Time for Google to dish out next version Android One smartphones

Time for Google to dish out next version Android
One smartphones
We have been talking about them for a while now and it's finally about to make its presence felt yet again. We're talking about the Google's much maligned Android One project and the same is now set for a wholesome revamp.

Reports emerging today suggest the search giant is all geared up to launch the next version of Android One devices along with India-based mobile brand, Lava later this month. In addition to that the report also states the possibility of getting the phones priced at around Rs 12,000, making it twice the price of the original Android One (A.O) devices.

The partnership with Lava has to be the most intriguing twist to crop up with respect to A.O saga and that in many ways suggest Google is looking for help from local brands to get things right this time around.


The report goes onto add that the upcoming Android One phone will feature a 5-inch display, and hopefully for this price, we're looking at a 1080p quality. The phone is expected to get powered by Mediatek CPU (octa-core most likely) which is contradicting the whole point of Google-Qualcomm tie up earlier this year. In all likelihood, expect the phone to become a cheaper version Nexus device which, unlike the first variant, will be available across all channels i.e. online as well as offline.

We've voiced our opinion as to what and how Google should be eyeing the A.O v2.0 devices and it looks like, they have decided to start the project from scratch which should work in their favour. Having said that, Lava doesn't strike out as a name which can be pegged to offer Google the right kind of A.O assistance but then we might be wrong.

So, let's wait and watch for the next Android One phone and hope Google gets it right this year.
