Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)- The Android One program is going to introduce in three other countries in the Indian subcontinent over the next few weeks following its launch in India in September last.
Android One devices will soon go on sale in Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, allowing customers to experience the capabilities of a modern smartphone with standardized specs and the latest version of the Android OS at a low cost — typically around $100.
“Now we’re taking another step toward reaching the next five billion people: in the coming weeks, the Android One devices will start to go on sale in India’s neighboring countries of Bangladesh, Nepal, and Sri Lanka,” a announcement said.
Besides Micromax, Karbonn and Spice from India, Bangladeshi manufacturer Symphony will also begin retailing Android One devices, beginning with its Road A50.
It’ll be worth watching how these devices fare in the three new markets for Android One, as they have reportedly sold poorly in India, both online and in retail stores.
