The smartphone war within the mobile world has extended to the next level.
Earlier, the basic features were given more emphasis by the mobile companies. Various mobile companies would enhance different features in their devices to lure people into buying them. In the present era, it is not only the features but also the specifications of the handset that are taken into account by the people, before they actually purchase a mobile handset.
