh battery provides 9 hours of talk time on 2G networks and up to 5 hrs of talk time on 3G networks. It supports most of the modern connectivity options like GPRS,EDGE,WAP,Bluetooth and WiFi. The Samsung Galaxy Y Price is Rs. 6,799.

Samsung Galaxy Y Duos2. Samsung Galaxy Y Duos

If you needed a dual sim phone, then buying a quality android phone was out of question. That is because even though many Indian players had introduced dual sim android phones, quality of the handsets left a lot to be desired. All that has changed with the advent of Samsung Galaxy Y Duos. The Samsung Galaxy Y Duos Price is Rs. 8,499. This is the best android phone with dual sim. The Galaxy Y Duos has specification similar to the Galaxy Y but it is a dual sim mobile.

3. Samsung Galaxy Pop: If the above two recommendations made you feel that we may be obsessed with QWERTY mobiles then this one should get rid of it. The galaxy Pop is a full touch android mobile running on Android 2.2. The Pop has a 3.14 inch capacitive touch screen and runs on a 600 Mhz processor. It is a true social media phone and comes loaded with native apps for Facebook, Orkut and twitter. Like the other two phones from the Samsung family, this one has a 3.0 megapixel camera and most modern connectivity options like wi-fi and GPRS. The Samsung Galaxy Pop price is Rs. 7,999.

Motorola Android Phones in India below 10,000:

4. Motorola Charm is the best phone if you are looking for an Android phone from Motorola Below 10000. The Motorola Charm price in India is Rs. 8,499 rupees. We are back to our love story with QWERTY phones with this one :) .

The Charm is a comparatively old phone and hence runs on Android 2.1. Check with the store if they can upgrade it to Android 2.2 or 2.3 though. The Charm has a 2.8 inch screen and runs on a 600 MHz processor. Motorola has introduced its motoblur UI on the charm which enables the phone to bring updates from your facebook or twitter stream onto the homescreen itself. That makes the Motorola Charm one of the best choices for people active on social networks.

The screen of Motorola Charm is made from Gorilla glass which makes it scratch proof. The phone has a 3.0 megapixel camera and it can record videos as well.

LG Optimus OneLG Android Phones in India below 10000

LG has got two awesome android mobiles in the Optimus series. The LG Optimus One price falls below Rs. 10,000 only after applying exclusive MySmartPrice coupons available for Letsbuy and Buytheprice. The full touch screen phone comes with a better quality screen compared to most other mobiles present in this list. The screen of Optimus One is 3.2 inches in size. It runs on a 600 MHz processor and has Android 2.2 installed on it. It has a 3.0 megapixel camera as well.

The other android phone from LG in this range is LG Optimus Me which is available for approximately Rs. 8,000. The Optimus Me has a 2.8 inch capacitive screen and a 3.0 megapixel camera. Like all the other phones here, even Optimus Me runs on Android 2.2. The phone is 3G and Wi-Fi enabled one.

Micromax Bling 27. Micromax Bling 2: The ultimate Android Phone below 10000 for girls

While the Micromax Andro A60 has been the lowest priced android phone in India for quite sometime, the quality of the A60 left a lot to be desired. Now Micromax has come up with a successor to its widely successful Bling model on the Android platform. The Micromax Bling 2 price is Rs. 8,349 and this is perhaps the only mobile that tries to sell itself on the looks alone. With swarovski on the front and end panel, the Bling has been able to attract style conscious girls with its “it twinkels” advertisements. The Bling 2 is a full touch screen phone with a 2.8 inch touch screen and runs on Android 2.2. It has a 3.0 megapixel camera and is capable of connecting to as many as 8 devices through wi-fi hotspot.

Those are our seven recommendations for Android phones below 10,000. You can find a more comprehensive list of android phones in India below 10000. Please let us know in the comments if you think we have missed out any great android phone from this list.

Touch screen mobiles are great for playing games and using apps. Physical keyboards are extremely useful for emails and other tasks involving lots of typing. Touch and type mobiles provide the best of both worlds. In this post we look at four affordable touch and type mobiles from Nokia and Samsung, the two most reliable mobile brands in India.

Samsung Galaxy 551Samsung Galaxy 551: It is one of the best touch and type phones available from Samsung. The Galaxy 551 is a slider mobile that has a QWERTY keyboard and a 3.2 inch capacitive touch screen. The phone has a 3.15 megapixel camera. The 551 has 667 MHz processor and 1200 mAh battery. The mobile has integrated social networking features. The Samsung Galaxy 551 price in India is Rs. 8,899. You can look at our  page about Samsung Touch Screen Price in India.

Motorola Charm

 

 

Motorola Charm: The charm is one of the best touch and type phones available from Motorola. Similar to the Galaxy 551, the charm also runs on Android OS. The Motorola Charm price in India is Rs. 8,499. The touch screen on Motorola Charm is made from Gorilla Glass which is exceptionally scratch resistant. The mobile comes with a 2.8 inch touch screen with 320 x 280 pixels. It comes with a 600 MHz processor.Nokia C6

 

Nokia C6: The Nokia C6 has a 3.2 inch touch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. It has a 5 megapixel camera. The Nokia C6 has a 3.2 inch resistive touch screen with 360 x 640 pixels resolution. The C6 suffers from poor responsiveness. The Nokia C6 price in India is Rs. 11,899.

