If you have used or used Nokia's smartphones, then you must have seen that most of Nokia's smartphones are available to see Android One and probably you will take Nokia's smartphones only because of Android One.
The main goal of Android One is to provide stock Android UI and quick updates.

Android one was launched in 2014 and brought it to Google.
At that time, the real purpose of bringing it was that the mobile phone should be brought in at a lower price and the software support that will be given by google. But there were some limitations by google like if a device has to support Android one, then it should have the same hardware that Google wants and which will be able to run Android One completely. No company could provide hardware different from that hardware in their smartphones. And the software update will be given by Google, this update will be given directly by Google to the smartphone which is running in Android one and that update will be stock android.

After this, only in 2014 android, one smartphone was launched which were Micromax, spice, and Karbonn. The special thing among them was that their hardware was exactly the same and their design was also almost the same. And the most important thing about these smartphones was that they were directly supporting google, meaning they were giving software updates directly to google and they got two major software updates which were Android KitKat 4.4 to Lollipop 5.0 and then Marshmallow 6.0.

Meaning that when these smartphones were launched, they had an Android KitKat version, then after that, they also got an update of Android Lollipop and Android Marshmallow.
And they cost only ₹ 6000. These smartphones were launched with 1Gb RAM and 8Gb internal memory. But only Mediatek's old processor was working in them. Then in 2014, xiaomi also entered India and brought its first smartphone Redmi 1s.

 And its price was also only 6000 rupees, xiaomi also launched its smartphone with 1Gb RAM and 8Gb internal memory but it had Snapdragon 400 (Snapdragon400) processor which was seen in the 12,000 smartphones at that time. And that's why xiaomi gave a tough competition to Android One smartphone and xiaomi's smartphone sold much more than android one.

But shortly after this, Google partnered with many other smartphone companies in 2015 and the other developing country, where they took their Android One project phones and made Android One smartphones from the local manufacturer there but that smartphone too Did not last long.
Then in July 2015, in partnership with Lava, Google launched the phone named Lava Pixel v1 and it also ran on MediaTek's processor and it was a 3G phone but this phone did not run much because it was more expensive than the price.

Then after this, Google made some changes in its rules and the limitations of the first hardware, which Google had imposed, like earlier, most of the control of hardware was with Google, meaning the hardware was given in the smartphone as Google wanted, but later Google gave it Gave full control of the hardware to the phone maker and then in 2017 Google partnered with Xiaomi. And Xiaomi already had very good smartphones which were selling very much in the market and the users were also very much liked.

Then Xiaomi did an experiment and Xiaomi's smartphones were already getting very good hardware.
They thought of bringing it to India with Android One. With which stock Android will also be seen in them, as well as Monthly Software Update, after which Xiaomi launched its first Android One smartphone named Mi A1. In this, software support was also available from Google.
It saw exactly the same hardware that was seen in MI smartphones as the Mi 5x I had seen.

We got to see a lot of changes in the Mi A1, meaning that this time the company itself could decide what additional features will be on the phone and what specifications will be given in it.
The software comes from Google, Xiaomi made some changes in it and Xiaomi gave some of its Pristall apps in it like Xiaomi gave its camera instead of Google's camera and also added some of its apps. Because this time Google had given a little discount to companies so that they can do some modifications in their smartphones.

But that should be fully stocked with its Android UI (user interface). But earlier it was not like that when earlier smartphones like Micromax, Spice, and Karbonn were brought with Android One, they had full control of Google and the smartphone company could not put any extra app in it.
Then after this, you also got to see the smartphones of other companies which were Motorola, HTC and Nokia. In almost all smartphones of Nokia, you get to see Android One itself.

The special thing of all smartphones running on Android One is that they get Android updates quickly, which is a good thing for every smartphone user.
The second most important thing about Android One smartphone is that for at least 2 years in these, you are provided with software updates by Google and security patch updates are also available on time every month and two major updates like if If your smartphone is running on Android Nought 7.1, then it will also get an update of Android Oreo 8.1 and then Android Pie 9.1.

The final thing in Android One is that Google provides its Android One software directly to the companies, then after that companies make some changes in the software so that the software is able to run perfectly in their smartphone and a little bit on their The app also adds, but they cannot be changed much because Google has already put Restriction on it that it is only small Minister can change the UI must be completely stock.

After that the companies test their smartphone and then launch the smartphone, but now the control of the software is also with the smartphone companies and Google has a limited control of the software and now the smartphone companies have to change their mobile Software Provides Google only delivers its software to those smartphone companies, that's why we need these smartphones Because visible mostly in call Bugs sometimes companies do not test them completely.

But at the same time, if the software was given directly to the smartphone by Google, then they would not get to see Bugs, as was the case with the smartphone earlier, they were directly provided with software by Google.

Now you get to see most of the smartphones on Android One itself as it is a good software that is directly provided by Google and it is fully stock due to which very few bugs are seen in them and this can happen in the coming time. It is that we get to see the support of Android One in most of the smartphones and in the recently launched Xiaomi Mi A2, you also get to see Android One itself, so that you can guess You can sing how popular Android One is becoming and most people like Android One because it provides a light and clean experience.
