Google Android One may not succeed in India: IDC

It was expected that Google might face a lot of challenges to create a marketplace for its latest launch Google Android One operating system. A host of analysts had earlier disregarded the operating system for being low quality. Now IDC has said that Google may face several challenges to sell the phones in the Indian market. The user response does not seem encouraging for the operating system.

The biggest challenge it faces from Android alone. Since the handset makers are already out in the market with handsets that cost less than or around Rs 2000. While the idea is great from Google, it is said that the company has launched it too late in the market. Had it done earlier last year, it would have faced less problems and created market. However, the loss will not be great since Android is also Google's own product.

It would be no surprise if a few months later Google declares to close Android One. We must be ready. Well only time will tell. But time starts taking shapes early on with several signals.
