Processor is weakest part of this phone more than design. Snapdragon 200 series is rarely used from 2015 and hardly gets an update unlike 400 series and 600 series and competitive mediatek Processors. People buying it as first phone have to face lot of lags and freeze often. Should reboot once in a while to make it work for needs. Camera will take a lot of time to focus and save. Games will not be enjoyable and such demerits goes on. Hope Google did some optimization rather than naming it as Pragati OS.

    No One, 30 Oct 2021Why not introducing people to Google services with 4g fast ... moreDi you realise that this is a $h!t that is being called as "smartphone"?
    And they are shamelessly asking 6.5k for this cr@p. It's only their finance offers thta make this phone looks like it is a great phone for ultra cheap price. But in the end, the consumer will be paying 6.5k for a phone that won't support any other telecom brand.
    Moreover, nobody know which apps will be compatible or even optimised for this "PragatiOS". Better buy a phone with Android Go

        Ofcourse the intention of both the companies is to expand their user base and their revenues. But nevertheless the benefits of first time connected users is much larger with a comparatively cheaper purchase option and direct push and initiative from the Big tech is laudable.

          Better to buy a branded phone by adding extra 1500 and choose better plan for 3 months . It will be cheaper than this emi options.

                              The target audience for this phone is rural people who want to use WhatsApp and Facebook. Basically their first step up from a non-smart phone. Combined with the stripped down OS the device should work fine for 2-3 years.

As an owner of the secondary phone Samsung A01 Core (1GB RAM / 16GB ROM / Android 10 Go Edition) I can confirm my claim.
