ANDROID PHONES WITH FRONT CAMERA

List of Android phones with front camera
In most of the high end phones front camera is available. So the confusion is in the case of low end smartphones only. Also for making video call, now you can see front cameras of VGA, 0.3MP, 2.0MP capacities. Here I am mainly listing low and mid end android smartphones with front camera.

Sony Ericson Live with Walkman
Sony Ericson Live with Walkman (Rs.14500)
This is a phone recently released by Sony Ericson recently for music lovers. It also offers very good specifications for this price. 1GHz processor and Adreno GPU, 512MB RAM, 5MP primary camera with 720p video recording, 380MB internal storage and a 0.3MP front camera for video calling.
It runs on Android 2.3 Ginger bread. But the user opinion comes with thumbs down to battery. A battery of 1200mAh is not enough to run such a great specification for a long time
Motorola Fire XT
Motorola Fire XT (Rs. 12500)
This Motorola phone came to the market after the acquisition of Motorola by Google. This phone runs on an 800MHz processor and Adreno GPU. It also offers 512MB RAM and ROM, with 150MB internal memory. 5MP auto focus primary camera and 0.3MP secondary front camera is also available making the phone capable of making video call.
It also runs on Android 2.3. The screen resolution and display are a bit down compared to Sony Ericson Live with Walkman. But you can get a price reduction of Rs.1500 is there compared to live with walkman . It comes with a more powerful battery. Li-ion battery of 1390mAh is enough to withstand one days heavy usage.
Micromax superfone A75
Micromax Superfone A75 (Rs.8900)
Micromax is famous for releasing phones to market at such a low price that no other company can release such one. Similarly in Superfone lite A75 also you can find specifications that you can find only in double cost phones of other companies. Usually the problem of Micromax phones is the cheap build quality of the phone materials. But in this phone they have succeeded in providing stunning look
This phone runs on a 650MG processor on Android 2.3. It posses 256MB RAM, 3MP camera and a 0.3MP secondary camera for video calling. Another one attractive feature of this phone is that it is a dual SIM phone
Spcie MI 350n
Spice MI 350 N (Rs. 7800)
This is another dual SIM Android phone with front camera. It has a 650MHz processor and android 2.3. primary camera is of 3.2MP and secondary camera is of 0.3MP. The battery is 1400mAh, which is a big plus point, as it is a dual SIM phone, it will drain battery soon, but this high capacity battery compared to other phones, will help you last long
Micromax A70
Micromax A70 (Rs. 7500)
It is another phone from Micromax, for those who want good specification at low price. It runs on a 600MHz processor in Android 2.3. It possess a 5MP primary camera and a 0.3MP secondary camera allowing you to make video call. It also possess, good battery power of 1450mAh.

Spice MI 280 (Rs.5300)
It is the cheapest android phone allowing you to make video call, currently available in market. It runs on a 650MHz processor with Android 2.3. It is a dual SIM phone also.
But the 2.8 inch screen is small and is a let down. Also the battery is only 1000mAh, which will surely question your backup as this is a dual SIM phone. Primary camera is of 3.2MP and secondary camera is of 0.3MP
There are many other low priced phones below Rs.20000 with front camera allowing you to make video call. As secondary camera is common in this price range and above, I am not giving detailed description
Sony Ericson SK17i - Rs-16000
Sony Ericson Xperia Neo Mini -Rs-18000
