Best Smartphones Under Rs. 15,000: November 2014

Best Smartphones Under Rs. 15,000: November 2014

motorola_moto_g_gen_2.jpg
In our last roundup of the best Android phones that cost less than Rs. 15,000, we had recommended the Xiaomi Mi 3 as the best phone to buy, and had been suggesting the 8GB variant of the Asus Zenfone 5 as the best value for money phone you can get. Three months have passed since then however, and a lot of new phones are in the market under Rs. 15,000. Also notable is the fact that since our last roundup, the Xiaomi Mi 3 is no longer available to buy. However, if you can get your hands on it at less than Rs. 15,000, it remains a great buy.
Some of the high profile launches since our last roundup included the three Android One phones and the fingerprint sensor equipped Xolo Q2100, not to mention the Jolla Smartphone running the Sailfish OS and the entry-level Firefox OS phone, the Intex Cloud FX. If you're looking to buy a phone right now, then here are our top picks for smartphones under Rs. 15,000:
Best overall: Motorola Moto G (Gen 2)
The Moto G was one of the handsets responsible for creating the current interest in the under-Rs. 15,000 market, and the second generation of the device remains an excellent buy. The new Moto G (Review | Pictures) is a bit boring to look at, but does well in terms of its display, software, performance, battery life and camera, making it a really good pick.

Best value for money: Asus ZenFone 5 (8GB)
Available at under Rs. 10,000, the Asus ZenFone 5 (Review | Pictures) 8GB model remains our value-for-money pick, since you get a phone with a great camera, decent performance and looks, at a price where the competing phones come with serious compromises.

  • Still running Android 4.3
  • Scratch-prone camera lens

Best camera: Panasonic P81
The Panasonic P81 (Review | Pictures) launched at a fairly high price of Rs. 19,990, and at that price it wasn't a great option at all. However, the phone has just received a huge price cut and although that doesn't help with the boring design and average display, it certainly makes the P81 a reasonable buy today. We liked the camera on this phone even at its original price, and at approximately Rs. 11,000, it is probably the best option around with great low-light performance. In case you don't want to go with a phablet that has a 5.5-inch screen, you could instead pick up the Moto G. That phone has a pretty good camera too, but the P81 wins in terms of low-light performance.

Best battery life: Micromax Canvas Nitro
Launched in September for Rs. 12,900, the Micromax Canvas Nitro (Review | Pictures) did not thrill us - its scores in design and software were middling, and the camera is downright bad. The phone comes loaded with bloatware, and the performance is only middling. But the battery life on the phone is unmatched in the category, and if you're someone who's always on the move and needs a big battery that won't let you down, then there's no better option than the Canvas Nitro.

Best phablet: Panasonic P81
While there are other phablets in this category, the price cut of the Panasonic P81 makes it a worthy option. You won't get the best looking phone for your money, and the Android skin from Panasonic is crude, but the phone has good performance, a great camera, and delivers incredible value for the money it costs.

Lumia 535 Launched; Microsoft's First Windows Phone Sans Nokia

Lumia 535 Launched; Microsoft's First Windows Phone Sans Nokia

microsoft_lumia_535_screen.jpg
Microsoft, as expected, on Tuesday finally launched the first Lumia smartphone with its own branding, called the Microsoft Lumia 535.The new Lumia smartphone from Microsoft will be available in two variants - single SIM (with the same name) and dual-SIM, called the Lumia 535 Dual SIM. The handset will be available starting November at an estimated recommended retail price of EUR 110 (roughly Rs. 8,400) before taxes and subsidies. The Microsoft Lumia 535 will first be available in countries such as China, Hong Kong and Bangladesh, with other countries to follow.
Announcing the news via the Lumia Conversations blog, Microsoft said, "Today sees the launch of the new Microsoft Lumia 535, our "5x5x5" smartphone package bringing a 5-inch screen, 5-megapixel front- and rear-facing camera, and free integrated Microsoft experiences (such as Skype and OneNote) to more people at an affordable price."
Both the Microsoft Lumia 535 and Lumia 535 Dual SIM come with identical specifications; except the latter features dual-SIM support. The smartphone runs Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim update and features a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a qHD (540x960 pixels) resolution and a pixel density of 220ppi. It also sports Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.
microsoft_lumia_535_skype_call.jpgThe Lumia 535 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2GHz alongside 1GB of RAM. There is 8GB of built-in storage that is further expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB). Much like other Lumia handsets, the Lumia 535 and Lumia 535 Dual SIM also get 15GB of free OneDrive cloud storage.
One of the highlight features of the Lumia 535 is the 5-megapixel front-facing camera, which is reminiscent of the Lumia 730 and Lumia 735. The company touts, "The Lumia 535 not only provides you with crystal-clear imagery and the Lumia selfie app, but you'll also be able to get more in shot during those Skype calls." It also sports a 5-megapixel rear camera with an LED flash.
Microsoft has announced that the Lumia 535, much like other Lumia handsets, will be available in Cyan, Bright Green, Bright Orange, White, Dark Grey, and Black colours.
The smartphone also supports Bluetooth LE and can connect to accessories such as the Portable Wireless Speaker and Coloud Bang among others.
Microsoft last month had announced that it would drop the Nokia name from its Lumia smartphones, continuing the rebranding following the acquisition of the Finnish company's handset division.

