It is believed that the Indian version of Nexus One will be thinner than the original version launched recently across the world. It is also reported that the newer version of Nexus One will have fewer features in comparison to the original one. Moreover, the Indianised version of Nexus One will be priced lower.

This unofficial report or a rumor of Nexus One originated from Twitter, the social networking site. On it a TV producer posted a comment that spread this news.

The strategy that Google is having for India is that to get more customers and enable to make them use the services of Google through the platform such as Android.

India is the fastest growing telecom market and every year the country adds about 18 million new mobile subscribers. Moreover, around 127 million of the wireless subscribers in India access data services and due to this the country has emerged to be an important market for mobile advertising as well as other mobile services.

In the Indian market Google is also looking forward for the high usage of its internet based services. According to a report last year in September 2009, Internet users in the country had spent up to a third of their online time on the Google websites.
