Recently, we heard about the launch of Android one phone in India. Many
people must be wondering whether Android One is a new version of Android and likewise.
So answering in simple terms about Android One, it is as
follows:
What is Android One
and how it is different from existing latest version of Android i.e. Android
kitkat 4.4?
Well, Android One is a customized Android Phone as used
recently by Asus and other service providers. Normally, high end Android Phones
like Nexus, Samsung, Xiaomi etc. customize Android Operating Systems. Most of
the economical handsets use Android’s AOSP (Android Open Source Project)
version. Whereas there is no ownership on the AOSP version of android operating
system, the modified version has ownership of respective companies. Thus,
Goggle has ownership on Android One. In Android One, interface, and other
important aspects are modified according to the need.
What is the benefit
of Android One?
Google is taking
control over the entire things. Although, it is providing the customized Android
One OS, Google decides the company who can use Android one and it decides the
hardware and quality of the product. So, irrespective of which handset
(Karbonn, Spice or Micromax) you buy, it ensures that you get similar hardware specifications. The other Android phone may or may not come
with a free upgrade to next version, but Android One comes with the free
upgradation to the latest version of Android as and when it will be available.
