Make Way the LORD is Here
^^ manufacturers are trying to make money. thats all.
LWW was easily available for 12.5k sometime back in stores around the country.
today i had a long conversation with a friend of mine. the topic was the SOC being used in current android. earlier it was ARM11 (optimus net, wildfire s, galaxy ace) under 15k, ARM Cortex A8 (defy plus, optimus black)/Qualcomm Scorpion (whole Xperia lineup, desire s, incredible s) in the 15-20k and above that was the dual core version of A8 & scorpion or recently A9 (atrix2, Xperia U/Sola/Go, etc). Cortex A5 was developed with the intent of replacing the ageing ARM11 but it ended up replacing ARM11, Cortex A8 and everyone's favorite Qualcomm Scorpion also. Now if you look at the market, specially in 15-20k section: Galaxy S Duos, Desire V, Optimus L9, Desire X, Xperia J all these pack the slow Cortex A5 based processor. If that was not sufficient, GPU is Adreno 200 i.e. from Adreno 205 we are going back to Adreno 200. It fees like a joke, why will anyone go back to slow hardware when they can afford decently fast ones. 10-15k section is overflowing with all sort of crap mobiles packing big screen but equally poor internals. It feels really strange why manufacturers are taking this kind of move dropping such poor hardware at 15-20k. I'll buy a 2yr old Galaxy S instead of hypercrap mobiles like L7 & Xperia J.
ajay is absolutely right. Xperia Mini, LWW pack strong hardware (not equal to Xperia U though) for their price. Best joke is definitely Optimus L7, Galaxy S Duos & Xperia J. They pack WVGA/WXVGA resolution with Adreno 200. It'll be fun to play games like NFS Most Wanted or Dead Space at 2-3FPS. Actually this will help future buyers who have the mentality of "1Ghz processor is best" when their 1Ghz processor based mobiles start to fail.
How about HTC Explorer ? Does it have HD Recording ?
congrats. lol most mobiles are marked made in china. it is perfectly fine.
Congrats Bro ... Please post a review of the phone
just grab any Class 4 16GB card. But try not to go below Class4.
no. thats not possible. 16GB card itself cost so less that anything below 4GB is useless.
they have strong presence here but no idea how reliable they are. Even Transcend or Sandisk have really bad service. Just grab the cheapest deal you can find.
