Android one will (is) be a big game changer. The main complaints with these companies were the lack of proper updates and service. With the updates complaints taken care of, these companies can now focus on improving customer service.
2 years guaranteed updates is a big thing for a budget smartphone. Sony, Samsung don't even provide proper updates for their mid range phones.

I was pretty much decided on getting this one. Then I read some reviews over the net and now thinking again. If I really like this I was planning to buy 3 for family members.

triple win for you. excellent review, excellent phone, excellent scores.

PS: Mali-400 MP2 may be old but if it scores close to Moto G, you take home the prize considering the latter cost 2 times more. BTW, can 3G be turned on in both sims at the same time?

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your comment & we're glad you liked Dream UNO.
3G is available for both the SIMs on #SpiceAndroidOne. But, data on 3G can be active only on one SIM at a time.

Well buddy you are getting full 2 years of updates, that too Stock Android ROMs. After two years you get worried about custom roms.
You are already getting more than you ask. Considering identical build of these phones, once more players like ASUS, HTC come in, custom ROMS won't be hard to find.
XDA developers will be the place. But be content with the fact that you get guaranteed 2 years of updates from a 6k device. Something like this hasn't happened before until now. :)

Ajay, it's been close to a week now since i've been using it. Believe me, it doesn't feel like a 6k device.
The user experience is on par with upper midrange phones. I would say even better. I haven't experienced a single lag yet.
Tried 1080p videos for over an hour. Phone has no heating issues. Considering Galaxy S3 has A9 quadcore and same GPU, Android One performs better.
Chrome performs flawlessly. You just need to experience it to believe. :)

I may finally end up buying 3 phones. So I was thinking is it better to buy all three models or buy same model 3 Pieces.

Nice review Vicky.
A friend is thinking of getting an Android One. I know the phones are identical. But which company has the best after sales service among the three?
