The Excitement of Android 1: A New Era in Budget-Friendly Flagships

I'm pretty excited today, and I want to share with you why. Earlier this week, I was talking about the Android 1 program getting a shot in the arm via Shou Me's me A1 currently in India, but it's going to come out to other countries soon. We're talking near flagship-level specs like high mid-tier stuff, but for very affordable prices. That was happening in developing countries, so why am I excited today? Well, let me give you a rundown of the latest developments.

According to two well-known leakers, HTC might be readying an Android 1 device of its own. Lab 2 fer a custom ROM developer that occasionally leaks news revealed that HTC's Ocean Life will have an Android 1 version. The device will run stock Android with a handful of HTC customizations, including Edge Sense, Zowie, and the HTC camera app. Heaven Glass also chimed in to confirm the information and shared a picture of the Ocean Light running HTC's Sense interface. We also revealed exclusively that Ocean Light is the codename of HTC U 11 Life. The phone will launch in the United States with T-Mobile, featuring a 5.2-inch full HD display, 16 megapixel cameras on front and rear, a Snapdragon 630 processor, water resistance, and HTC's Edge Sense squeeze gestures.

It looks like HTC's first Android phone will be a rebranded U 11 Life, similar to the way Xiaomi rebranded the Me 5X to create the Me A1. Motorola is expected to take the same route rebranding the Moto X 4. If that wasn't enough news, how about this? The LG V30S 64GB option will be $842 US and the 128GB option will be $886, compared to the Galaxy Note 8 64GB option being $966 with the 256GB option being $1,108.

But wait, there's more! Good news for all you OnePlus fans out there - there may be a special edition revealed next week. OnePlus is holding an event on September 19th in Paris where the company will reveal something new. However, before you get too excited, let me point out that this won't be a new smartphone as the OnePlus 5 has just been available for three months. What we will likely see is a special edition of the flagship made in partnership with designer Jean Charles de Casa Black. OnePlus has confirmed that it is teaming up with a French designer - tech advisor, unfortunately, the invite doesn't reveal very much, so we're not completely sure what to expect.

Our best guess is that the company will show off the OnePlus 5 and a new color option branded with the designer's logo on the back. Now, if you think that's much ado about nothing, remember that OnePlus did the same thing back in March when it joined forces with Colet and announced a limited-edition OnePlus 3T. It came in a new color at the time black and had the Colette logo engraved on the back but remained identical to the standard variant of the device in terms of specs.

That's generally reserved for the hardcore of the hard core, but let me know what you think in the comments below. My audience is smart - so smart that sometimes they're inspired by a business idea and then try to get the name of that business in a domain name. Their next perspective customer is searching their business name and they assume they have the dot-com and if they don't, they're giving their business away to the one who does.

That's the power of a.com - no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name. Dot-com and dotnet domain names give credibility and your online presence, and who doesn't want to be credible? Don't forget, you get 15% off when you use our coupon code Android when you think domain names think domain.com.

So, there you have it - the latest developments in the world of Android 1. With new devices from HTC, OnePlus, and LG, it's an exciting time for budget-friendly flagships. What do you think about these new devices? Let us know in the comments below!