Samsung Galaxy Pro: The Galaxy Pro has a 2.8 inch touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard. The phone comes with a 3 megapixel camera capable of video recording. Similar to the Nokia C6 it has a resistive touch screen. The Galaxy Pro runs on Android 2.2 and has a 800 MHz processor.

Our list of android phones in India continues to be one of the most important resources for users looking to buy an android mobile. Even larger number of android mobiles are getting added to the list every month. In this post we look at some of the important android mobiles that came to India during May 2011.

LG Optimus 2X: At a price tag close to Rs. 27,000 the Optimus 2X falls right at the top end of android phones available in India. Unsurprisingly the phone boasts of one of the best configuration available in the market. The phone has a 4 inch screen and 8 megapixel camera. With a 1 GHz dual core processor and 512 mb RAM the phone is as powerful as most of the laptops available only 1 year back!! As a matter of fact the Optimus 2X is the first android phone to ship with a dual core processor. The phone actually competes with other Android based tablets like Samsung galaxy Tab and Dell Streak.

HTC Wildfire S: This is one of the android phones below 15000 introduced in May 2011. This mobile has got a 5.0 megapixel camera and runs on Android 2.3. At 3.2 inches the touch screen is smaller compared to the Optimus 2X but considering the price different that should be expected. The Wildfire S has a 600 MHz processor and 512 MB RAM. The screen has a resolution of 320 * 480 pixels. The Wildfire S competes with Samsung Galaxy Ace.

There were two android mobiles introduced in the Android phones below 10000 range. The Spice Mi 270 and Micromax Bling 2. The Bling 2 is a successor to the earlier Micromax Bling and hence it will be a great attraction for women. It comes with a 3 megapixel camera and has got Swarovski Zirconia in the front and back panels. The Spice Mi 270 is one of the few dual sim android phones available in the market. Unfortunately it comes with a resistive touch screen which may result in a less responsive touch interface. The Mi 270 has a 2 megapixel camera compared to the 3 megapixel camera available in the Micromax Bling 2.

Micromax has gone onto become one of the most selling mobiles brands in India. While all the buzz surrounds the latest mobiles like Micromax M2 and Micromax Bling 2, the Micromax X series continues to have some of the best value for money mobile phones. In this post we shall look at 5 of the best mobiles from this series. All these mobiles belong to Micromax mobiles below 5000.

Micromax X560Micromax X560: Priced at Rs. 4,237 , the Micromax X560 is the priciest mobile in this list!!. This bar shaped mobile weighs 100 grams and can house two GSM sims simultaneously. With a touch screen interface and a 2 megapixel camera, the X560 is completely worth the money. It would have been better if the touch screen were a little more responsive.

Micromax Psych: The Micromax Psych has almost all the important features of the X560 like touch screen interface and 2 mega pixel camera. The Psych has a better aesthetic appeal as well. Considering that it is cheaper by 1000 rupees compared to the X560, we recommend most people to go with the psych. However please note that the psych has a 2.8 inch touch screen as compared to 3.2 inch touch screen for X560. It does not have Wi-Fi support as well. It comes with a number of different color back covers as well.

Micromax X600Micromax X600: Touch screen and 2.0 megapixel camera seem to be the common minimum features for mobiles in this range. The Micromax X600 costs a little less than Rs. 4000. It is also known as Micromax Gravity because it can switch the active SIM when the user simply rotates the mobile by 360 degrees. The X600 has a 3.2 inch screen but does not have wi-fi connectivity. Micromax should have provided a stylus with the touch screen as the screen is not that responsive.

Micromax X510 PikeMicromax X510: This is simply the most popular mobile in this price range. The X510 Pike comes with a large number of backpanels of different colors. Like all the phones in this post, the Micromax X510 has a 2.0 megapixel camera, dual sim and touch screen. At close to 15 inches, it is one of the thickest phones in this list. However with a price tag of only Rs. 2856, it more than compensates for these minor issues.

 

Micromax X290Micromax X290: The Micromax X290 is quite different from the other four phones in this list. It does not have a touch screen. While the X290 has a camera, it is a 1.3 megapixel one. Even though the phone is available for only Rs. 1,719, it does not have most of the connectivity options. It does not even support social networking and email. So go for this one only if you need a very basic dual sim phone. Otherwise it makes sense to go for the X510.

MySmartPrice was started to make it easy to answer the question “Where should I buy XYZ?“.  XYZ being a specific book or mobile model. In the last 6 months, while trying to answer that question, we have realized that most non geeks do not start with a specific model in their mind. Rather they start with a statement similar to I want an android based Touch Screen phone in the range of 7-11k. It will be great if it has a A QWERTY keyboard as well. Alternatively they may be looking for a Dual SIM mobile with support for CDMA connection below 6k. While buying a mobile offline that question is answered by the store assistant. We could find a few  tools that try to do something similar in the online world but we were not satisfied with those and decided to create something better for our users.

Here are the answers by the tool for your query for Android Mobiles with touch screen between 7000 and 11000 and here is the answer for Dual Sim CDMA mobiles below 6000. You can see the effect of all our hard work if you change your mind and want to change any of those criteria.

The tool is still under development. Please give it a spin and let us know your feedback in the comments.

 

Few days back I had written a post about touch screen mobiles below 10000. That post has got an exceptionally good response and many people asked us to do brand wise posts as well.
