6. HTC Desire 820s:

The HTC Desire 820s is the newer variant of the Desire 820. The Desire 820 already packed great specs and features and the 820s carries forward the same design but with improved performance. Let’s start with the design, it has the exact same design of the Desire 820. The body measures 7.74mm and is built with plastic which attracts fingerprints, it looks beautiful but doesn’t feel very premium. It runs on the Octa-core 1.7 GHz Mediatek MT6752 Processor coupled with 2 GB RAM which gives good performance and the phone runs smoothly. It has a 5.5 inches screen with the screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels which turns out 267 ppi pixel density, in total it is a decent display but a better screen could have made the phone perfect as this is the only factor where the phone scores average otherwise it’s great. The phone has a 13 MP rear camera and 8 MP front camera (selfie lovers can jump out of their seat!) Both the cameras are very good. The phone is decent on storage also. It has 16 GB internal storage which is expandable upto 32 GB. The Desire 820s has also got a decent battery life with the 2600 mAh battery. It supports Dual-sim and is 4G (LTE) capable. Overall, the HTC Desire 820s can be a very good choice if you want a beautiful phone with good performance from a reputed international brand like HTC.

7. Samsung Galaxy E7:

Samsung has rejuvenated its smartphone line up in India. It has launched number of new smartphones across price ranges. The Samsung Galaxy E7 is one of its good new launches. It is powered by the popular Snapdragon 410 Processor paired with 2 GB RAM. The performance of the phone is decent, its smooth, fast and lag-free but it’s not meant for heavy usage. One thing which is very impressive in the Samsung Galaxy E7 is its display quality. It sports a 5.5 inches Super AMOLED screen with 720 x 1280 pixels turning out 267 ppi pixel density, though these numbers are not very good for a 5.5 inches phone, the display quality is very impressive. The phone is also excellent in the camera department. It has a 13 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera, the picture quality of both the cameras is very good even at night. The phone supports Dual Sim but misses out on 4G, it has 16 GB internal storage which is expandable upto 64 GB but, there is a catch – the sim 2 slot is also used as the slot for SD card so at a time you can either use the second sim or the external memory card. Overall, it is very good device and can be a great choice if you want a large 5.5 inches screen phone with decent performance from a highly reputed brand like Samsung which provides the best after sales service. The Samsung Galaxy A5 can also be a good alternative to the Galaxy E7 if you want a 5 inches phone, it also supports 4G.
