HTC One S
'One' More Delight
Here is another One from HTC, and this one is called the HTC One S. A stunner in the looks department, this Android Ice-Cream Sandwich phone has brains too. It features a 1.7 GHZ dual-core processor coupled with a 1GB RAM, a thin 7.7 mm unibody design and a responsive 4.3-inch touch display. The improved features are apparent while web browsing or while watching YouTube videos. The 8 MP camera boasts zero shutter lag and can also record full HD videos. Plus, there is 'Beats Audio' as in other HTC phones. The One S comes with 16 GB of internal memory and has an impressive one-day battery backup.
+ve: Design, Faster than most phones
-ve: No expandable memory, Non-removable battery
Price: Rs 33,560

Nikon D3200
The Big Picture
An entry-level DSLR with a 24.2 megapixel (MP) DX-format CMOS image sensor is rare. Entry-level cameras rarely have such high resolution. Indeed, the Nikon D3200 is currently the only one of its kind. It is ultra lightweight, weighing just 505 gm, and has a viewfinder as well as a three-inch LCD monitor which you can use for live views and for shooting videos. The new sensor completely obliterates background noise. You can crop any part of the frame to make a highresolution picture. It is also high speed, thanks to the EXPEED 3 image-processing engine. There are loads of other features that make it ideal for beginners.
+ve: 24 megapixel sensor, Easy to use
-ve: A bit too light, No dedicated ISO button
Price: Rs 37,950
