For a change, the G2 from LG has come to India within weeks of its global launch. We think that is because LG wants to cash in on the success of the Nexus 4, which has made the brand popular here.

Gadgets and Gizmos compare five latest smartphone offerings from big brands: LG G2, Sony Xperia Z1, BlackBerry Z30, Nokia Lumia 1020 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3.

The Gionee E6 is no iPhone or Samsung S4, but is nothing less as far as performance and looks are concerned.

In this camera shootout, you can see how the LG G2, Sony Xperia Z1, BlackBerry Z30, Nokia Lumia 1020 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 differ while taking the same shots. The test shots are of dawn in Delhi, a long shot of the India Gate and a night shot.

The phone will feature BlackBerry's latest version of its BB 10 operating system and has a 8 mega pixel rear camera.

There isn't any word on the pricing yet, but it is expected to cross the Rs 40,000 mark.

Like other recent flagship Xperia devices, the Z1 is waterproof and dust-proof. The Android smartphone has a 20.7 megapixel camera.
