Low cost Andorid smartphone 2014/10

Micromax, Karbonn and Spice have released the first phones under the Android One program. The three phones—Micromax Canvas A1, Karbonn Sparkle V and Spice Dream UNO—range in price from Rs 6299 to Rs 6499 (US$102 to US$106). The program, initiated by Google, is to provide low-cost phones for the “Next Billion” smartphone users whose budgets have not allowed them to purchase capable smartphones. The idea is to provide a simple user interface using a stripped down (but fast) version of Android, called Android L, on sub-US$100 handsets.
That goal may have been a bit ambitious, though Google has hit close to the mark. The phones start at US$105 (Rs 6,399), not quite meeting the sub-US$100 goal. In addition, the centerpiece of the user experience—Android L—will also not be a part of the initial release. Instead, the phones will ship with Google’s most recent Android release, version 4.4.4 (KitKat). It is unclear if the operating system’s more power-hungry features will cause problems on the phone. The Android L OS will be automatically installed on user phones in the coming months.
The phones are powered by a MediaTek quad-core chipset, though competitor Qualcomm has also expressed a desire to become a part of the program. The phones also include 4.5in sub-HD displays, dual SIM cards, FM radio, and a 5MP camera.
Google has also signed up HTC, Lava, Xolo and Asus to make phones under the program. In addition, the phones are expected to be sold in Indonesia and the Philippines next year. Accessory makers and buyers should pay close attention to sales of these phones—India’s market is one of the largest and least-tapped smartphone markets in the world—and they may be a bellwether for sales of similarly-priced phones in other nations.
