at 18k, dual core based mobile will be there. so single core mobile have to happy with 15k price tag.
HTC Sensation already sells for less. also HTC One X will cost ~35k when launched (MRP is 37k). so i expect a 25k pricetag.
Xperia S beats One S in everything so 30k is a valid pricing.
i really hope those prices will come true. if someone like HTC priced phones so cheap, then what can we expect from Samsung, LG or Motorola.
BTW which Dual core mobile @ 18K will be there?

and despite having HD Resolution & Higher Res Camera, Xperia S will be still having older dual core scorpion Vs One S Krait. Xperia S hardware is same as that of Sensation or SGS2. I may be wrong about 30K price for Xperia S, coz thats directly converted from british pound, So we can add few more thousands to it, may be 33 to 35K.

currently priced at 18k @ flipkart but its forthcoming. so there will be pricecut once it is launched. also it has many weak points. like a normal screen, same resolution as Neo V, no secondary cam. HTC has pit it directly against Neo V.

currently none. LG Optimus 2X was there but it is discontinued now. but i expect Xperia U to be priced at 18k. the screen is really small.

yes, i missed that part. thanks for pointing :)
Xperia S have old hardware. well Sony is known to use some really old H/W.
still above 30k, it may step into Samsung Galaxy S3's way which many say will have killer specs. both inside and outside.

I am still pessimistic about HTC pricing phones so well. From what i know in indian market, HTC & Sony are pricing their phones higher than Samsung/LG/Motorola. HTC Explorer Pricing is definite surprise for me, I always feel we are paying a bit higher for HTC Sense & Sonys gorgeous looks.
Consider HTC Rhyme, Desire S, Incredible S- they are all priced on a bit higher side. In a pricing war, HTC is always last to bring down the prices while LG, Samsung, Moto react well on time.

I was really surprised with HTC Explorer, trying to beat all the Sub-10K phones with better hw. But how many people would realise that Explorer has got better hw that Galaxy Y, Optimus Net. Explorer did not get the promotion that Galaxy Y got, surely it will be difficult to challenge Samsungs Y in Indian market despite having better hw, thanks the Galaxy brand dominating smartphone right now.

HTC is struggling because they are unable to match the prices of Samsung and still get decent margins, their profits are falling with Android business, Sony Ericsson is in losses. LG got profits from phone business after seven quarters, Moto has modest profits. The only Co making lots of money on Android is Samsung.

yes most HTC & Sony mobiles are overpriced. but there are also mobile where they offer unbeatable value like HTC Explorer, Sensation and Sony Ericssion Xperia Neo V, Xperia Pro. also you get timely update which Samsung, LG & Motorola will never ever provide.

yes, thats true. HTC is mainly focused in US. here most of their mobiles are priced high.

Explorer has better hardware as well as better looks.
