Android One has so far been associated with bargain-basement phones, but now Google is using the Lava Pixel V1 to enter mid-range territory. This 5.5-inch phone has mediocre specifications by today’s standards and is also priced a bit on the higher side, but carries forward the appeal of regular Android updates and security patches. Two years doesn’t seem like a long time, but you’re likely to change phones before that anyway. We found performance to be weak, with the camera quality particularly disappointing. Battery life was good, though. Get this phone if you like big screens and hate the custom UIs and skins that bog nearly every other Android phone down, but don’t expect the experience to be as polished as that with a Nexus device.
