HTC HD7S : $180 (Rs 10,500)

The good: The HTC HD7S offers a sharper Super LCD touch screen with a built-in kickstand. The Windows Phone device ships with the NoDo update, which brings copy-and-paste and performance improvements.

The bad: There was a constant background hiss during phone calls. Camera quality could be better.

The bottom line: The HTC HD7S offers the benefit of a large touch screen with a sharp picture and fast performance, but it falls short of the smartphone competition in terms of camera and call quality.
