Google unveiled the Android One initiative at its annual developers conference in June with Micromax, Karbonn, and Spice confirmed as the launch partners. Under the programme, manufacturers benefit from lower cost of development, by sharing integration and testing resources with Google. Android One customers are promised regular software updates, so this sounds like a win-win, at least on paper.

Good Phone

Sreedhar Aravindd (Oct 17, 2014) on Gadgets 360

I received this phone earlier today, and I must say this is a good phone. Good value for money, plus amazing features which runs Android One. Thankfully no "clutter apps" to slow down and mess with my decent usage. Good work Google, and thanks Karbonn. Bought this from Snap Deal.

Good one!

Sri S (Sep 22, 2014) on Gadgets 360

LIke anyother andriod phone it is pretty decent phone for 6.5K, using it for 2 days in row so far no lag or app freezing troubles or phone over heating etc. If you need a phone for basic use with great camera (thou its 5MP, it has preinstalled cam modes not usually seen on all andriod phones, thats like a bonus and played with it and i liked it), loud speaker, simple and sweet phone (1.3GHZ QUAD and 1GB RAM) then go for it. The only trouble i have had is to hold this phone, too small for my hand. i wish it was 5.5 inch. Consider : Why did you choose this rating ? For the price tag attached for this phone its best in its class. What did you like or dislike? Like -> Simple design, light weight, camera options, loud speaker, call calrity while travelling at high speed. Dislike -> Size, the front panel launch buttons are inside the screen eatting up display space,
