iPhone 5S: Rs 53,500 (16GB), Rs 62,500(32GB) and Rs 71,500(64GB)

 The Apple iPhone 5S comes with IPS LCD LED-backlit touch display of 4 inches, Apple A7 chipset and Cyclone 1.3 GHz dual core processor, 1 GB RAM, 16/ 32/64 GB internal memory, 8MP rear camera and a 1.2 MP secondary camera. It runs on iOS7 and features the much famed fingerprint scanner. It may be the best smartphone on sale but its price has made it most overpriced smartphone of 2013. Rs 71,500 for a smartphone? Are you serious?

Galaxy Note 3: Rs 49,900 (price dropped to Rs 45,000 later on)

The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 features Super AMOLED full HD display of 5.7 inches, Exynos 5 Octa 5420 chipset, 3 GB RAM, 16/ 32/ 64 GB internal memory, 13MP rear camera and 2 MP secondary camera. Connectivity bases are all taken care of but the price wasn’t. The launch price of this smartphone was Rs. 49,990 while its predecessor was selling for about Rs 28,000.

Lumia 1520: Rs 46,999

The Nokia Lumia 1520 comes with LCD IPS touch display of 6 inches, Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset and Krait 400 2.2 GHz quad core processor, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, 20MP rear camera and 1.2MP secondary camera. The launch price of this mobile phone was Rs. 46,999. Yes it is the best Nokia has ever made but can Nokia afford to charge a premium at which stage it is? I highly doubt that.
