Countdown: 10 Recently Launched Smartphones


#9 Google Nexus 5

Nexus 5 is one of the most eagerly anticipated devices of 2013. In the past, the Nexus devices only appealed to the nerds, but that trend is fast changing and is largely helped by Google’s incredibly competitive pricing. Coming in 16 GB and 32 GB variants it is priced at Rs 28,999 and 32,999 respectively. This flagship Android Smartphone houses a 4.95-inch Full HD IPS display that has a resolution of 1080x1920p and a pixel density of 445 ppi which is guarded by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. This is the first device to be shipped with Android 4.4 (KitKat) out of the box, and is now upgradable to v4.4.2 which is the latest bug fixed version of the OS, all with a single touch of a button. It is driven by a quad-core 2.3 GHz Krait 400 processor that is paired with an Adreno 330 GPU and 2 GB of RAM.
