In August of last year, Android first entered Indian markets through the HTC Magic. Since then handset manufacturers like Sony Ericsson, Samsung, HTC, LG and even Acer have released their own Android phones. If you are a fan of Google’s mobile OS or just want to give it shot, here are the Top 5 Android phones in India:
