I honestly can not believe what i am seeing right now. I am so excited i am getting goosebumps. EVEN WRITING ABOUT IT MAKING ME SHIVER DAMN IT!(See, i wrote it all with caps lock on, excitement is real). Since i am one hell of a budget phone lover. This is like a pure beast of a phone for the price of a generic smartphone with quad core processor and 5 inch screen. But Xiaomi Mi3 has the specs of a 40,000 Rupees flagship! I can recommend this phone even without touching/reviewing it.
As you people may have already know by now that HTC Desire 516 is the cheapest smartphone from HTC with a 5 inch screen. It also has a quadcore processor by the way. It looks good, isn’t it? Just stick a quadcore moniker with a phone and it suddenly becomes desirable. The people that buy these phones don’t even know what they are buying. They just fall for the advertising. But then again, it’s all business. You can’t blame anybody but yourself.
HTC Desire 516 has very minimal specs. Very minimal. Specs you could find in most of the android phones below 10,000 Rupees(Approx $170). But it is still going to sell very well, you know why? Three things. The name HTC, it’s price, and 5 inch screen. If you think i am just blabbering nonsense and my theory has no base. I am just going say, look at the success of Nokia XL, you know what’s the reason of its success? It’s 5 inch screen, the price and ofcourse Nokia’s name.
One more choice, you can buy both. But the price at which they are available at. I don’t think the companies are aiming for people whom can buy both. Anyway, The major difference between both these phones is of the OS. HTC Desire 516 runs on Android while Blackberry Z3 runs on god-knows-what. Oh yes, after a quick Google search now i know. It runs on something called Blackberry OS. And that is the main problem with Blackberry now a days. It is becoming obsolete.
Karbonn A50S or Karbonn Smart A50S costs only a fraction of the smartphones with which it was competing in benchmarks. In benchmarks like Nenamark 2 it came right below Samsung Galaxy S2. A phone that costs more than 4 times of Karbonn A50S. And in antutu as you can see above in the photo above it scored more than 9000 points. That’s suprising right? But wait, it scored that much because of the Mediatek MTK MT6572 chipset. It is an old chipset and , hence it is optimized for the antutu benchmark. So, not so surprising.
You know, Karbonn A50S might look like a tiny little phone. But it holds a very big title. The title of being the cheapest android smartphone in the world. For reference it costs only 2,790 Rupees which is somewhat equivalent of approx $45. And what you are getting at that throw-away price ain’t that bad either. You are getting a dual core proceessor, dual-sim and what not.
First of all don’t mistake ZTE Grand X Quad Lite with ZTE Grand X. There’s a difference, Grand X Quad has HD display while Grand X Quad lite has qHD, hence the ‘lite’ moniker. ZTE Grand X Quad Lite is a phone that costs only 6,799 Rupees and it has 5 inches qHD IPS display and a respectable Quadcore processor. If i was in the market looking for a phone with 5 inch screen and more than decent performance and didn’t care about brand name. I would’ve bought this.
