Android one Confusion

[makwanamilan96]

At the launching time all 3 android one device price was similar. but now they are selling at diff price.
and karbonn android one which was launched on snapdeal is being sold at 4790 with free 8 GB memory card.

After watching lots of review all says performance is similar as hardware is similar for all theree devices.

will any one tell me why karbonn android one price is lower now ?

TBH, current android one devices aren't worth it. Its better to spend a little bit more and get Redmi 1s or Lenovo A6000.

you are right but you forgot to answer my question

When a said product isn't selling well at a given price, the OEM reduces the price so that it may seem VFM compared to other similar products. Either this or the product is going to be discontinued and the OEM wants to clear the stocks ASAP.

I quite agree,Android One isnt worth it,you might as well shell out a bit more and get Moto E1 or E2(coming soon) ,Yureka,Redmi 1s,Lumia or zenfone

Spend a few more bucks and get Moto E 2014 or Redmi 1S (I prefer the Moto E though).

Between those three Karbonn and spice has better build quality and they are cheaper than MMX too.If i were you I would get Karbonn.for around 5k no phone can beat it.

About price MMX is better known to Indians So they tag it with higher price otherwise they all have same hardware.

^ I'd increase my budget to 6k and get Redmi 1s instead.

Getting a redmi 1s will be better worth of your money.

android one is rather half baked,get Redmi,Yureka,Lumia or Zenfone instead

android one "was" great project at launch... but now everything is getting complicated... but it's mainly for those who want OS updates regularly and don't know about flash, rom etc etc...

Wait for second fleet of one devices. I am waiting for a better manufacturer to provide a proper one device.

Moto E don't have front cam lacks auto focus camera and flash if you can increase your budget to 6k then get redmi 1s else Karbonn sparkel V.

^quality is a concern...

I saw the ad y'day. Seems InFocus is an subsidiary of Foxconn.