Reliance Jio's Entry May Force 20 Percent Drop in Data Tariffs: Fitch

Reliance Jio's Entry May Force 20 Percent Drop in Data Tariffs: Fitch

man_texting_on_iphone_reuters.jpg
Global rating agency Fitch on Tuesday said the imminent entry of Reliance Jio into the telecom space will see a likely 20 percent fall in data tariffs, but will not have any impact on the credit profile of the top four incumbents in the medium term as their revenue is on an uptick on rising voice tariffs and improving regulatory environment.
"The likely entry of Reliance Jio (in H1 of 2015) will intensify competition in the data segment, and may cause data tariffs to decline by at least 20 percent for the top four telecom operators - Bharti Airtel, Vodafone, Idea and RCom," Fitch said in a report Tuesday.
Reliance Jio will focus largely on data and may have a limited impact on the incumbents' core voice business, given a weak "voice-over-LTE" technology ecosystem and lack of affordable 4G-compatible handsets, it said, but added that it "does not foresee a re-run of the tariff wars of 2009-13, which led to a severe decline in industry tariffs."
However, the report said the outlook for state-run telcos and weaker unprofitable private sector ones is negative due to their non-viable business models, high cost structure, weak spectrum assets and large Capex requirements.
"Weaker, unprofitable operators will seek mergers amid Ebitda losses, lack of 3G/4G spectrum assets, and likely relaxation of M&A restrictions.
(Also See:Telecom Commission Approves Spectrum Allocation for Cordless Telephony)
"Six operators are likely to emerge from the industry shake-out, as 10-12 operators are unsustainable," Fitch said, adding, it expects the top four telecom operators to increase their revenue market share to around 83 percent in 2015 from 79 percent in 2014 of the $30-billion industry. Industry revenue will grow by at a mid-single-digit in 2015, driven by data services. The top four telecom operators average operating margin will be mostly unchanged at 32-33 percent in 2015 against 32 percent in 2014 as a decline in data tariffs will offset a gradual rise in voice tariffs, it said.
The top four telecom operators will generate a minimal free cash flow margin due to higher Capex and flat operating income while the industry capex/revenue ratio could rise as fast-growing data traffic requires supporting investment in 2015.
However, the outlook for the top four may turn negative if price-based competition returns in the voice segment. It could turn negative if the government auctions a lower-than-expected quantity of spectrum in February, as that could force the incumbents to aggressively bid to secure their licences which expire next fiscal.

