Google on Monday unveiled a new line of low-cost smartphones in New
Delhi, hoping to persuade more people in India and other emerging
markets to upgrade their handsets. The
new phones will cost around $105 and will be the first to use Google's
Android One platform, which was designed to give developing economy
users a reliable and affordable way to get online. "The
pace at which users are adopting the Internet is unprecedented," Sundar
Pichai, senior vice president at Google who oversees Android, told
reporters in India's capital. "Almost all of this growth that is
happening in India and the world is due to mobile (phones)."
