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.

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: 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 C2-01: 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.

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.
