Currently almost all telecom operators offer a variety of handsets, including smartphones, with bundled offers. However, a few telcos are offering handsets that are not otherwise available in the market and that are unique to that particular operator. These handsets are also in all respects more attractive as they come with good bundled offers. Here is a list of the top five latest handsets offered by operators, bundled with voice and data benefits.
Tata Docomo Fujitsu F-074
Tata Docomo recently launched this Android 4.0 phone from Fujitsu, which is the number one phone maker in Japan. Named Fujitsu F-074, the phone comes with a 4.0 inch WVGA (800×480 pixel) resolution Amoled display, 1.4 GHz Snapdragon processor, Android 4.0, and a 5 megapixel rear camera.

Another interesting feature is that the brightness of the handset’s display adjusts automatically according to the intensity of sunlight.
And even the sound is automatically adjusted thanks to the Motion Conscious Audio system, which checks the environment and modulates incoming voice to give clear voice quality.
