As the mobile screens are getting bigger in size, consumers are also expecting displays to get better to enjoy rich content on the go. Though there are a handful of full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) smartphones available in the market, none of these will appeal to the budget conscious consumers as they cost a bomb.

Thankfully, some Indian and Chinese smartphone manufacturers have woken up to the challenge and are now offering HD smartphones (720x1280 pixels) in India for under Rs. 20,000.

Here is a list of a few interesting smartphones (in no particular order) that you might like to look at if you are planning to buy a smartphone with an HD display.
