Re: Mobile Buying Guide

so, as per GPU performance reference chart Adreno 330 is the fastest/best GPU right now?
what about Power VR SGX544MP4?

with all those tampered and cheated benchmarks that benchmark list is kind of wasted effort by me. Still, Adreno 800 looks to be ahead of SGX544MP4.

Sam in your table

Spoiler:
Sony Xperia ZL: Packs same hardware as LG Nexus 4 but with a waterproof body and a memory card slot. If possible increase budget by 3-4k and jump to next section.

I guess u meant ZR

Also in Indian brands of your personal choice u missed 5-10k range

Thx for your guide :)

Q700 IMO as it cheaper and comes with 4.2 out of the box and has 5mp cam
Q800 has same specs as Q700 but comes with 4.1 and has 8mp cam

So if you dont care about camera too much then go for Q700

thanks for pointing out. fixed

Nokia Lumia 920 Price in India - Buy Nokia Lumia 920 White Online - Nokia: Flipkart.com

Is there some catch ?

HTC 8X is selling for sub 20k, so maybe Microsoft removed the licensing fee to promote WP8. or maybe Nokia will discontinue 920 in favor of 925. with 1020 taking 925's place.

Query......correct me if I am wrong the only diff btw 925 and 920 is screen and build and for that there is like 7k price gap..?
But that make lumia 920 a good buy and funny part is lumia 820 is available for 20k

Panasonic T11 & Sony Xperia C

925 has a bigger sensor. but the non-expandable memory with only 16GB storage is definitely a deal breaker.

Panasonic T11 & Sony Xperia C

slightly better processor (same variant) and higher resolution screen. Still 19k is way too much for XC. Somewhere around 15-16k would have been appropriate.
