While it is not a huge leap when compared to its predecessor, the company has succeeded in again taking few steps towards achieving the best smartphone there is in the sub Rs 10k category.

At Rs 8,999 Micromax's 4G phone is pitched against the likes of Xiaomi, OnePlus and Oppo. But will it steal the limelight from these budget-smartphone worthies?
Lenovo's fortunes and portfolio have been gathering pace especially since the release of the K3 Note, and the company has even declared that they do not plan on letting Lenovo branded phones play a second fiddle to their Motorola siblings. With the release of Lenovo's Vibe X3, the company seems to be coming good on that promise.
However, considered its high price of Rs 25k, Chinese smartphones like Xiaomi Mi4 and Oppo's One Plus One can dent the Japanese phone's popularity.
A finely crafted phone, a brilliant display, a very impressive low light camera performance, and the polished OS with guaranteed updates makes the One A9 an option for those who value quality all around.
6GB RAM, 16MP camera, Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor... Himanshu Juneja reviews the OnePlus 3
The Moto G4 Plus is a worthy consideration under the Rs 15,000 budget, but users looking for a better build quality and more processing power will do well to opt for either Xiaomi Redmi Note 3, or even the ZUK Z1, says Himanshu Juneja
Here is a comparative analysis of iPhone 6 Plus against other leading phablets available in the market...
The Oppo N3 lacks the punch for its premium pricing and one could rather go for Sony Xperia Z3 and save some cash for accessories, says Himanshu Juneja
A few critical shortcomings and a possible pricing blunder on the 64 GB (Rs 23,999) capacity model might just take the wind out of the sales of Xiaomi's latest offering.
Fortnightly updates, brilliant display, a fantastic camera and satisfying battery back up, makes this 5.2-inch phone HTC's saviour.
Seems like the marquee product from the software giant have finally landed.
The price tag of Rs 52,990 seems a bit off. Samsung Galaxy S7 has positioned itself as the flagship to beat, and with the very capable HTC 10 on the prowl, LG should have been proactive and imaginative with the pricing. A price tag of Rs 45,000 would have truly given the fillip to the first modular phone in the market, says Himanshu Juneja
At Rs 32,500, the 4G-enabled Samsung Galaxy A8 is only for dyed-in-the-wool fans, says Himanshu Juneja

Coming from the debacle of Xperia Z3+, Sony needed to bring out a product which would not only restore users' faith, but also get it back in the game with a bang. And the Xperia Z5 Dual does it remarkably well for Sony.
But if one can grab an invite, OnePlus 2 is the best smatphone within the sub-Rs 25,000 budget.
With a passable built material, and decent battery back up, the chances of the phone commanding premium price dwindled quite early. Anybody with a budge of thirty thousand plus will gladly go for something more worthy like Moto X Style
How capable is the latest mobile phone from the Nexus bloodline? Himanshu Juneja reviews the Nexus 6P.
It's not just the price! These smartphones come loaded with great features too.
The concerns regarding the leather durability and omissions of the plastic back panel will surely come to haunt LG. Combine all this with an asking price of Rs ~50,000 and the lurking news of touchscreen issues, LG has pretty much a hot potato on its hands!
