a couple of weeks ago, Google introduced Android One in India, discussing all the details. Now, we have analyzed one of the first phones with Android One: Micromax A1 Canvas . And look at this device can give A much better about what is Android One idea.
What is Android One
One Android is a product designed to develop markets, so that phone companies have a hardware reference platform. This hardware is considered for mobile high quality and low cost ( high-quality, low-cost) . The components are selected by Google, so that in-state teams can add applications and change the hardware to give it your own touch.
In this way, get Android expand into new markets, and under the control of Google .
Micromax Canvas A1, the perfect example
As always, the best is a good example for what we’ll see how it is designed the Micromax A1 Canvas , available in India around $ 100 (without contract! ) . The other models available for Android One ( Spice One Dream and Karbonn Sparkle V ) have similar hardware, so we can serve this analysis as a reference.
Micromax A1 Canvas has the following features:
- 4 CPU cores at 1.3GHz
- 1GB RAM
- 4GB internal storage, expandable by microSD
- Display IPS PCD 4.5 inch , with resolution 854 x 480
- Battery 1700mAh removable
- Sensors: GPS, gyroscope, proximity sensor, light sensor, magnetic sensor
- Rear Camera 5MP with LED flash
- frontral Chamber of 2.4MP
- Dual sim
In design issues, the hand note of Google, as the style is quite similar to the Nexus family. But its price as set leads us to think, really big companies are adjusting their prices according to the market
Android One: The software
The first thing we find is that One Android Android is the style very similar to what we find in the Nexus or Google Play range Edition. In fact, Google is responsible for maintaining the code
But Micromax personalize some version, in this case for example adding some Series apps.

- FM Radio
- Hike

Apart from that, it has some Additional Features , to fit better in the One Android market. For example, being a phone with Dual SIM , in settings we can choose the default SIM. Another example is that we need a microSD card to make photos, because since the internal memory is limited, could not be carried without an inserted microSD.
Apart from that, as we have said, the rest is very similar to what we see on a Nexus you have your update Android 4.4.4 KitKat .
Conclusion
One Android has a future hopeful , because it is a way to offer features reserved for mobile premium until a few years ago in emerging markets. And besides, do not be so steeped in customizing manufacturers, because the end is who keeps Google Android One. Could it be a hit this bet to conquer these new markets?
