Hey Shreya,
I have looked up for your requirement. So I guess you should go for HTC Explorer. This is an Android phone with advanced features. Rest is all your choice!
I want a phone with a better speed and long life in under Rs.4500/- by a company with good service.
I just want a reliable durable and aesthetically designed smart phone below rs. 8000/-. I’m still in a dilemma which one to buy.
Which one would you go for asha 311 , samsung galaxy Y, or LG optimus
Well, it depends. But, if you’re in hurry and can’t wait till Asha 311 launch, go for Galaxy Y.
I think Samsung Salaxy wins the race with 800mz processor, but I didn’t like its camera. It’s just 2 MP and screen size is just 3 inches! But LG Optimus NET P690 is really good, I’ll buy it.
Moto fire is also a good option available just above rs 7000/-
