The last word

This concludes our list of phones that cost less than Rs 6,000. Although most of them have cameras, do remember that these are VGA cameras and the photographs taken look best only on the phone screen. Try zooming the images on your PC, and they may distort. Another downside is these mobile phones don't have a memory slot, forcing you to stick to the limited inbuilt memory throughout the life cycle of the phone.
