Android One is one of the purest versions of Android, born back in 2014 to flow better on lower-performance terminals. The result is less customization without too many added applications, except for some specific ones like the camera. Among its main advantages is not only that of lightness, it also promises a guaranteed update rate of two years, faster even than that of phones that have classic Android.
If you are interested in acquiring a phone governed by Android One, but you get lost among so many different models, do not stop reading. Here is a review of some of the best you can buy during 2019.
Xiaomi Mi A3
One of the latest mobiles to arrive with Android One has been the Xiaomi Mi A3. In any case, the system is not completely free of apps, since Xiaomi has taken the opportunity to include some such as Amazon, AliExpress, Mi Community or the Xiaomi Store. This model comes to replace the Xiaomi Mi A2, so it has more advanced features. Among them we can highlight a 6.088-inch AMOLED panel with HD + resolution of 1,560 x 720 pixels, as well as an all-screen design with a notch in the shape of a drop of water.
Inside we find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor along with 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of storage. It also includes a triple sensor composed of a 48-megapixel main sensor plus an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. There is also a 4,030 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 technology with 18 W fast charging. The Xiaomi Mi A3 is sold on Amazon at a price of 200 euros with free shipping.
Motorola One Vision
Another mobile with Android One to buy in 2019 is the Motorola One Vision, available at Phone House at a price of 290 euros. This model comes with a 6.3-inch panel, a screen with a 21: 9 format and Full HD + resolution. Its design is quite current, with a screen with almost no frames and with perforation instead of notch or notch. Its back has a glossy finish, which gives it a fairly elegant appearance, although special care will be taken with fingerprints. Speaking of fingerprints, there is no lack of a fingerprint reader located right in the center.
At the level of internal characteristics, the Motorola One Vision has an Exynos 9609 processor with 2.2 GHz cores, 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage (expandable). It also offers a dual 48 + 5 megapixel main sensor, in addition to a 3,500 mAh battery with fast charging (about seven hours of use with 15 minutes of charge).
LG G7 One
The LG G7 One was the South Koreans' first bet for this lightweight version of the system. Although it is not sold in Spain, it is possible to get it in stores like eBay at a price of around 440 euros. Why is it worth buying this terminal? It is interesting if you are looking for a powerful phone, as it includes a Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with 4GB of RAM. However, its features have been somewhat outdated compared to those of other current Android One, such as the Xiaomi Mi A3. In fact, it only has a single 16 megapixel main sensor. The secondary one has a resolution of 8 megapixels and is hidden inside the front notch, which by the way is quite prominent.
The LG G7 One also offers a 6.1-inch panel with QHD + resolution (3120 x 1440) and a 19.5: 9 ratio, as well as a 3,000 mAh battery with fast charging or 32 GB of internal space.
Nokia 9 Pure View
If you are looking for a mobile that does not leave you indifferent at the level of benefits, that is current and that is governed by Android One, then you have to take a look at the Nokia 9 Pure View. The terminal was unveiled last February with nothing more and nothing less than five main cameras. The cameras have the same aperture and resolution (12 megapixels f / 1.8). Its differences are the ability to capture color with two RGB sensors, while the remaining three are responsible for capturing information in black and white.
The Nokia 9 Pure View also has a high- performance processor, a Snapdragon 845, accompanied by 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The terminal in turn equips a 3,320 mAh battery with wireless charging or a 5.99-inch pOLED panel with QHD + resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection. This model can be purchased through Amazon at a price of 520 euros (+ 16 euros shipping).
Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
Finally, if you want a simple mobile with Android One that does not skyrocket much in price, the Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite can be a very interesting option. The terminal can be purchased for only 170 euros through stores such as PcComponentes with 4 GB + 64 GB. This model has a metallic design all screen with notch, 5.84-inch IPS panel with FHD + resolution of 2,280 × 1,080 pixels and Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.
At the photographic level, it includes a 12 + 5 megapixel dual sensor, as well as a 5 megapixel sensor for selfies. We can also mention among its features a 4,000 mAh battery, a fingerprint reader on the back or facial recognition to expand security. The terminal can be found in three colors: light blue, gold or black.
