Android One: Software at It's Purest
People often vary the choice of the smartphones they buy mostly based on hardware and the features advertised by the manufacturers. Most of these people generally do not pay attention to the software.
The Software functions like the heart to the hardware and generally keeps the mobile device up and running for a longer time. Oneplus owes it's success majorly to the software on their devices. Apple has a greater control over the software on it's mobile devices as they are the only manufacturers of iOS devices. This control over software helps in increasing the longevity of the devices. In Android, Google being it's proprietor releases newest and latest software for Android devices. This mostly comes first to the Pixel devices produced by Google. Being an pretty expensive device, it is not affordable by all people. Google then released an program called Android One to cater to users of all budgets in the smartphone world. This program resulted in providing an good software experience in cheaper devices and kept them running for an longer time.
People not being aware of this program generally buy phones from the same brands they had been using earlier even though the experience would have not been satisfactory. Currently the major brands offering Android One phones are Nokia, Xiaomi and Moto. People can decide based on their opinions and also checking out whether the five pillars of an good smartphone are covered as quoted in my previous article. The best part of Android One is the assured software updates for two years from when the device is launched. This is results in smooth running of mobile devices on old hardware and better immunity from security attacks. Most manufacturers do not follow this practice and it results in an horrible user experience. People may also be of the thinking that changing to an new software experience might be difficult but Stock Android is one of the easiest user interfaces(UI's) to get used to. People need to use more of such devices to understand the benefits and the ease with which the device can be used. Overall Android One changes how the people interact and use their Android phones in the most positive way possible.
