Best Smartphone Deals For June, 2014

A smartphone’s life is full of ups and downs. For a first few months, it receives all the attention from the media and fanboys. It also gets to flaunt its price tag during that time. Then suddenly, a bunch of new phones hit the market, and the old ones get forgotten in no time. To clear the stocks, the manufacturers offer heavy discounts on such handsets, and that I think is the ‘smart’ time to buy a smartphone. Now if you too are a miser just like me, here are some of the best deals you can currently avail online.

Moto E
Price: Rs 7000
The Moto E is a dirt-cheap smartphone from a reputed brand. It comes with the latest Android Kitkat OS. What's more, it runs smoother than any Android handset in its price tag. The phone offers a 4.3" IPS screen with 540x960 pixels, which looks quite sharp. The device is powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor and is coupled with 1 GB of RAM. There's 4 GB of internal memory, plus a microSD card slot that supports up to 32 GB expansion. The camera quality and craftsmanship are not up to the mark. But, hey it's still the best Android handset you can buy for Rs 7000.

Nokia Lumia 630 (Single SIM)
Price: Rs 9700
Nokia has the knack of making affordable phones look exceptionally good. The Lumia 630 is no exception to that. It's a stylish device that comes in bold colours. It features a 4.5-inch IPS screen with 480x854 pixels. The phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 (quad-core) chipset. Apart from the 8 GB internal storage, the phone features a microSD card slot. There’s a 5 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, GPS, and 1830 mAh battery. What's missing here is a front-facing camera. The 512 MB RAM looks under-whelming on the paper, but thanks to the optimised Windows Phone 8.1 OS, the user experience is very good.

Moto G (16 GB)
Street Price: Rs 14,000
The Moto G offers a 4.5-inch HD display on budget. It's also one of the toughest fella in its price range. A quad-core Snapdragon 400 chipset runs the show, while a 5 megapixel camera takes care of the photography department. It also sports a front-facing snapper for video calling, which is something the Lumia 630 lacks. What's missing here is the microSD card slot, so it’s better to go for the 16 GB version. The Moto G offers Android Jelly Bean 4.3 out-of-the-box, which can be updated to Kitkat. The Indian variant comes with dual-SIM support. The phone packs in 2070 mAh battery.

Blackberry Z10
Rs 19,000
The device comes with 4.2 inch, 355 ppi, 720x1280 pixel screen with 16 GB of internal storage and 2 GB of RAM. Additionally, the phone is compatible with many android apps. At the heart is 1.5 GHz dual-core Snapdragon with Adreno 225 making playing games like Real Racing 3 possible. The BB 10 OS may not have as many features as Android, but is definitely more polished than Google's mobile platform. Pegged at Rs 44,000 on the launch day, the Z10 is now available for Rs 19,000.

Nokia Lumia 925
Rs 25,000
The Lumia 925 is one of the most elegant handset you can get at this price tag. On the software front, you get Microsoft’s platform that works without any stutter even on a dual-core processor. The phone comes pre-loaded with some neat apps and services including Microsoft Office Suite, Here Maps+, and Beamer. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 isn’t very powerful, but offers a consistent performance. The handset sports a 4.5-inch HD AMOLED screen. The 8 megapixel camera (backed by Carl Zeiss optics) offers excellent low-light results. For more details, you can refer to our Lumia 925 review.

Nexus 5
Rs 27,000
In the sub-30k smartphone category, the Nexus 5 recommendation is obligatory. The handset comes with a fiery Snapdragon 800 chip that can churn out fancy 3D games. In addition to that, the phone is also good at delivering a consistent performance. Its 5-inch IPS screen is incredibly sharp. The Nexus 5 runs latest Android 4.4 Kitkat. You get the “pure” Android experience since LG hasn't added any bloatware to the software. It’s comes with tight Google integration. Look wise, the Nexus 5 sports a clean and simple design. It’s not quite a looker, but nobody will dislike it either.

Samsung GALAXY S4
Rs 28,500
With the GALAXY 5's price still hovering above Rs 40,000, the S4 is a perfect companion for Samsung fans. The phone offers a brilliant 5" Super AMOLED screen. The 13 megapixel camera is another high point of this phone. It's powered by the Exynos 5410 chipset. Other features include 16 GB of internal storage, microSD support for up to 64 GB, and 2,600 mAh battery. Last year, it was selling for over Rs 41,000.
