Nokia Lumia 900
Expected Launch Date: 28 July, 2012
Nokia has promised to introduce yet another high-end Windows Phone 7.5 based device - Lumia 900, in India. Earlier this month, Nokia announced to launch the Lumia 900 Dark Knight Edition which will be a 3G network support version and not a 4G LTE version for India.
The Lumia 900 has the same Lumia 800 styling and design but will differ in terms of dimensions as well as weight. Lumia 900 features 4.3-inch Amoled capacitive ClearBlack (480x800) display with 217 pixel per inch density. This display gets some strength from the Corning Gorilla Glass display
The Lumia 900 is about 11.5 mm thick and houses a single-core 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8055 mobile processor coupled with 512 MB RAM and 16 GB on-board storage. Running the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango mobile operating system, this phone features other Nokia software apps meant specifically for the Lumia family of smartphones.
At the back lies an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash as well as f/2.2 aperture, capable of recording 720p HD videos as well. There's also a 0.9 megapixel front facing camera capable of video chat. For greater sound output, this phone incorporates Dolby Digital Plus technology and has active noise cancellation. Packing a 1830 mAh battery this smartphone is expected to be available sometime in September.

LG Optimus Vu
LG has recently announced its new Optimus line up in India and the latest entrants were the Optimus 4X HD and mid-range Optimus L5. However, the company also plans to introduce the 5-inch touchscreen display bearing smartphone-tablet hybrid - the Optimus Vu. This smartphone-tablet hybrid is the direct rival of the Samsung Galaxy Note but is going to step in way too late in India.
Under the 8.5-mm think chassis, this hybrid device will house a dual-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon APQ8060 mobile processor along with 1 GB RAM. The Optimus Vu will feature a 5-inch touchscreen IPS display that supports 1024x768 pixel resolution natively. At the back, there is an 8 megapixel camera with LED Flash and capable of recording full HD videos. Meanwhile a front facing 1.3 megapixel camera promises good quality video calling and chat.
By default the Optimus Vu will come with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread with Optimus user interface running on it. LG plans to release the Android 4.0 ICS update for this hybrid some time later this year. The Optimus Vu might feature Near Field Communication, usable with the LG Tags. Other features include the WiFi Direct, e-Compass, GPS with A-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, and USB 2.0 micro USB port.
Packing an 2080 mAh battery, the Optimus Vu certainly looks like a great device but the pricing will be decide its fate against the Samsung Galaxy Note now being made available for Rs 30,000 approximately. However, the company plans to announce the Optimus Vu 2 sometime in August this year which might puzzle the consumers on which device to go for.
