At the Google I/O conference, the company has announced
Android One, a new Android initiative for developing markets to extend the
smartphone experience. At the announcement, Google’s Sundar Pichai said that in
a country like India, only 10% people have access to smartphones. To change
things, Android One will provide better smartphone experience on low end
devices.
There are few important things to note for the new Android
One. This is intended for developing markets like India and will provide Nexus
like experience in the lower price category. The device will have stock Android
and come with custom apps for the market. Google will be taking care of the
updates and will provide automatic updates to the phone.
