I would recommend going for a smartphone with atleast 512 MB RAM. I would recommend you to buy HTC Explorer if possible.

I'm using samsung Galaxy Y which has 290 MB RAM. Many apps run in background, so I feel even 290 MB is less.

Another point which you must note is that apps take up space in internal storage, even though many apps could be moved to SD card. So to get a good Android experience get a smartphone with large amount of internal storage & atleast 512MB RAM....

Still, try to stretch your budget a little & get Samsung Galaxy Pocket @ ~6.8k if money is problem..

[ani1751]

so if i cant strech budget, is it worth to buy micromax a50 or a52?
if its not, i will drop the idea of goig to android

if you want a simple Android mobile, go for Micromax android but do remember you won't get any community support i.e. if Micromax doesn't release update, there will be no update. if there is any problem you'll have to go to customer care and these desi brands have worst customer care. no basically you'll have to use it as a dumb phone and can't really make use of the Android OS itself.

Galaxy Y

Why don't you extend your budget by 2k and get Explorer for 8k which is an amazing phone.
Or you can get Galaxy Y for 6.5k easily.

Add 800 Rs. and get Galaxy Y.Also if you can wait for some time,and increase your budget in that time, go for Sony Xperia Tipo(8k as per the rumours).I am also waiting for the phone.Its specs are better than HTC Explorer.
