How to Choose an Android Phone - Tips

If you are looking for an Android phone with a decent camera quality, and your budget is limited, consider the below tips to make a better decision.
1. Be clear, whether your priority is Android experience or Camera quality
2. Be aware that screen resolution (not the camera resolution) is a major factor deciding the quality of your Android experience. It should be of 320x480 at least. There are phones with 240x320. Avoid them.
3. Always compare the features with HTC G1 which was the first Android phone to be shipped. Make it as your point of benchmarking
4. Keep your options open and explore beyond the famous international manufacturers
5. If you are concerned about the camera quality, don't settle for anything lesser than 5 MP, esp. if you are willing to try out less famous brands
6. Real estate of the touch screen matters if the phones does not have a separate keypad. If it has a keypad, consider only the screen resolution and not the width. Otherwise, the minimum is 3.2 inches
7. Go for capacitative screen, and avoid resistive screen
8. Check whether you can root the phone. There are some good software for the rooted phones. Read this if you don't know what rooting is
9. Read reviews before buying any phone

Many manufacturers are trying to break into the low cost android market. Many models targetting the low end market are planned for this year. The market seems to be blooming and not yet stable. I hope there would be better options by end of October, and phones with more screen resolution may become cheaper. Here is a list phones I find interesting for a person with limited budget.
Vodafone 945
Spice Mi 300
Huawei X5, X6, S7
HTC G1
