Google's Android One Project has its one true aim - to bring the full extent of the search engine giant's mobile operating system in all of its glory and purity with devices that are equipped with decent internals yet don't spell huge losses in the bank account.
However, although the program was set to be an affordable offering for the masses, the devices presented for it had flopped as customers and vendors go for customized Android devices. As such, Google wants to restart the program in hopes to provide the people its services and Android in its purest form without having them dish out the big bucks.
According to reports and several sources, Google is planning to relaunch the Android One program in the following months along with a more unstrained policy regarding its hardware requirements, which were responsible on the program's difficulty in pricing and launching in a timely manner. Soon enough, manufacturers and companies will have their pick of the hardware they want to use for the program.
Reports suggest that the search engine giant will be rolling out the first device based on the new requirements in the months ahead, and India's Lava will have the first go at it. However, pricing details and availability still remain unclear at the moment, but it could be expected that it will be priced below the midranged category seeing as Google's Android One program focuses on low cost solutions. If the pricing would be based on the current Android One devices, the new devices that will soon see light will cost below or around USD $100.
Google's Android One project is the company's way of bringing low-cost Android smartphones that feature the operating system itself in its purest form - without any customizations of services and such at the search engine giant's expense.
