Google Officially Launches Android One by viruz007(m): 7:34pm On Sep 15, 2014 |
Google introduced Android One at Google I/O and told us to expect the launch soon. Today is that day. Android One is an initiative that will bring high quality smartphones to as many people as possible. 1.75 people around the world own a smartphone, which is a lot, but that’s only the tip of the iceberg. There are still 5 billion more people on this earth, and Android One gives those people an opportunity to join the revolution. Android One smartphones were officially launched today in India priced between Rs 6,399 – 7,000 ($105 – $115). Since Google is working with phone and silicon makers, there are a few models. They is the Micromax Canvas A1, Spice Dream Uno, and Karbonn Sparkle V. The Canvas A1 will be available on Amazon India, the Dream Uno will be on Flipkart, and the Sparkle V will be on Snapdeal. All manufacturers must adhere to the minimum spec requirements, which include a 4.5-inch (845 x 480) display, a quad-core MediaTek processor, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of storage, microSD slot for up to 32 GB of extra storage), dual cameras, dual-SIM support, and Android 4.4. As far as networks, Google has partnered with various operators for special deals. Airtel is one such network in which users can download Android software updates over 3G plus get 200 MB of apps for six months without it counting towards their monthly data usage. On averge, that’s about 50 apps. Since Google is working so closely with OEMs, they can ensure timely and direct updates from the search giant. I can guarantee you that these Android One handsets will get Android L well before flagships from Samsung, LG, and HTC get them. This is just the beginning folks. Expect more manufacturers such as Acer, Alcatel Onetouch, ASUS, HTC, Intex, Lava, Lenovo, Panasonic, Xolo, and chipmaker Qualcomm. You will also see Android One handsets hit Indonesia, the Philippines and South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) by the end of the year, with more countries to follow in 2015. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=X7UPR9z3OV8 Source: http://www.talkandroid.com/219673-google-officially-launches-android-one-the-smartphone-for-the-next-5-billion/?utm_source=feedburner-ta&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+AndroidNewsGoogleAndroidForums+%28TalkAndroid+-+Android+News%2C+Rumours%2C+and+Updates%29 1 Like |

480×800 resolution? They should make sure it doesn't exceed 4.5 inches or better still 4 inches. |
