Ok, we agree! Android does rule the world, but for people who always look for a change, Windows Phones are the best choice than the costly iPhones and BlackBerrys, at least in India.
However, the unavailability of hardware varieties might be the only reason dragging back the Windows Phones. The high end Smartphones in this platform still run on dual core processors and mediocre screen resolutions while the Androids are exploiting octa-core processors and full HD displays. But there is a catch; the Widows Phone OS is way too optimized than the Android to run on medium resources.
So if you are a member of Windows fanfare or a mobile enthusiast who needs a change from the labyrinth of Android handsets, here are some best, affordable options in the Windows Phone category for you.
