There is some competition at last for the two hottest-selling phones in the Indian smartphone market -- Apple iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy note II. What's more interesting is that this challenge will be posed not by a single new entrant, but from the four flagship models launched by established companies.
Only time will tell if any of these smartphones are able to take on the brand might of these smartphones. Even as Samsung prepares to bring S IV, its latest flagship successor to S III, in the market in coming weeks, these four smartphones -- Nokia Lumia 920, Sony Xperia Z, HTC Butterfly and BlackBerry Z10 -- will be vying for buyers' attention.
Launched in the past few weeks, all the four are capable competitors to the two bestsellers, at least when it comes to technological and design parameters.
We compared the four -- Nokia Lumia 920, Sony Xperia Z, HTC Butterfly and BlackBerry Z10 -- to see how they fare on different parameters. Here's the shootout.
Let us look at the OS first. The most popular OS being
Android, Xperia Z and HTC Butterfly surely have an edge over the other
two. But choosing an OS depends on various factors and some people do
like the WIndows Phone 8 OS.
If your friends and colleagues use Android OS, then it is a wise decision to go for Android OS rather than sticking on to an OS that no one in your neighbourhood uses. At least by that way, you could enjoy some multiplayer games as well as use various sharing options.
Moving on to the camera, Xperia Z is a hands down winner as it has a whopping 13 megapixel snapper that will blow your mind.
In case of screen size, if you don’t want a big 5-inch thing in your pocket, the BB Z10 is a safe option. It does have all the features and is fitted on to a 4.2 inch screen.
Among the phones, reading a PDF or text document can be most elegantly done if you are using the Lumia 920. It has the clear black display that is soothing to your eyes if you are into mobile reading.
Technically, the Sony Xperia Z is far more advanced than all the others as it is dust proof, water proof, offers higher resolution and has 2GB of RAM. The processing capabilities of the Xperia Z is
also unparallel.
Among the phones, the HTC Butterfly is the most expensive although it doesn’t have any special features other than HTC’s brand name when compared to other phones we are comparing here.
In short, if you want to read stuff on your phone, go for Lumia 920. If you want a phone with all the features and smaller size, go for BB Z10 and if you want the best smartphone out there, then definitely go for the Xperia Z. The prices and launch dates of these superphones in India are as follows:
Sony Xperia Z : Rs.37,990 ( launched on 12th March 2013)
Nokia Lumia 920 : Rs. 35,299 ( launched on 11th January 2013)
Blackberry Z10 : Rs. 34,990 ( launched on 25th February 2013)
HTC Butterfly : Rs. 45,900 ( release date yet to be known)
