Google seems to have taken enough prudence ensuring the models are flawless and good launching pads for the integrated OS.
All the options have received rave reviews from the buyer community.
Feature and build wise all the models are the same. It is just the service that would stand out in long run.
Micromax Canvas A1 
In general, battery backup (one day with nominal internet use) is the only sore point as per users.
