Android One program is Google's initiative that basically guides hardware companies on how to optimize device's internals to avail the promise of an updated Android software. The program started in India with Google listing three of the country’s top vendors - Micromax, Karbonn and Spice. Locally, the search company partnered with Cherry Mobile and MyPhone for their own take of Android One phones. Now, if you're trying to decide which side to bank your hard earned money, we are jotting down a comparison list of these devices to make your life easier.
On
a high note, both come with the latest Android 5.1 Lollipop which could give
you the best Android experience to date. The OS includes the new Material
Design UI; as well as the improved runtime called ART (Android Runtime) which
allows you to load apps faster. Likewise, battery management is also enhanced
compared to the previous build. Google outs

When
it comes to the hardware, both have almost the same feature set except for the
slight difference in the MediaTek SoC variant and the storage configuration.
The MyPhone Uno comes with the MediaTek MT8562 which is slightly faster than the
Cherry Mobile One's MT8562M in terms of GPU.
On
the other hand, Cherry Mobile One has bigger internal memory (8GB over 4GB).
Both are expandable up to 32GB via MicroSD slow. Thus, if you're an active
downloader, the One is a good choice.
Either
ways, you are sealed with the best Android performance and a snappy experience
with an entry level price.
