Nokia Lumia 820
Street Price: Rs 22,500
The Lumia 820 is a solid piece of hardware with colourful replaceable shells. The handset's AMOLED screen with ClearBlack tech does full justice to Windows Phone UI, which is a mixture of deep blacks and vibrant hues. The Windows Phone 8 OS is not only refreshingly different, but is also very well optimized. The phone is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon S4 chip clocked at 1.5 GHz. Apart from that you get an 8 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB internal storage, microSD card slot, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.1, 1650 mAh battery, and optional wireless (induction) charging accessory. To further sweeten the deal, the Finns offer Nokia Music, HERE Maps, and exclusive camera lenses (software, that is).
Apple iPhone 4 (16 GB)
Street Price: 24,500
This one's for the Apple aspirants. The iPhone 4 features a 3.5" IPS screen with 640x960 pixels. Its compact form-factor makes it perfect for single-handed use. The phone is powered by a 1 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU coupled with PowerVR SGX535 GPU. Now before you frown over its single core processor, let me tell you that the OS is so well optimised that this phone runs smoother than most quad or even octa-core Android devices in the market.

Panasonic P51
Street Price: 22,300
The Panasonic P51 is the only dual-SIM phone to make it to our list in this segment. The handset packs in a 5" HD IPS screen with impressive colour reproduction. The show is run by a MediaTek MT6589 SOC with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU, and PowerVR 544 GPU. The onboard 1 GB of RAM is enough to handle Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) quite well. For photography there's a very good 8 megapixel auto-focus camera. It covers other essentials such as Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS, and has a 2500 mAh battery. So if you're in for a high-end dual-SIM phone, the Panasonic P51 is the way to go. Oh, and it's way better than the Samsung GALAXY Grand.
