Coolpad Dazen 1 @ 5999 Rupees
The phone is Snapdeal exclusive supports Indian 4G LTE band 1800 and 2300 MHz TD/FD. Based on dual SIM concept the first SIM port support to 4G/3G network whereas the second port is restricted for 2G/1G network.
As a true believer in Stock OS, I am disappointed for not having stock Android experience with the Dazen 1. Running operating system Android Kitkat, which is wrapped up in “COOL UI” brings some uniqueness in user’s comfort. So far, the brand has not indicated Android Lollipop update for this phone.
The most exciting feature on this phone is the powerful CPU architecture, which includes Snapdragon 410 processor, Adreno 306 graphic unit and 2GB RAM. A CPU could perform well only if there is a powerful battery. Coolpad offers a lithium polymer juicy battery valued 2500 mAh for minimum 36 to 40 hours of easy mileage.
Based on 294 pixels per inch, the screen size of 5 inch with a resolution 720 × 1280 pixel produces crystal clear, sharp and great viewing experience.
The Coolpad Dazen One is just 155 gram in weight and only 9.3 mm in thickness. We cannot call it a lightweight gadget yet it is not bulky when holding in hand. With 8MP primary and 5MP front facing cameras, user gets good experience in daily photography.
Xiaomi Redmi 2 @ 5999 Rupees
Even after the successful launch of “Made in India” Redmi 2 Prime at 6999 rupees, Redmi 2 smartphone, which is considered a predecessor now, is in huge demand. Recently Xiaomi announced hefty price cut to maintain the sales stream.
The Phone runs on Android Kitkat 4.4.4, which is clouded by MIUI custom user interface in order to render unique smartphone taste to the end user. You are aware about my stand on custom UI that is embolden further because of really heavy Xiaomi’s MIUI. The MIUI creates lots of performance related issues on this phone.
I did not endorse Redmi 2, when it was at pick in demand, but endorsing today after a decisive price cut to help the sales. The device is exposed to frequent crash, heating and poor performance. However, recent price cut and Indian 4G LTE support makes it a hot choice against all available options below 6000 rupees.
Smooth performance, which is a key in a smartphone has ensured by snapdragon 410 processor that is coupled with 1GB RAM and Adreno 306 graphic unit. User experience about multitasking and gaming remains pretty much positive without much complain.In terms of memory management, Xiaomi has made the phone exciting as user gets 8GB internal storage, 32GB MicroSD card and USB OTG support. When it comes to camera setup, the Redmi 2 is one of the best choices one can think in low budget price segment. 8MP auto focus camera is backed by BSI sensor, LED flash and digital zoom for FHD recording at 30 fps. With 2MP wide angle sensor, you will be able to secure the best quality individual and group selfie.
Xiaomi packs 2200mAh lithium polymer battery that does go well, despite extensive usages on 3G and 4G network. Also, an advance battery saving feature helps user during data browsing on 3G/4G mobile internet.
InFocus M2 4G @ 5499 Rupees
I trust the American brand Infocus, which gets credit for some of the best smartphones in low and medium price segment in India. There are many good reasons to buy Infocus M2 4G. However, here we are briefing only two prominent pros besides Indian 4G LTE support. The first reason is brilliant selfie camera and the second reason is HD display, which brings great colour reproduction and superb viewing angles.As it is evident from device name, the M2 4G is designed to be attractive for more buyers seeking quality 4G solution below 5500 rupees. In terms of connectivity, the phone lists multiple USB profile, GPS, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi, 3G, 2G and 1G and Indian 4G LTE TD/FD profile.
Since a phone consumers lots of battery juice during 3G/4G browsing, high capacity battery is needed particularly in 4G phones. Having only 2010 mAh battery in Infocus M2 4G is little disappointing for me. The phone requires around 2 hours of continuous charging to get fully recharged that lasts 18 to 24 hours on normal usages.
Best Camera
Infocus is famous for doing the best camera job in its wide range of smartphones. Certainly this phone is no different as both primary and front facing camera features 8MP sensor and auto focus enhancement. User demand for better photography anytime anywhere is fulfilled here. Record good quality FHD video and group selfie with wide background details by a flashy camera application, which is part of the Inlife user interface. I would like to get reader’s attention for Infocus’s Inlife UI, which is a light weight user friendly application really helps in daily usages of the phone.
I am disappointed with 4.2 inches TFT panel boosted with 355 PPI pixel density and a resolution ration of 768 × 1280 pixels. However, contrary to my perception performance of the display is really exceptional. You will be thrilled with this warm coloury display, which renders utmost clarity without sucking too much battery juice.
Infocus M2 4G is powered by a rich CPU unit offers hassle free usages without lag or hang issue. Web browsing experience is really good on this phone. It also does well with top level action games, but you need to play them in low or medium setting.

Yu Yunique @ 5449 Rupees – MY PREFRENCE
This is the cheapest HD 4G phone in India. The phone comes with a regular set of accessories including a screen guard inside sales box. In terms of design and built, we get something new as it features nice metallic buttons, rounded edges and soft back cover. Having audio jack on top of the phone makes easier for user to slip out in pocket and listening to music through pinned up earphone. There is gorilla glass three protection helps against tough scratch or sudden fall.
Speaker
Main speaker is single driver unit gets completely muffled when placed on a flat surface due to flat design on the back of this phone. Talking about audio loudness and richness of bass, I am sure user will be amazed with the performance of rear speaker unit on Yu Yunique smartphone. The earphone that comes along can blow user’s mind with loud music rich bass, but bit low in sound clarity.
Camera
The main camera is an 8MP sensor, which can record FHD video, takes HQ shots in daytime and clear shots (with good amount of noise) in low lighted ambient. There are lots of preset enhancements helps user for professional photography according to occasion and lighting condition. Taking about quality and colour accuracy in output snaps we found that slightly lower, below out expectation. However, background details are nicely captured whether user takes picture or video.
Yes, we were not satisfied with primary shooter until rechecking of the price tag. For a payment of just 5000 rupees, we cannot expect this camera module to be as good as Sony Xperia shooters.
Coming to the front camera, which is here a 2MP shooter secure lots of micro details from the subject along with explicit narration of background. After applying some refreshment technology, the final selfie comes out really great.
USB OTG Memory enhancement
With USB OTG support, the phone lists 8GB in-house storage wherein approx 5GB remains free for the end user. Use a microSD card in size of 32GB to expand on board storage.
Snapdragon Processor
The greatness of Snapdragon quad core 410 chipset with 1GB RAM and Adreno 306 graphic processor does help the phone remain the best in terms of performance and gaming. You will not experience hiccup or lag during gaming, multitasking and web-browsing on this phone. Playing of some top level games like Asphalt and Nova are tough, but you can enjoy some action mid-range games in low graphic settings.
