Economic Times Google's New Android One Smartphone Source: Economic Times Google's new Android One smartphone launches on July 14 for Rs 12,000 By Danish Khan NEW DELHI: Google has gone back to the drawing board for Android One and come up with a version 2.0 as it were. Having met with a tepid response for the first phones based on the system in September last year, it appears to be reorienting the strategy toward people who've had smartphones before rather than first-time users, said a person with knowledge of the plan. That involves a shift in pricing as well. The latest Android One smartphone, made by Indian handset vendor Lava International, will be launched in Delhi on July 14 and will cost about Rs 12,000, roughly twice what the first phones were priced at. The launch is likely to be attended by top Google executives involved with the project. Android One was devised as a set of specifications that allowed companies to build cheap devices that ran smoothly on the operating system and got direct updates from Google. Another change relates to vendor engagement, said the person cited above. The latest device has been developed in collaboration on hardware and software with Lava and chipmaker MediaTek. Indian handset vendors weren't involved in design and development the first time around. "The first-phase partners took devices from original device makers (ODMs) in China and had no say over hardware and software. The latest device is controlled by Lava, which would be in a position to provide an enhanced experience," the person said. Not having done so earlier may have been among the reasons for the muted performance. There hasn't been too much demand for the first Android One phones, which were made by Micromax, Karbonn and Spice. Analysts said the vendors and Google failed to formulate and execute a robust go- to-market strategy. One of the problems was lack of availability in retail stores with the phones mostly available only online. "We've learnt a lot from the initial round with our partners and they have learnt in terms of device availability, in channel and others," Caesar Sengupta, vice president of product management, had told ETin June. "Initially, when we had launched, people couldn't buy them in all channels... In our future (launches) with our partners, we want to make sure that we're truly available everywhere." As a result, the new phone from Lava will be available online and in shops. Google is expected to spend around $10 million-15 million on marketing and promotion during the second phase of the Android One project in India this year, said the person cited above. Google India declined to comment. The new phone will have improved specifications and an optimised Android OS with applications and services co-developed by Google and Lava, said the person cited above. "Google has made some significant changes to the operating system and has deeply collaborated with Lava to modify the platform as per the product specifications for latter's smartphones," the person said, adding that the product will have enough capacity to stay relevant for a longer period of time in the market. The device, which uses a MediaTek chipset and has 2GB RAM, will feature a larger 5-inch display. Lava will try to position the device as an affordable Nexus smartphone with frequent software and security updates, the person said. Nexus is Google's own smartphone and tablet brand. The Nexus 6 smartphone, which is made by LG, starts at Rs 44,000. Globally, Google is working with close to 20 vendors shipping Android One smartphones in seven countries. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/47919306.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm _medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst .

  • Project Fi Is the Best Cellphone Plan You’Re Not Using
    Google’s Project Fi is the best cellphone plan you’re not using Google/YouTube Project Fi is an alternative to AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile that refunds you for unused data. Google has a solution for everyone who is tired of seeing astronomical cell phone bills at the end of each month. Launched in 2015, Project Fi is an alternative wireless carrier to AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile. It uses three different mobile networks for service in remote areas and asks users to only pay for data they use. Those who own a compatible device can take refuge in low prices and transparency, a breath of fresh air from the convoluted pricing schemes of the U.S.’s more popular carriers. If you’re not sure whether it’s right for you, here’s everything you need to know about how Project Fi works, how much it costs, and what phones you can use with it. What is Project Fi? In simple terms, Project Fi is a mobile carrier operated by Google. Unlike Verizon, AT&T, and T- Mobile, Project Fi is a so-called virtual network operator (MVNO), or a wireless network reseller that doesn’t own infrastructure. Put another way, it essentially leases cellular coverage and bandwidth from other carriers. There are several benefits to using a virtual provider over one that owns the network. Namely, MVNOs can offer services that cater to certain groups of customers. Boost Mobile (owned by Sprint) or StraightTalk (owned by Walmart), for example, are popular budget options for folks who don’t want to pay Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile prices.
