Google's Android One Set To Appear In September


According to Economic times, the phone comes with a removable back battery cover which holds a 1700 mAh battery, sports dual sim slots and a SD card slot. It is also likely to have 5 mega pixel cameras, a quad core processor along with 1GB RAM. It will have 4.3 to 4.5 inch screens and will run on the Android Kitkat OS 4.4.

People purchasing the Android one device will be upgraded to Android L this year. This will offer better browsing and gaming experience at affordable prices which will attract the first time Smartphone buyers too.

"Advantages of screen size and Google updates could make a difference to these smartphones offering better performance to what Indian buyers are accustomed to," said PwC India's Mohammad Chowdhury.

"The arrangement under Android One is a win-win for all parties," said Vishal Tripathi, principal analyst at Gartner India. "Consumers get better, yet cheaper, phones, Google can control hardware and software besides easy management of content on its app store and updates, while handset makers may get more margins."

"Android One will also help Google to bring in new users to its Android ecosystem, especially at a time when its overall market share could hit a plateau," said CyberMedia Research's lead analyst, Tarun Pathak.
