Android one arrives

A few hours ago, the first smartphones with Android One, the new Google platform made up of inexpensive quality smartphones initially intended for emerging markets, were officially presented in India.

With Android One, Google wants to offer customers in emerging countries the best Android experience without having to make a large financial outlay, where in most cases they have to pay more than they earn in a couple of months to access to a good phone.

The first Android One to hit the market are Karbonn Sparkle V, Micromax Canvas A1 and Spice Dream Uno, all of them currently for sale only in India. Their prices are around 6, 399 Indian rupees, about 80 euros to change. In addition, the operator Airtel India offers a plan of 200 MB per month in which Google Play downloads will not count, which confirms Google's commitment to the operators to offer better rates.

As features, they will have at least 4.5-inch screens with a resolution of 845 x 480 pixels, quad-core 1.3 GHz processor and 1 GB of RAM. In addition to the above features, they will have FM radio, dual SIM card support and card reader to expand the internal memory from 4GB to 32GB. Regarding the operating system, they will include Android 4.4 without any customization from the manufacturers and with automatic updates. They have a 1700 mAh battery.
