India is launchpad for Android One

Android One

When it comes to launching big products India has been sidelined by almost all the big companies. This is going to change this afternoon i.e. on 15th September 2014 Google will be launching Android One in India. In a few hours from now Google will be launching first set of Android One Smart phones which will give Mobile phone users all across India a higher end experience on smartphone for a very reasonable price to price conscious Indian users.

Google is targeting the developing world and it has started with Indian Smartphone Manufacturers like Karbonn, Spice and Micromax. India which is one of the biggest markets for smartphones will soon turn into a battle ground for Google Android One.

Android One will have the basic hardware features that are needed in India i.e.dual-SIM, microSD card slot etc working on Google developed software. Google aims to extend the reach of Android into emerging markets, especially India where only 29% of about 920 million mobile phone users own smartphones, offering a far higher potential than markets like China or the US where smartphone penetration is nearing its peak.

Google also revealed a couple of specifications for Micromax’s smartphone. It will feature a 4.5-inch display, MediaTek processor, dual-SIM card slots and a removable SD card. With the search giant providing the hardware and software guidelines, the Android One smartphones from all the three smartphone vendors are likely to have similar specification. They are expected to retail exclusively on Amazon, Snapdeal & Flipkart they will go on sale at 3:30pm. Today!!!

So Hold your breath for something amazing coming your way!!!!
