Smartphone Recommendation List

Pick a phone, check specification and price, compare the phone with other phones on our list, click on e-commerce link and make a purchase. It is this simple! You do not have to think about opening multiple websites (few for specifications, few for pricing, few for recommended phones). You get all of them from us. We have now added a new section that showcases upcoming smartphones that ‘may’ make it to the main list. This is the ‘Smartphone Recommendation List’. There are dozens of brands and hundreds of smartphones available in the Indian market these days. Picking an ideal smartphone from the vast number of models is more difficult than searching for a needle in a haystack. To make the task easier, We have compiled a list of smartphones that will make it easy for new smartphone buyers to select the ideal smartphone. With this list, your search is narrowed down from hundreds of smartphones to less than 40. Take a look and spread the word. Do not go by which site has the least price. Do check out if there is an additional discount on credit/debit cards, usually 10% and that makes a difference. Also, some sites offer better and lower EMI rates. Head to this page for recommended Android applications list.

We put a lot of time and effort to compile this list so that every smartphone buyer benefits. Do note that the price details are taken from the last week of 2023 and may not match the actual price listed on the site as of now. Also, specification pages are new on our site and some products may not show up. All you need to do is to give us a poke on Twitter or Facebook or comment on this page and we will add the page for you. Your feedback is important to us. Please share the link to as many as you can and provide feedback in the comments section. If you like this page, please spread the word.
