| Nokia's development slowdown is causing the Android One project to fail |
In 2014, the Google Project introduced Android One, an inexpensive smartphone (priced at $ 100 or less) made in partnership with smartphone manufacturers. The smartphone uses a lighter version of Android One. Soon after the project began, the dynamism associated with it quickly subsided.
If Google and its partners do not meet the requirements of the project, especially since the first smartphones with the release of the operating system (Android One) were not attractive in terms of specifications and innovation, then Google finally abandoned the project.
In 2017, Google took over the project and this time turned to work with well-known brands like Xiaomi, Motorola and LG like Xiaomi. Besides mobile phones, it has also launched a good specification Mi A1. LG G7 One and Motorola One series.
Google’s transformation strategy has given some momentum to the deployment of Android One, as Nokia’s biggest contribution is to ensure that if Nokia is fully involved in the project, Google has launched the Android One process in a stable and enduring manner. Smart phone system. .
However, after the reintroduction of the Android One OS version after three years, the project turned into a mess as Nokia was the only brand that kept releasing Android One phones and many companies canceled the project such as Xiaomi Sui while 3G phone models Mi A Facing permanent problems, the company has stopped developing new phones with the release of the operating system (Android One), as is the case with persistent problems with OS updates and Android One phones, the sales volume of UI phones cannot be reached. MIUI.
Nokia has aggressively started launching unique smartphones like the Nokia 7 Plus but has been unable to complete these efforts due to the failure to bring quality phones to the mid-range or upper-class market. Phones that can rival the big Samsung and Google phones. However, Nokia's biggest drawback is not in cell phones. , But can provide timely OS updates.
We noticed that Google released Android 11 more than two months ago. However, the update has not yet been released on phones running this version. The operating system (Android One) is different from other previous versions. Phones that receive the update every month are different; B. Pixel, OnePlus 8, and OnePlus 8 Pro.
Samsung plans to do the same as the One UI 3.0 updates for the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 phones, which are expected to be released before the end of this year, and even OPPO has promised to provide updates to the Galaxy S20 and Note 20 series. A stable version of Android 11 OS for the series phones. Find X2 before December of next year.
Nokia released the Android 10 version that was released last year for Android 3.1 and Nokia 5.1 in October 2020. This is a month after the introduction of Android 11.
At the same time, Nokia has released a schedule to update the operating system version (Android 11) for Nokia 8.3, Nokia 2.2, Nokia 5.3 and Nokia 8.1 phones as these phones will eventually be launched. From the first quarter of 2021.
So we found that this conflicts with the basic idea of the (Android One) project, which is to get OS updates faster and faster than any other part. The delay in starting the update program means that Nokia has not met the main objective of the Android One project. To save it, Google has to rethink the entire project.
