"Here are the most affordable yet capable 4G-enabled smartphones currently in India" With 4G becoming more readily available and affordable, there’s no reason to not taste the super-fast speeds that this technology has to offer. All you need is a 4G-enabled handset and you are good to go (you also need a 4G network and a compatible SIM of course). But wait, isn’t that, well…expensive? Nope.

                   Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson’s big comeback could come from this Android 2.3 “Gingerbread” phone with a razor-sharp screen, spectacular camera, and the ability to be manipulated by your TV’s remote control. While the company told us it wants to sell this phone here in the U.S, we’ve put it in last place on this list because Sony Ericsson has a lousy track record of getting its phones picked up by U.S. carriers.