HTC Desire 816G Review: Fails to Recreate the Magic

HTC Desire 816G Review: Fails to Recreate the Magic

htc_desire_816g_cover1_ndtv.jpg
In what could be considered a comeback of sorts, thanks to good sales of the Desire 816 and the One (M8), HTC is following Samsung's footsteps by announcing new phones left, right and centre. Recently, the company announced the HTC Desire 816G, which is supposedly a 3G-only variant of the Desire 816 with watered-down specifications. We loved the Desire 816 for its great 13-megapixel camera and its media playback capabilities. Let's hope that the Taiwanese smartphone company can recreate the same magic with the new Desire 816G.
htc_desire_816g_cover_ndtv.jpgLook and feel
The HTC Desire 816G is identical to the Desire 816 (Review | Pictures) except that the former is 7g lighter at 158g and a negligible 0.1mm thicker than its elder brother. The design issues we had with the Desire 816 persists with the Desire 816G, for example, the dual-tone finish (matte and gloss) is still an eyesore. The glossy rear is a fingerprint magnet and it scratches very easily. While these scratches were clearly visible on our navy blue variant, the white variant should be able to mask them better.
htc_desire_816g_camera_ndtv.jpgA large 5.5-inch screen takes up most of the front of the device and there are thick bezels around it. The BoomSound speakers are present above and below the screen. On the top is the front-facing camera. HTC uses on-screen buttons for navigating through the operating system. The Micro-USB port is on the bottom while the 3.5mm audio jack can  be found on top. HTC continues to place the volume rocker and power button on the top of the left edge of the Desire 816G. We feel that ergonomically, by virtue of its placement, left-handed users will find it easier to handle. A flap on the right opens up to reveal the two Nano-SIM card slots and a slot for the microSD card. The primary camera sits on the top right corner of the rear and below it is the flash module.
Specifications and software
HTC has decided to go with a MediaTek 6582 quad-core chipset clocked at 1.3GHz per core with integrated Mali-400MP graphics. The phone also has 1GB of RAM and 8GB of storage space. Apart from this, microSD cards of up to 32GB can be used.
As we mentioned before, the Desire 816G is a 3G-only device, but only the primary SIM card can connect to a 3G network. With respect to the other connectivity options, there is Bluetooth v4.0 and Wi-Fi a/b/g/n as well. There is a 13-megapixel primary camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. Both these shooters can capture 1080p videos. Providing the juice for the phone is a 2600mAh battery.
htc_desire_816g_capacitive_button_ndtv.jpgThe 5.5-inch screen has a resolution of 720x1280 which translates to a pixel density of approximately 267ppi. The panel is of the relatively old S-LCD2 type, and while it does display crisp visuals, viewing angles are not too great. We noticed that the screen desaturated quite a bit even if we tilted the screen a little. Sunlight legibility on the other hand pretty good.
htc_desire_816g_front_camera_ndtv.jpgThe phone runs Android 4.4.2 with HTC's Sense UI 6.0 slapped on top of it. We've explored the software at length in our reviews of the HTC Desire 816 and the HTC One M8 (Review | Pictures). The implementation is not too different in the HTC Desire 816G except for the omission of the Zoe app and the use of a different camera app.
Camera
We had loved the camera app on the HTC Desire 816 and the options it presented. Unfortunately, HTC has decided to go with a crude camera app from Gingerbread days, which is super clunky to use. Smartphone manufacturers should absolutely stay away from using this app for their phones, and users will benefit from downloading a third-party alternative.
htc_desire_816g_camera_app_ndtv.pngAdding to the woe is that the lens is slow to focus and shoot images, and it gets even worse in low-light situations. We always ended up with blurred images. It would have been fine if the shutter had actually opened long enough to let in more light and capture crisp images, but no; shots we captured in low-light situations were not at all impressive.
Thankfully, we'd kept our expectations in check. In fact, the 13-megapixel camera is not a patch on the one in the Desire 816. Daylight shots had some noise and lost out on certain details. Also, while colours looked natural, we found chromatic aberration in some spots. 1080p videos that we captured looked fine. The 5-megapixel front camera doesn't have a wide field of view but can capture some decent self-portraits provided the light is adequate.
htc_desire_816g_camera_sample_ndtv.jpg(Click for full size)
Performance
The Mediatek SoC used in the HTC Desire 816G can also be found in much cheaper phones such as the Huawei Honor Holly (Review | Pictures). This processor is meant for lower end phones but we were pleasantly surprised to see how HTC has managed to optimise its performance. We didn't notice any lags and the performance of other phones with the same hardware pales in comparison. Taps and swipes registered with gusto, apps opened fairly quickly, and scrolling through web pages was a breeze.
Casual games run fine on the phone but don't expect it to play high-end games smoothly. This was corroborated by the GFXbench and 3D Mark Ice Storm scores of 7.3fps and 3,143 respectively. The more CPU-bound AnTuTu and Quadrant returned scores of 17,501 and 6,926 respectively, which are not too great.
htc_desire_816g_rear_ndtv.jpgThe Desire 816G managed to play all the videos we tried; this included a 1080p video encoded at 40mbps. HTC claims that the Desire 816G has BoomSound but it is not as good as the implementation we saw on the HTC One Max (Review) or the HTC One (M8). Stereo separation is good but the overall sound is tinny. Moreover, it doesn't get very loud.
Our review unit didn't have the headset HTC usually bundles with its retail packages, but we tested the sound with our reference headphones and it was pretty good. As is with most HTC phones, the sound quality in calls was really good and we cant really find a fault with it. In our intensive battery test, the phone lasted 6 hours, 15 minutes, which is fairly okay. However, we did notice that the Desire 816G's battery doesn't lose too much power when the device is in standby.
Verdict
HTC had priced the phone at Rs. 18,990 at its launch (which wasn't too long ago), but it is already available at a discounted price of around Rs. 17,000. We think even this asking price is a little on the high side. This device takes the really good formula of the HTC Desire 816 - big screen, decent specifications and a great camera - and reduces it to something we really cannot be as enthusiastic about. Why would anyone want to buy the Desire 816G? We really don't have an answer.
The newly launched Lenovo Vibe X2 and the Huawei Honor 6 (Review | Pictures) are much better phones in the same price range, and we'd suggest looking at those instead.
