Nokia Lumia 510
Windows powered Nokia Lumia 510 priced just under INR 10,000 is another eye catching device in the value for money smartphones category in India.

It has a large 4.0-inch, 480x800p TFT capacitive touchscreen with pixel density of about 233 ppi. The 5 MP camera clicks decent images with geo-tagging, touch focus, face detection features, however with lack of flash, night shots will come out half baked. The music experience is nice in Lumia 510 with speakers offering loud volume and clear sound. The key drawbacks for this smartphone are lack of storage expansion slot and it runs on Windows Phone 7.5 (and will get an upgrade only to Windows Phone 7.8) which means Windows Phone 8 is out of option for this smartphone. Given the price and features it is by far the best Windows Phone based device available today in the market
