14 DAY TRIAL // We already know the next-generation Android One smartphones will debut in India on July 27. The first Indian company to launch such a device is Lava Mobiles and the smartphone is called Pixel V1.
The smartphone has been recently spotted at Indian price comparison website MySmartPrice, along with its price tag and full specs list.
Those who already own an Android One smartphone and would like to upgrade to a newer, much better device, will be pleased to know that Lava Pixel V1 is definitely a step forward in the right direction.
First of all, it appears that the Pixel V1 will be available of purchase in India for only Rs 11,349, which is about $175 or €160. That's more than a decent price considering the smartphone's specs.
It will receive major software updates for at least 2 years
As expected, Lava Pixel V1 will ship with Android 5.1.1 Lollipop operating system right out of the box, which is the latest version of the OS.
On the inside, the smartphone will be equipped with a 64-bit 1.3GHz quad-core processor, provided by Qualcomm, which is paired with 2GB of RAM and no less than 32GB of internal memory. On top of that, users will be able to further expand storage up to 64GB via microSD card slot.
Lava Pixel V1 sports a large 5.5-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution and features DragonTrail Glass coating for extra protection.
On the back, the handset features an 8-megapixel photo snapper which is interpolated via software to capture 13-megapixel pictures. In the front, there's a 5-megapixel camera interpolated via the same method to capture 8-megapixel images.
When it comes to connectivity, the Pixel V1 offers both 3G and dual-SIM support, as well as Wi-Fi, microUSB 2.0, FM Radio, 3.5mm audio jack and GPS with AGPS support. Lava Pixel V1 is powered by a 2,650 mAh battery.
