              Holy smokes....!!! They are selling it at twice the amount of it's worth in india. We've seriously got a problem with Google or let's say karbonn moreover karbonn is not a great brand here in India their service sucks hard time.If it was sold for 50£ then that could've been a hit in UK, with this pricing I donno whether it will ever turn profit... IMO this is just a cheap market tactic by karbonn so that they can brag that they sell phones in UK n turn some profit in India...

                it is fine for making calls and receiving texts. Upside is you have google hangouts thrown in.

                  I just got Motorola Moto G 4G for £130, this is a beast and it does have micro sd slot (up to 32GB), plus 8 GB on board and 4G as the name suggests, also on kitkat with the lollipop coming soon. The screen is a cracker, same as my old Xperia S. How come that such a low spec phone is so pricy? The only nice feature is 2MP front camera.

                        Except Moto g has no sd slot, so ultimately it has less storage and is actually useless. And the battery isnn't big enough in both devices so it makes no difference - heavy users will need and external battery in both cases as usual, while the rest will be just fine with both.

                            Because, Indian manufacturing is so bad and this device unsold in India still this time. It couldn't find place in market because Motorola moto E best phone in all Angeles and aspects in 6999/ Rupees. Red mi 1a is another one best phone in 5999/ Rupees.

                              It's another trick of Google to spread rumours in Indian people that's karbon sparkel v is going to sell in UK with £129. What mean that people in UK are completely fool and ill-literate.

                                Google spreading rumours that 500,000 android one phones sold out actually Google sold to the three dealers in India but phones are still in godowns of dealers. This phone never compete with Motorola's Moto E and Red mi 1s.

I dunno about redmi 1s but android one is better than moto e in everything except screen resolution and gorilla glass. And it gives smoother user experience than moto g with a mediatek processor believe me.... Who said hardware sucks,it looks and feel pretty good.
