With Android smartphones getting bigger by the day, Sony s Xperia Z3 Compact is one of the few smartphones that maintains some kind of sanity. It is for this reason; the smartphone is described as the iPhone of the Android world. Speaking of which, Apple s new iPhone 6 is now available in India as well, and not surprisingly comparisons are being made between the two. We compare the two smartphones on the basis of their specifications and features.

If recent reports are to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has been a runaway success globally. It has been the most successful Galaxy launch and already accounts for approximately one percent of all Android smartphones. But priced above Rs 50,000, there are many skeptics out there, (including my editor) who wonder if a smartphone is worth spending that much money. That's where OnePlus One comes into the picture. Announced yesterday, the smartphone is already being called the "flagship killer" as it offers similar hardware specifications as flagship smartphones at less than half of the price. Let's have a look if the flagship killer has what it takes to unsettle the segment leaders.
HTC launched three phones in India today the Desire 210, the Desire 816, and the flagship One (M8). While the company seems to have got it right with the pricing of all three phones, it remains to be seen how the offering in the most price sensitive segment fares. We are talking about the Desire 210, which at Rs 8,700, has the Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2 priced at Rs 8,500 in sight. We take a look at the features and the specifications of the two devices:
Microsoft released Windows Phone 8.1 Developers Preview yesterday and much of the talk since then has surrounded Cortana. WPCentral has now uploaded an extensive video comparison of Cortana going up against Apple s Siri and Google Now. We have seen Cortana perform on stage at BUILD 2014 and in several YouTube videos, but the comparison video shows how it works in real world.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is positioned right on the top of the smartphone range, competing with other flagship smartphones like the Apple iPhone 5S, the HTC One (M8) and the upcoming Sony Xperia Z2. While the iPhone 5S is a great phone but the Samsung offers a host of important features that the iPhone doesn't. Let's see how large the difference between the two is, in terms of usability.
Lava today launched the Iris Pro 20, the second smartphone in its Iris Pro premium range of smartphones. With a price tag of Rs 13,499, the device falls in the same price bracket as the highly popular Motorola Moto G. If you are in the market for a mid-range Android smartphone and have to choose between the two, let s see what device you should put your money on.
Gionee's latest offering, the Elife S5.5, is also the slimmest in the world. And while the Elife E7 (positioned a bit higher) can't beat it on physical attributes, let's see if it makes any sense to spend the extra money on the E7.
While we are still awaiting the official announcement, HTC's Desire 310 has been listed on online retailer Snapdeal's website for a price of Rs 11,350. Earlier this year HTC had mentioned it will become more active in the mid-end segment in order to get its shipment numbers up and become more aggressive. However, the Desire 310 is anything but competitive.
Samsung Galaxy S5, the first of the 2014's flagship smartphones announced at the Mobile World Congress, has made its way to India. Prices for the same start at about Rs 51,000, but that's almost a Rs 10,000 premium over the Galaxy S4's introductory price last year. Let's have a look, if apart from inflation, there's anything else that justifies the higher price tag of the Galaxy S5.
