Given the price at which the Shape 5 V3 comes at, there are better options available in the market. The Verico Shape 5 V3 stands nowhere in front of rivals like the Xiaomi Redmi 2 (review) and the Lenovo A6000 (review) which give us better screens, processors and batteries - all at a lower price.

Given the price at which the Shape 5 V3 comes at, there are better options available in the market. The Verico Shape 5 V3 stands nowhere in front of rivals like the Xiaomi Redmi 2 (review) and the Lenovo A6000 (review) which give us better screens, processors and batteries - all at a lower price. The YU Yureka (review) is another good option if shelling out a little extra doesn`t hurt you and you are  okay with the larger screen size. The YU Yureka, which is priced at Rs 8,999, features a 5.5-inch, 720 x 1,280 display, powered by 1.5GHz processor alongside 2GB RAM, 13-megapixel rear camera and a planned upgrade to Android Lollipop. While all these three devices are 4G enabled, the Verico Shape 5 V3 sticks with 3G. The inclusion of a rear touch panel may be something new in the Indian market (at least at this budget) but in terms of ease of use, it is far behind what the company claims. Verico will need to work on equipping its future devices with better specifications and pricing if it wants to make a stand in India`s fiercely competitive budget smartphone category.
