Previously, Android One phones sold in India were priced at around a $100 equivalent, which did not generate much appeal in a country with users who are very much price-sensitive when it comes to devices. At about $200, the Aquaris A4.5 is significantly more expensive than what Google promised for their Android One devices. To recap, BQ is the same company that launched a few of the first Ubuntu smartphones, but seems to have now shifted its focus to Android One smartphones to catch the fancy of price conscious consumers. With the launch in Portugal and Spain, Android One’s reach now stretches from parts of Asia and the South Pacific, to various countries throughout Europe. The device in question is the BQ Aquaris A4.5.

Even though the latest member of the Android One family might not be the most powerful smartphone on the market, it packs a decent hardware platform.

It sports a 4.5-inch QHD (960×540) display with a pixel density of 245ppi and comes with a Dragontrail glass protection. Under the hood, there is a MediaTek MT6735M chipset, 1 GHz Quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It features 16GB of storage, but also grabs a microSD card slot.

As for the camera, the BQ Aquaris A4.5 features an 8 megapixels rear main camera, with an f/2.0 aperture and dual LED flash with autofocus, and has the capability to record videos of up to 720p HD resolution.

All that will cost customers €169.90 (£125) in Spain and €179.90 (£130) in Portugal.

It’s also worth mentioning that the smartphone offers both 4G LTE and dual-SIM support, along with other connectivity options like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0 and Global Positioning System with AGPS support.
