    Huawei Ascend P1 Now Available In India At Rs 12,999

    Yeah ICS ? But specs are screen are really good. Wonder how the ASS is of Hyundai. In the same league as Micromax or better ?

    0-10K New Smartphone

    I checked out a few phones at a store. Both were decent performers and the only game I tested - Temple Run 2 ran smoothly. However the build quality was average to below average and their service is hardly reassuring.

    Looking for wide angle lens

    Dude, you seem to be getting more confused ! First off I was referring to the FF equivalent FL ONLY ! You said it would be IMPOSSIBLE for him to get an UWA effect. And yes you are correct that perspective distortion will be diminished with FF UWA but it will still be very much present. The OP...

    0-10K New Smartphone

    ^^ Oh yeah it is. In fact I have dropped my phone w/o cover at least 7-8 times already in the past few months (yes I am clumsy). Nothing happened to the phone. No dents or issues caused with the drops. For 8k there is nothing close. For 13k the Galaxy Core comes close and has JB out of the box...

    Looking for wide angle lens

    Arrgh ! Guys please stop posting half baked or wrong info !!! :( @sabby - You are mostly correct. 15-24mm (FF equivalent ) is considered UWA territory so the Canon 10-22 and Sigma 10-20mm are considered UWA lenses. I personally use a Sigma 10-20mm. However you do get (albiet a bit rare) lenses...

    0-10K New Smartphone

    Well I got it many months ago. The specs were seriously amazing at that time and even now there are few phones that come close to its specs within 2x the price I bought it for. Secondly its a Made in Korea phone so the build quality and QC are better than a mass produced Chinese phone. So even...

    25K+ Nexus 4/Xperia ZR/Samsung S4

    Thats not quite true actually, the 1020 uses a slightly smaller sensor than the 808. I think with improvements in sensor tech the 1020 might overcome or match the 808 but nevertheless its not the same sensor.

    0-10K New Smartphone

    There is no service whatsoever. If it fails you are on your own. Certain issues might be able to get fixed by a local phone mechanic but most major ones will not. The Burst has great specs but there is no support here.

    For Android the LG L5 II (note the II after the L5) is an OK phone. Specs are decent - 1 Ghz Mediatek processor, 512 MB Ram, 4 GB internal memory but it does have a nice IPS 4" screen @ 480x800 pixels and it has a SGX531 GPU which is much better than the general Adreno 203 GPUs you get at this...

    10-15K New Smart phone under 12000

    Try rooting it and using Titanium Backup (free app) you can remove all the bloatware apps. Should speed up your phone a bit and more importantly free up some internal memory. You can even try dabbling with custom ROMs but do note that Custom ROMs can screw up your phone if you don't follow...

    25K+ Nexus 4/Xperia ZR/Samsung S4

    I thought Samsung S4 has the best camera right now (or at least in the top 3 easily). So how did it become a bad camera ? :P IMO its the best phone right now except for its plastic looks which doesn't make it seem like a flagship device. The HTC One looks amazing with its Unibody construction...

    Android 4.3 Jelly Bean brings multi-user profiles, starts rolling out today

    ^^ Will take a long time sirjee. They will probably update their flagship devices first.

    Nokia's VP says better hardware without apps isn't enough for sales

    Too much choice is a bad thing !!! Microsoft should use that as their slogan to lure Android and iOS users. :P I don't understand what drama you are referring to. My phone has a grand total of 2 custom ROMs currently available and I am very happy with CM10. Now there is really no reinstalling...

    Nokia's VP says better hardware without apps isn't enough for sales

    ^^ I went on a game hunting spree on the Google play store and I was stunned at the sheer no of games. Tried a bunch of them and found most of them pretty impressive. Now thats one of the main advantages of having a store with barely enough apps and one with more apps than you could ever want. :P

    Nokia's VP says better hardware without apps isn't enough for sales

    Where did you pull out that 95% statistic from ? :P Android is getting smoother and smother with later OS iterations and 4.2 is already pretty smooth.

    Nokia's VP says better hardware without apps isn't enough for sales

    ^^ Look I am not so hot on WP8 right now but why would anyone wish for WP8 to fail ??? :o Its a competing OS to Android and iOS and IMO competition is always a good thing for the consumer. Since Nokia has dual core phones at sub 10k levels I am sure other manufacturers will be forced to pull...

    20-25K Phone with a good Camera

    The Samsung S3 has a pretty good camera. If your friend is fine with WP8 then the Lumia 820 has a fantastic camera and will save her a few bucks too. However the Samsung has the better screen and Android has far more no of apps.

    10-15K New Smart phone under 12000

    If you are open to rooting (not talking custom ROMs) you can remove the bloatware from the device to get better performance. Most phones are loaded with bloatware that you cannot remove by default.

    Nokia's VP says better hardware without apps isn't enough for sales

    Frugal hardware ? Give me a break, Android will run just fine on dual core Krait processor and an Adreno 305 chipset. (Which the cheapest Lumia 520 has). Perhaps 1 GB ram is a minimum for Android but my phone has an older gen S3 dual processor and with the latest CM 10 the phone is butter smooth...

    USB or (Native TRRS) Headset with mic. Budget 10K

    Almost all USB headsets are 5.1 these days. :P Creative hasn't launched this model yet. Still waiting for it to appear on their website.
