Mobile internet is gaining a wide fanfare and companies are trying to incorporate every known internet technologies possible in Smartphones.
However, the main mobile internet technologies namely 2G and 3G available today have their own limitations of speed and cost respectively.
So, a cost effective and fast method is needed to boost mobile internet and there is no better way than Wi-Fi technology to solve this issue. Today there are thousands of phones offering Wi-Fi internet connectivity but a majority of them are high end models.
So we thought of analysing the market and give you some insights into the world of budget Wi-Fi enabled phones available in the market today.
1. Micromax Q7
It is without a doubt one of the cheapest phones in the world to have Wi-Fi enabled. The dual sim phone has had a long run in the industry and is continuously offering better deals to customers in terms of price reductions but has maintained its feature list throughout.
It comes with a 2 Mega Pixel Camera, audio jacks, multi format music player software, EDGE and Bluetooth connectivity and most importantly offers Wi-Fi internet connectivity. All this comes at a relatively low price of just Rs 3005. The phone also boasts of a long battery life.
2. Spice Mi 280
It is a noteworthy pick among the contenders in this race as it is the only phone in this competition to feature the Android OS along with Wi-Fi internet.
The phone has an impressive feature list that includes
- Android 2.3 Gingerbread OS
- Full touch screen interface
- Rear and Front camera for video calling
- 650 MHz processor along with 200 MHz graphic processor
- Push mail
- GPS with AGPS
- 3G
- Bluetooth
But all these features together do not make the phone an uber expensive one. It is priced economically at Rs 5300 which makes it a Value for Money contender among the lot.
3. Lava B8
Lava has made the B8 one of its most interesting models to date and has equipped the phone with features like a 3.2 Mega Pixel camera, 16 GB expandable memory slot, Java support, Push mail, accelerometer, motion sensitive music player software, powerful and long lasting batteries and many more.
Most importantly the phone offers Wi-Fi internet connectivity. The Lava B8 is priced at just around Rs 3500 which makes it a very economical choice.
4. Samsung Chat 527 S5270
This is a premium phone in this segment if we look at the features offered in it. Samsung has equipped the Chat with 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPRS connectivity in addition to a memory slot that can be upgraded to a maximum of 16GB and boasts of a 2 mega pixel camera as well.
The Chat is priced at Rs 5600 which seems justified since it is a premium phone from a world class mobile phone maker.
5. Spice QT68
Spice did not feel it safe to sit there with just one affordable Wi-Fi model and hence it launched the Spice QT68 which comes with Wi-Fi, expandable memory, Bluetooth and FM radio. The phone is priced very affordably at Rs 3700.
