Dear all,
I've been reading queries about Android one Phones so thought to put my
views:
First, let me tell you that Android One is not a platform but a concept of
Google to provide Pure Android experience as said by Aruni sir on affordable
phones. Under this concept, Google is controlling not only the software
design, but also the hardware specification to be used for these phones. The
manufacturers are bound to follow certain code of conduct while making phone
under AndroidOne program and thus it can be said that one gets Pure Android
experience and a quality hardware which is required to run that OS.
Currently, the latest Android OS is Kitkat 4.4.4 and Android one phone also
run the same OS so tagging these phones with different OS won't be correct.
I've just purchased Micromax Canvis A1 Android One phone and would rate it
completely satisfactory given its price tag. The Interface is nice and apps
run pretty smooth. The Battery consumtion is also very low and 1700MA
Battery is just enough to provide you complete day backup with moderate to
heavy usage. The 1.3 GHG MediaTech processor clubbed with 1GB of RAM is fast
enough to handle your apps and multitasking needs and phone doesn't lag with
Talkback on. the Reer 5MP camera is pretty good for clicking photos but I do
not think it would withstand for our OCR needs. If one planns to purchase
one of the three phones, I'd recommend Micromax because of its design as
compared to its other two competetors from Spice and Carbon. Though Android
One phones roomered to have complete accessibility, I've come across a few
apps such as Messages where few of the buttons are unlabled but you can
surely lable them after getting to know what those buttons do. I am yet to
test its performance on web browsing and will let the list know if I come
across anything weird. Secondly, Micromax clames to provide 4GB of internal
storage but I don't yet know how to access that as plugging to computer only
gives access to SD card and with file explorers like ES File Explorer, File
Manager, and Estro File manager too, I am not able to enter in to the phone
storage.
Lastly, I would request the list to suggest some resource where I can read
some of the Talkback commands with KitKat. If someone has already compiled
something, would apreciate if you could please post it on the list or to my
email directly.
With best regards,
Satguru
