imho ive seen the MMX A1 and the Moto E side by side before,the display on the E isnt so great but its certainly much more readable than the android one series

the only advantage of the A1 series is the camera flash over the Moto E, but its not worth getting A1 over a Moto E or a Zenfone 4

yes the reviews did tell about the inferior display of the android one phones as compared to moto e. the best and the most oft cited highlight of the former was told to be the lag-free experience and google updates (on which the reviews focused the most), the prime features of these phones.
don't know anything about zenfone 4, but it looks good, lit., the 'looks' too i have read (about ZF5) appear premium, and so must be with ZF4 as well. since a front-cam is a reqd. feature for Akshay, that strikes off moto e from the list, and in lumia he hasn't expressed interest. so he's left with A1 and ZF4. however, i see the screen-resolution is similar for both the phones. plus, the stock android UI v/s Zen UI. will have to check a few comparative reviews.

P.S. - how's asus' service? i guess however it may be, must be better than MMX's. don't know how important is this for the OP in this price-segment.

P.S. 2 - lol. found ZF4 too doesn't have a front cam.

what about redmi 2? a bit pricier, and service too nothing worth writing about, but apart from these, looks to be a very good phone.

@a_k_s_h_a_y - check a few reviews on youtube. i watched 2 reviews on android one phones (MMX A1 and Spice Dream Uno) y'day, namely from Kunal Khanna and GeekyRanjit, and reading some comments too therein, my faith's restored! :)
although, comparing say with Moto E, the display is inferior (also, can't play HD videos from YT, but can play sideloaded ones), but the lag-free experience and google updates make the phones esp. at the present price very good to be had! i had written of for what purpose i had purchased the phone and what use would it be put to, and if you too plan to upgrade after some months but need (and not 'want') a good low-budget phone for the time-being under android, then either of the phones should be good.

P.S. - 1 or 2 differences that i noted after watching the reviews and reading the comments, between MMX A1 and SDU, are that the former has wifi-drop issue on lollipop (or kitkat? dont remember) i think, not just on A1, but almost every MMX phone on android K/L, and the other thing is that SDU comes with spice cloud storage (if that matters to you). rest check if you're getting a free MSD card with A1 anywhere. and yes, do get it confirmed about the apps not updating on wifi issue on A1 as tenida had suffered. [MENTION=156122]rdkumthekar[/MENTION] - did your phone have that issue?

and OP, if you're getting moto g 1st gen for less than 8-9k, then simply go for that by spending a bit more.

I have the latest lollipop update 5.1.1 installed and I don't have any issue with WiFi or updating any apps.
