These are some of the best entry level Android phones you can pick right now.
Nice Information Share, but i am using in after two years Samsung Galaxy, i am decide change mobile set for new series.
Thanks.
complete list of best phones but android one handsets are missing
Android one from Micromax is present in the list. The Android one isnt any good other than the software update. The design, display nor the camera on these Android One phones are great. That is the reason we have included only one Android One phone.
