What is Android One and why should buy it?

Do you know what is Android One? Is it different from other Android smartphones? I think many people will not know about it. Android is the most used mobile operating system in the world. According to an Android user, you should know about it.

Android One is Google's program in which you get software like Stock Android of Google Pixel on your phone. This program was launched by Google CEO, Sundar Pichai in 2014 so that budget phones get the benefit of Stock Android. Currently, this program has fewer budget phones and more mid-range and flagship phones. So in this article, we will know about what is Android One.

Before understanding the advantage of Android One, we have to understand the advantage of Stock Android.

What is Android One?

You must have seen that many different mobile companies say that they have Android on their mobile, but the Android software of each company looks different. This happens because Google gives its Android software to these companies and these companies then put their custom software, custom apps, and features on it.

It's like pizza - Google makes plain cheese pizza and other companies put their own toppings on this cheese pizza. Google also puts its own toppings on this cheese pizza and we call this Android pizza as Stock Android.

In Stock Android, you get smooth and light software because Stock Android consumes less RAM than other companies' Android and it does not come with useless extra apps which eat up the phone's memory and battery. Stock Android's design is also very good to see and because Stock Android comes directly from Google, Stock Android updates are also first.

Android Best High-End Smartphones

Apart from the smooth software of Stock Android, apps like Google Photos and Google Lens are installed in Stock Android. Google Photos and Google Lens are given below.

 Google photo

Google Photos is Google's photo app which comes installed on Android One mobile. The special thing about this app is that with this you get unlimited memory to backup your photos and videos, which you can view from other mobiles and computers also because the backups are cloud.

Google accepts 8 MP photos and 1080p for unlimited storage. If your photo or video is larger than this size, then Google backs it up by reducing it to 8 MP and 1080 pixels.

If you don't want to do this, Google Photos uses your Google Drive storage to back up. The Google Play Store also offers the Google Photos app for download.  With Google Photos, you do not have to face the problem of memory loss due to photos.

Another great feature of Google Photos is Automatic Albums and Memories. In this, by applying Artificial Intelligence to your photo, Google Photos understands when and where you took the photo and Google Photos automatically creates an album.

Apart from this, your friends can also put their photos in this album very easily. Google photo search is very good. You can search your photos by location, date, name of people, and many other things. Memories are another great feature of Google Photos.

Seeing your photo tells you what you did a year ago. If you went on your event vacation in September 2016, then Google Photos will automatically show you your event vacation photo on September 2017. It is a very fun experience.

Google lens

Another great app for Stock Android is Google Lens. Google Lens puts Artificial Intelligence in your camera. This means that you take a photo of anything; Google recognizes it and gives you information about that thing at the same time.

If you have taken a photo of a flower, Google Lens can tell you at the same time which flower it is, where it is found, and other such information. If you have taken a picture of something that you can buy online, then Google also gives you information about buying lenses online. This Google Lens feature comes installed on Android One phones.
