Android one enters India too late: The millet Asus has taken the initiative

Lead: The online edition of the Economic Times, India, writes today that Android one has little to do with India because there are already a lot of cheap Android phones on the market. The following is the full text of the article: when Google announced the Android one earlier this year, it appeared to bring a change to the 573.1,-2.52,-0.44% smartphone market. , Android One will provide users with the latest version of the Android system, while Google will be based on optimized performance to develop the lowest hardware configuration. The Android one smartphone must be equipped with a 4.5-inch screen, supports dual sim, can expand flash memory, and is equipped with dual cameras. The handset sells less than 100 dollars (about 6500 rupees). Today, three big Indian brands have launched Android One handsets, including Karbonn, Micromax and spice. The three products are priced at less than 7000 rupees and meet Google's requirements. Today, however, the situation has been different from the one that Android one just released-and there is nothing unusual about these devices. This June, the entry-level smartphone market just started. Motorola launched the Moto E in May 2014 with a price of 6999 rupees. Moto e uses the latest version of the Android system, with a 4.3-inch display, dual-core 骁丽 Dragon 200 processor, built-in 1GB memory, can expand storage space. Micromax then launched Unite 2, which carries the Android 4.4 system with a 4.7-inch screen, the same price as Moto E, but employs four cores. In short, Google Android One commitment to all content, in fact, has appeared in the market. In August, Millet also launched a red-M 1S in India, which has a 4.7-inch 720p display (higher resolution than Android one), built-in Qualcomm (75.08,-0.25,-0.33%) four core processor (the future of the Android One mobile phone will also use Qualcomm processors, Currently uses only MediaTek), 1GB of memory, extensible storage space, and offers a 8 million megapixel camera with a very impressive quality. More importantly, the mobile phone price is only 5999 rupees! With a series of improvements, Millet's MIUI interface provides a richer user experience than Android. Flipkart's two flash-shopping campaigns took less than 3 seconds to sell 40,000 red-meter 1S. At the moment, Android one is more expensive than red rice, but it is less configurable. Some people will say that the three Android one is basically consistent in configuration, only color or brand different. Android one's only advantage is that it can be pushed immediately after Google releases software updatesThis is similar to the Nexus series. However, for most Indian users, the first time to get a new version of the Android system is not attractive. They have a preference for cost-effective devices, which must be good, have large screens, have a long battery, and be good enough for cameras. However, Motorola, Asus, Millet, Micromax have been able to provide such products. So it's bound to be a tough fight, and Google has to step up its efforts to develop Android one. (PEI)
