Mobile phones are spelling the doom for standalone music players.
These days, a wide range of budget phones are available which offer great audio quality and decent playback time. Most phones come with a universal 3.5 mm jack which means they can be plugged into external speakers.
Below is a line-up of top 5 music phones under Rs 5k
Nokia X1-01
This is an entry-level Symbian Series 30 phone which comes with an in-built music player. At a little more than Rs 2k, its sound quality can be deemed great. The phone comes with a 3.5 mm jack so it can be plugged into a speaker. It's also a great phone, battery-wise.
Nokia X2-01
This is Nokia's best bet in the Rs 5k price range and also the cheapest QWERTY phone from the company. The phone allows one-touch access to music and FM radio. There is a 3.5 mm jack on the top, so again this one can also be connected to external speakers. Battery doesn't drain out quickly and offers good durations of playbacks.
LAVA M30
This is a great dual-SIM music phone which offers good value for money. It supports audio formats like MP3, MIDI, AMR, WAV & AAC. The audio quality is great, thanks to the onboard Yamaha audio system with SRS Surround Sound. This one too has a 3.5 mm universal jack. And now here comes the icing on the cake: the earphones can split the output to two headphones. This means two persons can listen to the music at the same time.
Samsung Dual Sim Ch@t 222
This four-row QWERTY device which is a part of the famous Samsung Ch@t series, delivers great audio performance. It comes equipped with a special DNSe sound support for music. Audio jack is standard 3.5 mm. Priced at 3,500 INR, this will be giving a “helluav” competition to r the upcoming Nokia X2-01 dual-SIM phone.
Motorola EX115
A lesser-known device, this scores above Ch@t 222 and X2-01 in the sense that it has better resolution and better camera than the two of them. It is prices around Rs 4.5 k and that is a good price to pay for a QWERTY phone which has dual-SIM capacity, great build and awesome sound quality. Head phone jack is standard 3.5 mm. And here's the real deal: It has a 3 megapixel camera.
