The latest bang in the Android market is Android one. With such a large numbers of manufacturers and sellers available in the android market, it always has been a dilemma for the buyers to make the best deal.

With all new features arriving everyday on the horizon, what new Android one has to offer to its audience. Well yes...nothing but the name is enough.

Android one comes from the family of android makers Google. Since India after China and US is the third largest smartphone maker market in the world, so Google wants to use the Indian audience as its one huge hub. Sundar Pichai, Google’s senior vice president for Android, Chrome and Apps, announced Android One earlier this year. With its Android One programme, Google hopes to be able to give users the best hardware-software combination at a very reasonable price of $100 to start with. Currently Google has signed up with three Indian smartphone makers, Micromax, Karbonn and Spice. These will launch android one all with the same specifications and all priced around Rs 6,400. Soon, Google will try and hit this sweet spot across various price points above and below $100, offering the best experience in this range. It will also have more partners on board as it spreads the Android One experiment to other countries in Asia and then the rest of the world.

3. Availability of android kit-kat 4.4.4 version while many other android devices in market still offers jellybean.
4. Features like Google Translate which now has Hindi-English-Hindi packs and voice search which now recognises the national language.
5. Added to this Google’s promise to make viewing YouTube offline on these phones in the coming months.
6. Configurations as listed below, which normally are not affordable at such a low price budget but will be common to all Android one devices.
