The mobile phone was intended for mainly portable communication between people. Well that was what it was invented for. But it is not the case today as Mobile phones find much more application in our daily routine than just help us do the talking.
It is more of a lifestyle gadget that serves multiple needs all in one. Mobile phones are used for needs like listening to music, watching videos, sharing files, taking pictures, surfing the internet and lots more.
With mass manufacturing and presence of local manufacturers increasing in the market, these features have found their way into even budget phones. Today we take a look at such a segment and in particular budget phones offering quality music output.
So here are our picks of the top Music phones under Rs. 5000 in India.
1. Spice M-6464
Equipped with a that enables you to broadcast your own frequency via the MP3 player software in it and fitted with a powerful Yamaha amplifier, the music features offered by the Spice M-6464 is hard to ignore.
What is more exciting is that the phone offers up to 8 GB of external memory expansion via a Micro SD slot and a 2 mega pixel camera that can also serve the function of a webcam. All this comes at a price tag of just Rs 3350. How could we possibly avoid this from our list, though Spice is not everyone’s favourite brand.
2. Micromax M2
Micromax has done their homework well and is today among the best in house brands of the country in terms of mobile phones and the Micromax M2 is a good example of how much committed Micromax is to the Indian market.
