While Finnish Mobile giants Nokia has lost its edge to Korean rivals and Apple in recent times, it is planning a big comeback with its Windows based Lumia series of smartphones. Industry experts agree that after a tepid response to First Lumia models, Nokia has got things right with Lumia 920 which boasts of a great screen and stellar imaging capabilities. The camera used in Lumia 920 has the much touted Pureview technology, which improves real life shooting capabilities.

Other contenders to the iPhone 5 are HTC’s Windows 8 smart phones and the newest kid on the block RIM’s Blackberry Z10. Most of these phones are priced competitively to compete with Apple’s offering. While the latter is yet to be properly reviewed, Blackberry lovers are excited about the capabilities of RIM’s revamped OS. HTC’s Android phones from its Desire series can be your pick as well, if you are not a Windows OS admirer. So, if you think the iPhone 5 is beyond your budget or overpriced for its specs, you can still take pick from other contenders in market.
