Moto G
Moto G has taken the Indian market by storm and has allowed the consumers to be treated to an experience that was possible only in the high end smartphones. It is one of the few devices in the sub Rs 15,000 to run Android KitKat (there are hardly any) and its sales numbers have shown what the smartphone is capable of. Here are its brief specifications:
4.5 inch display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels and Gorilla Glass 3 on top of it
1.2 GHz quad core Snapdragon 400 processor
Adreno 305 GPU

2. Lenovo K900 (Rs 18,999)
Lenovo K900
Lenovo K900 was launched last year as a rival to the much famed Note 3 but despite having a good spec sheet, its sales could never take off courtesy of the high pricing. Well, Lenovo has given the device numerous price cuts post which it surely makes a lot of sense in the sub Rs 20,000 price category. Here’s a look at its brief specifications:
5.5 inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 on top of it
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

2GB RAM
32GB internal storage, non expandable
13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 2MP front camera
The BlackBerry flagship was launched last year at a ridiculously high price of Rs 43,490. But BlackBerry soon realised that it was not going to sell too many units and the price came down to Rs 17,990 earlier this year and it has been selling like hot cakes ever since. The smartphones comes across as a good value for money device at this price point. Let us have a look at its specifications:

4. Micromax Canvas Knight (Rs 19,999)
Micromax Canvas Knight
The Canvas Knight is by far the most expensive handset in Micromax’s line-up but it surely provides a bang for every buck spent on it. Retailing at Rs 19,999, it still comes across as one of the better octa core devices on sale in India despite the competition touching lower price points in the segment. The build quality is surely on the better side and Micromax seems to have done a good job with the device. Let us take a look at its specifications:
5 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels
