The newest entrant, the Samsung I9003 Galaxy S LCD wastes no time in winning the title of the best Android phone under Rs. 20,000. It has a huge 4.0-inch Super LCD that is almost as good as the Super AMOLED, which is saying a lot. Rest of the features remain identical, save for a weaker GPU, bigger battery and a slight increase in thickness. It is a powerful smartphone with excellent multimedia capabilities. In fact, that large display makes anything on it look good. For that price, it is an absolute steal.
Phones under Rs. 25,000
Samsung has brought the I9000 Galaxy S back from the dead and has done so at a killer price. The phone is now a good four thousand rupees less and manages to just fall under the Rs. 25,000 price barrier. It was the best Android phone in the market before and although it may not be the best now, it still kicks far too much ass to be ignored. All the things that we mentioned were missing in the I9003, they are all here. While some may argue the point of spending Rs. 5,000 extra for those things but for some the Super AMOLED display itself would be a good enough reason and wouldn't really disagree with them. Good as Super LCD may be, Samsung's Super AMOLED is in a class of its own.
We would also like to recommend the HTC Desire Z here. It may not be as good as the Galaxy S but it has a full QWERTY keypad and that for some may be the deciding factor rather than CPU clock speeds and display technology. It also has HTC's Sense UI, which is possibly the best custom skin that you will find on any Android device. In fact, the integration and customization is so deep, it can hardly be called a skin anymore. Google itself could learn a thing or two from HTC's implementation.
Last month, we advised you to wait as there were some really good Android phones on the horizon. This month, we would ask you to do the same. Although there are some pretty good phones right now, such as the HTC Desire HD, Incredible S and the Dell Venue, we are expecting a lot more in April that might just make you repent your decision if you splurge now.
If you cannot wait, however, our pick would be the new Incredible S. It has a large 4.0-inch display, attractive design, powerful hardware, 8 megapixel camera with 720p video recording and HD video playback with DivX/Xvid support. It's priced at Rs. 26,799. We are recommending it over the Desire HD because it has a better battery life, which is crucial if you plan to use all the features it has.
