Android Phone looks like Iphone 5

This is a big jump from the fruit company's third quarter price averages, which was much nearer $600. Probably because Apple brought its iPhone 6 Plus, a more costly device, to market. And Apple also put a big emphasis on trying to sell its 64GB and 128GB mobile phones by avoiding 32GB sales by turning to a serious bonus for shoppers who weren't so interested in using a 16GB non-expandable phone in 2015.

Android on the other hand sees its avarage prices kept constantly low by the spread of low-priced smart phones in the eastern hemisphere. The Chinese Xiaomi, for example, achieved an avarage mobile phone rate of only 220 US dollars (146 euros), which is low enough to prevent premiums from significantly raising Android prices. It is unlikely that Android manufacturers will worry too much about this low mean value.

This is because Android accounted for 84 percent of the smart-phone O.S. mobile phone segment in the third Quarter of last year. No matter what you may think about the big fight between Apple and Android, it's still clear that Microsoft has trouble hawking tagged equipment. Indeed, Microsoft's last quarterly mean retail sales prices for smart phones were a meager $45 (330) - the same as a Russell Hobbs charger, 64GB SD memory stick or Epson print cartridges lead.

New Android One phone looks like an upgraded iPhone version 2C.

Recall the iPhone A5C? Apple's excursion into making a plastic-clad, colorful range of theoretical less expensive iPhones may not have taken long (mainly because folks prefer the more beautiful aluminium and the fact that they weren't actually that cheap), but Sharp's new Android One S3 phone looks like it's taking the look of Apple's short-lived experiments with some enhancements over GSMArena.

Android One S3 cost 32,400 Japanese Yen (about $300), making it far more compatible with mid-range and budgetary telephones than the previous version of C5. This phone is also bigger, with a 5-inch IGZO LCD screen with 1080p screen size. Android One S3 comes with Android Oreo on the softwares side, and the fact that it is part of Google's Android One programme should mean that it is both free of undesirable bloodware and more likely to receive softwares up-dates.

This phone is IP68 classified for impermeability to moisture and dusts, which is a big plus, and loads via USB-C, which is unfortunately still uncommon in this class. And, of course, there's a choice of sleek, plain pastels reminiscent of Apple's deserted iPhone experience.

Sharp Android One S3 is only available in Japan via the Y!mobile carrier. Please contact us for details.
