Android One makes a comeback in India with Xiaomi Mi A1
Tuesday, September 5, 2017 IST
After almost two years of hibernation, Google’s Android One is back in India. This time the company has teamed up with Xiaomi, one of the top online smartphone brands in the country, to launch the Xiaomi Mi A1. Unlike the first wave of Android One phones that included Micromax Canvas A1, Karbonn Sparkle V and Spice Dream UNO, the new Xiaomi Mi A1 has relatively higher-end specifications. Priced at Rs 14,999, the smartphone will be available online via Flipkart and Mi.Com and across partner retail channels from September 12. Xiaomi has also partnered with Airtel to offer additional 200 GB of 4G data to new and existing customers.
Android One affiliation means Xiaomi Mi A1 users will receive regular updates from Google, at the same time when they are rolled out to Nexus and Pixel devices. “With the latest version of Android installed, monthly security updates, and a guaranteed OS upgrade, Android One phones get the latest technology and security measures,” Google explains on its website.
“Android One phones ship with the latest version of Android installed, Android Nougat, and come with one guaranteed OS upgrade. And since Android One users are among the first to get new OS upgrades when they’re released, you’ll have access to the latest features and innovations even sooner,” it adds. Though for services and other product related issues, customers will need to contact Xiaomi.
