If you are a mobile buff or an mobile enthusiast who want the best of the best smartphone available in the market that according to me this is not the right time to invest Rs. 30K+ on a smartphone. I am here not considering the 20K bracket because that range is already saturated with the offering from Sony (Xperia U, Xperia Sola), Samsung (Ace Plus), HTC(One V) and Nokia (Lumia 710). Slowly and slowly Rs. 30K+ range is also becoming saturated but still the main contender in that range is missing that is Apple IPhone 5.
Samsung had already launched Galaxy S3 for around Rs. 37,500(local retail) which is the biggest competitor to upcoming IPhone 5. HTC One X is the another quad core contender to compete with both Samsung Galaxy S3 and Apple IPhone 5. There is also a rumour going around that Samsung is Going to launch Galaxy Note 2 in near future. It will also be powered with a quad core CPU but will feature a 1.5 GB RAM and a 5.5 inch display.
But among all these rumours, the rumour regarding the launch of the upcoming IPhone 5 is the most prominent which is expected to be launched in September of this year. If rumour are to be believed than Apple IPhone 5 packs some serious improvements over it’s predecessors. Here is the list of the improvements that is expected to be featured in IPhone 5:
- First and foremost is the 4.0 inch retina display. Apple was always criticized for keeping the display size of their flagship IPhone 4S at 3.5 inch. 3.5 inch smartphones are usually available in 20K bracket here in India and everyone will expect something bigger at 40K price range. So this improvements will remove this bad point. 4 inch is a decent size.
- Resolution of the screen will be 1136 X 640
- HD Front facing camera for high quality video chat
- Maximum aperture size for the rear camera lens can be increased from 2.2 to 2.4
- Improved LTE support
So 2 of the 3 beats of the smartphone are already released into the market but we are still waiting for the final one. So i will recommend you to wait till September at least and get your smartphone after comparing all 3 with each other.
