Since the price of the Galaxy Express isn’t known yet, it’s hard for us to say exactly which smartphones it will be competing with. But considering the obvious mid-range specifications, we think the Express will be priced around Rs. 20,000. For this price range, you can consider the Sony Xperia P, or the HTC Desire SV (dual-SIM). If you are looking for alternatives that don’t run on Android, you can take a look at the HTC Windows Phone 8S, which is priced under the Rs. 20,000 price point.
