Best Mobile Phones in India Under 20K
Today buying a mobile phone in India is not easy, we are spoilt with choices. So many brands, so many phones, smartphones, Android, Symbian, Dual core processor, this UI, that UI and what not. Well, if you have decided a budget then I guess you have taken the first correct step. First decide a budget and then look for the best phone in the market in that budget.
In this post I am going to talk about best smartphones in India in the range of Rs.15,000 to Rs.20,000. Well this is a very common budget of urban India. We have the Android Era going on in India, every top smartphone is an Android smartphone (Sorry Nokia). In this post I have listed my favorite 4 smartphones in India in the range of Rs.20,000. Your views may differ and that is why we have the comments section below the post :) Feel free to express your views.
My List of Best Smartphones in India Under Rs.20,000 (As of 30th September,2011):
1. LG Optimus Black:
LG Optimus Black is the first phone to be
featuring the NOVA display technology, the display is surely one of the
brightest around if not the brightest. The focus of LG Optimus Black is
primarily on all round experiences rather than on raw processing power. It still features a 1GHz processor and 512MB
of RAM which will be more than enough to run any Android app.

The key features of the phone includes a giant
4 inch screen with NOVA display and 700 nits of brightness, the capacitive IPS
LCD unit is supported by 16M color. A 9mm touch screen bar. Dual brand 3G
support. Google Android Froyo which is upgradable to Gingerbread, with Gesture
UI 2.0 and LG Home launcher 2.0. It Features a 5MP primary camera with auto
focus and LED flash. Face and smile detection and geo-tagging included andHD

Raveendra, iPhone 3GS should have been included. My apologies for missing it out. Probably may be because I am not much a fan of iPhones. So that is the reason I did not list it here, else I agree it should have been here!
