What Is Android One? by Smallbaby(f): 9:05am On Sep 06, 2018
Without much further ado,am going to break it down what andriod one is..
Android One is an Android programme originally designed for first-time smartphone users in emerging markets. It was first introduced at Google's I/O developer conference in 2014.
Android One devices are essentially stock Android phones made by OEM partner manufacturers. Being part of Android One - and labelled as such on the rear of the phone - brings with it a guarantee that it's a solid and stable version of Android that's not loaded with other apps, services and bloatware.

Google's goal here is to facilitate the spread of Google-controlled Android via compelling products. Basically, it's a little like the old Nexus programme, but rather than being flagship devices sold by Google directly, these are pure Android devices made by other hardware partners and sold through other retailers.
Original Android One devices emerged in India, fitting that entry-level position, but things have moved on, with the most recent launches bringing Android One to the mid-range, and breaking out of the original "emerging markets" ambition, to offer Android One on a global scale.
Importantly, Android One comes without any of the stuff that manufacturers like to bundle in - no skins, no duplicate apps, no additional services.


What does Android One feature?

Android One is described as "the purest form of Android." With it, you get "the best version of Android, right out of the box", according to Google. Basically it's stock Android loaded with Google goodness, offering all the features of the core operating system. That's exactly what the Nexus programme offered, but in that case Google worked on developing the hardware, but in the case of Android One, Google aren't involved in the hardware process.

This is slightly different to the Pixel phones. When Google announces the Pixel phones it often includes a couple of unique features - such as a Pixel Camera or Pixel Launcher. In some cases these won't be available to the rest of Android and will remain unique to Pixel phones.

Google apps:-You get Google software like Google Duo, YouTube, and Maps - in fact the full suite of Google services.
Android One phones also come with built-in Google Play Protect, which helps ensure that your apps are secure and behaving as they should. What you won't get is some hijacked version of Android loaded with malware.

Google support:-With Android One, your device will receive up to two years of upgrades to the latest version of Android. That means that if you buy an Android One device on Oreo, you should end up with Android Q. You therefore don't need to endlessly wait for your device's manufacturer to roll out updates, as the manufacturer doesn't have much to do with the software.
With an Android One device, manufacturers don't alter the software in at all, making it easy for Google to issue upgrades. In addition to all this, you get three years of Android monthly security updates.

Good post but it may likely not make front page because you didn't add nude pictures of ladies or pictures of snakes in your backyard

Very true ...it was the only reason that made me buy the note 5 . Stock Android is main thing .

Guys is it just me or is the back camera on the note 5 really this poor ?

Thank God I don't take pics ...just need to scan documents is all .

Let me know what you think .

So far ..Android one has given me a good experience so far . Loving it . I was skeptical at first but I love it now . Compared to xos it's way better .

It's more intuitive ...better AI interaction .

It's organized no bloat ware ...although trust infinix to find a way to stick an xos launcher on it somehow which I can't delete .

Oreo OS is really cool one feature I love is when you long press certain app icons you can perform actions without actually opening the app itself . Some apps not all Sha ...

Dual split screen is also cool .

And the promise of constant security updates really clinches it for me . As I value that above all .

However I think 61,300 is a bit much on account of the poor camera at the back I mean ...maybe it's just me ...but techno phantom took better pics than this .

Then again I hate taking pics so maybe it's just me .

Probably have to get a better phone for that .

I think it's because I didn't remove the plastic slip covering the camera ...well will check it out later and report back . If I'm wrong will retract my statement about the camera .
