This post will compare various Android devices that are priced similar to the Nokia Asha 501, which is priced at 99 USD plus taxes, which should be about 6,000 INR.
- Micromax A80
- LG Optimus L3 E-400
- Karbonn A6
- Karbonn A15
- Videocon A27
- Micromax A89 As one can infer from the list, the Micromax A89 is the strongest contender with a dual core processor, while the rest only have an 800MHz or a 1GHz single core processor. However, not everyone is comfortable with new and upcoming brands like Micromax, and some would like to give up a little on specs and buy the LG Optimus L3, which is quite a bit behind the likes of Micromax A89 in terms of specs, but LG’s brand visibility and the sheer number of service centers make it up for the loss in specs, so in the end, which phone you go for would depend on your style of usage and taste, as Android OS cannot be optimized as highly as say, Windows Phone OS or Nokia Asha OS. In others words, a phone with 512MB RAM on Windows Phone OS would be much more smoother compared to 512MB RAM phone with Android.
