Google revealed its new Android One operating system today at its Google I/O developer conference. Google already has 1 billion active Android users around the world, but there are still 5 billion other people in emerging markets that don’t have smartphones yet.
Android One will be stock Android, like you would find on Google’s Nexus line of devices. The operating system also allows carriers to push recommended apps to users. The operating system will also auto-update.
Android One will act as the reference operating system for emerging markets. Google is launching its own Android One smartphone, which will cost less than $100.
