Android One, the New Superstar!

Have you heard about the revolutionary ‘Android One’ Smartphone? Sounds terrific, isn’t it? These Smartphones are said to be genuinely budget-friendly and that’s a clincher if you ask me! Because it is launched in India via three top-selling mobile phone manufacturers and comes with a tagline of low-cost affordability, the latest Android One phones from Google are bound to go places. Your favorite apps, free data, plus all the latest mid-range features are included in the new Android One version.

Statistics show that for first-time phone buyers, the demand for such phones is skyrocketing and that’s why Google chose India, a third-largest smartphone market, to launch such low-priced “high-quality” phones. No doubt, first-time smartphone customers are looking forward to it as they want to make a changeover from using their low-tech devices to using more sophisticated yet affordable devices.

The Power of Android One!

I see a mobile revolution is just around the corner with Android One’s launch here in India. Especially, first-time buyers have by now been hooked on to the newest offering ever since it was announced that Google is all set for a grand launch of its newest Android version beginning in India and later on in other emerging marketplaces. That was an exciting bit of news, to say the least, considering what probable Android users are expecting from a technology standpoint. Let’s just take a look at what kind of “high-quality” features, as are being promised by Google, are in store for Android One phone buyers.

Okay, before we go in there allow me to quickly treat you to the fact that one of the interesting features on offer is: users can download YouTube video clips and watch them offline. Now that’s an Android One feature that is still unavailable on any other Android operating system device! Isn’t that an excellent service rendition for Android One buyers? It sure is. First-time buyers out there are looking forward to such a treat that will go on to add fantastic value-addition to their happiness quotient on acquiring an Android One cell phone.

Features, Features, Features! Here are they: A minimum 4.5-inch phone display, 1GB RAM, 4GB storage space with micro SD card slot, a quad-core processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera, and 2 MP front one, including dual SIM card support, built-in FM radio, and replaceable battery. Besides all of that, users can download 200MB worth of apps from Google Play.

In the meantime, Google-made Android One smartphone devices are going to be competitively advantageous when compared to the global biggie of a South Korean firm Samsung as far as low-pricing strategy is concerned. It’s going to be a wait-and-watch thing on how Android One is going to trigger an impact on pricing mechanisms and product mix from even low-cost no-frills Chinese phone manufacturers.

And in the years to come, it is going to be far more exciting than perhaps what is perceivable now. Right now though, one is convinced that with the newest Google Android One technology addition available it’s time for an upgraded handset!
