The low cost Android
During the I / O event held every year in California for industry developers, Google presented a project called Android One. It consists of a series of Android-based devices, which will initially sell for a maximum of $ 100. There are about 1 billion users likely to be reached by the measure, which would expand the market, further enabling the development of the platform. This ambitious goal was underscored by Android Vice President Sundai Pichai, who did not tell us, however, which version of the system would be installed on mobile phones.
The initial forecast is that the first devices will be on the market by November. The initial target is India, where manufacturers Micromax, Spice and Karbonn have already started working on product development, along with Google.
One of the smartphones has 4.5 inch screen, FM radio and will be compatible with 2 chips. The initial promise is that it will be possible to receive updates to the operating system just like most modern phones.
