Nokia 1

One of the most popular smartphones to come with Android Go is the Nokia 1. The Nokia 1 sports a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 480x854 pixels. The smartphone is powered by a MediaTek MT6737M chipset. The Nokia 1 is priced at Rs. 5,199 which is lower than the Asus ZenFone Live L1's speculated price.

10.or G

Believing the reports that the Asus ZenFone Live L1 will be priced above Rs. 7,000, the 10.or G can be a great alternative. 10.or G is not an Android Go smartphone but comes with much better specifications and build quality. 10.or G is powered by a Snapdragon 626 SoC and features a 5.5-inch Full HD+ display. The smartphone starts at a price of Rs. 7,999.
