4. 4G for those who are Speed Addicts:

If you want that your smartphone should access internet faster than you broadband connection, then wait a bit for the 4G smartphones to hit the market. In Indian 2G was a super-hit, but 3G never made that big and the service providers are now stepping into 4G whose fate time can only tell.

Pros: If you have 3G you will be getting a speed of 50kbps to 3Mbps, but with 4G you can have 40Mbps speed which is incredible in the real-world scenario. All your internet surfing, downloading, social networking, mobile shopping will reach a whole new level with the 4G.

Cons: The 4G network in India is not LTE, but it is TD-LTE which means the mobile manufactures have to do some hardware changes in their devices if they want to launch a functional 4G smartphone in Indian market because presently all the 4G devices are catered to operate only with LTE networks. Moreover, presently only Kolkata has the 4G network which got launched a few days back by Airtel. The next city to have this high-speed network is supposed to be Bangalore and this technology will take some time to be fully functional all over the country.
