Earlier: July 25, 2015, 12:20 : As we earlier reported, Lava is going to launch its first Android One smartphone. Though, the event was first supposed to on July 14, but now we learn that it is postponed to July 27. As per the invites sent out by the company, the event will start by 12:45 PM onwards on July 27.

On the invite, we can clearly see ‘1’ formed by the words of the sentence “Witness the Power of the one that will never grow old, will respect your privacy, will keep you powered longer and will help you create memories”. This hints about the possible launch of the Android One smartphone by the company.

So, we need to wait for two more days to see what the company will be launching on the marked date. We will be updating you with the latest happening around this event. Stay Tuned.

Earlier: July 4, 2015, 18:56 : Looks like we haven’t seen the most of the Android One series yet, as Google is all set to reveal the next generation of its One series of smartphones. This time it would be the Lava Mobiles that the company is partnering with, the new Google device is supposed to be launched on July 14, according to the report from Economics Times.

The last year’s batch of Android One smartphones might have given good impressions in the industry, but the sales figures that were shared couple of weeks back showed that it was not hit as it was thought by the search giant.

Now moving forward, Google has decided to involve their partners in the process of making the device, earlier that was not the case. According to the reports, the latest handset is developed in close collaboration with Lava and MediaTek, which would be providing the chipset for this new Android One device.

Currently, the details about the specification are very scarce like only a few things are known about it including that it could pack 2GB of RAM and 5-inch (720p) HD display. While you can also expect the latest Android Lollipop 5.1.1 to be running on this device, which would have a stock experience.

It is known for the fact that last year’s Android One series doesn’t perform well in sales and might have been due to lack of availability of devices in retail stores. But this time around the company would be making sure that smartphone consumers in India should be able to purchase these devices from any channel.

Let’s hope Google gets to do right things by its Android One series of smartphone, because if they failed this time too, then it is possible that we won’t be seeing devices in this series any more.
