Google teamed up with Micromax, Spice, and Karbon for the launch. But now, the system is available with various ranges of mobiles. It does not come with the most advanced Android version, which is the Pie. It accompanies every existing Android version on which our phones run on currently, i.e. Android 8 Oreo and above.
Although, certain companies are finding it difficult to support previous versions of Android to be used again because android pie mostly offers irreversible updates and any discrepancy can cause complicated issues. The supreme goal of the introduction of Android one is to build a dominated and controlled Google Android products, which are sold through the other hardware partners and not Google directly. The focus is on smartphone manufacturing companies who will join Android one and provide the customers a secure and firm version. Every smartphone will be free from duplicate applications extra services apps bloatware and only include what the manufacturers have put in.
That means the phones won’t contain additional services supplementary keyboards or news apps. Google directly maintained the systems and security of the earliest launched devices. In 2016 phones with the Android One, were introduced in Japan with the support of Softbank and now it remains to be the best-selling mobiles in mobile stores across our country.

Hence, with the devices of this OS get upgrades for two years and three years of Android monthly updates for security claiming the devices that are most secure in the ecosystem. A user would have android Q if he bought the device at Android 8 Oreo.
The updates are really fast reported Nokia users since one doesn’t have to wait for the manufacturer’s update notification. Update speed is also probably the biggest perks of android one. But recent reports show that the update adoption rates are extremely low, almost 19.2 percent of all active users and android members has opted the option to get Android 8 through upgradation.
