Nokia 7 Plus, Xiaomi Mi A2 and Other Best Android One Smartphones Available for Purchase in India

Google’s Android One program is picking up the pace with every passing quarter. If Xiaomi relaunched the program in September 2017 with the Mi A1, then it was HMD Global which took Android One to a whole new level by making all of its devices part of the program. For the unaware, Nokia launches all of its smartphones under Android One in India, while Xiaomi launches yearly one smartphone (at least it did the same in the last two years). Just yesterday, we got a new brand joining the list, which is Infinix. The Infinix Note 5 has been launched in India at a price of Rs 9,999, which makes it one of the best smartphones in the sub-Rs 10,000 price point.

The phone sports a 5.99-inch Full HD+ display with 18:9 aspect ratio, runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box, comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC.
