Androids may vary, but the common thing is that they're all humanoids. Two arms, two legs, torso and head. They are visibly robotic, though. They are built for the sole purpose of making social and private lives easier, like house keeping, child care or bartending. Their physical strength is a little bit bigger than of the average human's, but not too much, thus they are not a perfect replacer for heavy-physical workers. It's impossible for androids to think for themselves and being autonomous. They are programmed to do their jobs, they sometimes may seem thinking and feeling, but it's just not possible. They do not feel pain or any emotions. There's no possibility of androids developing emotions, or being programmed to feel.
They are mostly created in high-end facilities and factories, but sometimes, someone skilled (or not) enough makes an inferior and buggier makeshift android. This would be illegal to do without a permit.
The typical androids made in factories would be expensive - ranging in between thousands of credits - and would be present only in places that could afford it. The illegal ones' prices would depend on the seller.
