Google Official launches Android One Smartphone Experience Program

Google I/O 2014 started with the announcement of Android One Experience Program. The smartphone program strives to provide a unified feature set tailored-made for the market the phone is launching in.

The first smartphone to be part of the Android One comes from Micromax, one of the most popular smartphone brands in India. Its Android One smartphone packs features that are most important for users there. Those are FM Radio, Dual SIM support, microSD card and a low price.

The Micromax smartphone from Android One will cost under $100, which is cheaper than the Motorola Moto E. The new smartphone also packs a 4.5" display, but Sundar Pichai didn't specify neither its resolution, nor further specifications.

The Android One program guarantees that the phones that come out of it will run on the most recent Android release, as Google will push latest updates to those phones similar to the way it handles the GPE devices.
