Why Android One Is Launched

The Android One program lets Google dictate what kind of hardware manufacturers use in their devices so that they can give a quality Android experience even with minimum hardware requirements. Google will also allow them Play Store access so they don’t need to pile them with additional skins and specific apps – users can download local apps directly from the Play store if they need to. It Mean Google Will Have Full Control On Android One Unlike Android.
