With Android growing without a looking back, people in India are often found more interested in budget-savvy mobile phones. So here I am coming to you reviewing 3 entry-level mobile phone available in India and running Android OS.

The three handsets I am talking about are: Micromax Andro, Samsung Galaxy Pop (confirmed the price in Pune, courtesy the Mobile Store) and Dell XCD 28. Let me list down a few major features of these mobile sets.

Ofcourse, all the above 3 phones supports 3G network, Bluetooth as well as WiFi connectivity. I hope this will give you a brief idea about the mobile handsets in the Android range. Keep commenting and do suggest if you want me to cover any specific topics.

    “Some people like the Apple, while some may like the Orange”. No two people can like everything same in this World. I would suggest analyze your complete requirement first, and then chose an OS. I am a Nokia lover and hence I bought an E-5 even though it’s Symbian.
    Also, its a Qwerty as I am needed to type a lot of SMS so I didn’t want a touch-screen at all. Remember, you just don’t need to see “Android”, also take care about the touch screen type, i.e. is it Resistive or Capacitive!

    I hope this much explanation is fine with you! Thanks and stay in touch!
