For those unfamiliar Android One is Google’s initiative to partner with manufacturers and provide both internals and software and to position them at a reasonable price point. It is the company’s plan “to bring high-quality smartphones to as many people as possible.” Users with Android One devices also get updates straight from Google without having the need to wait for manufacturers.

They share all of the key specs and vary in small details like available colors. As of now, all are priced competitively at Rs 6,399 which translates to Php4,624 when converted directly. They currently run on Android KitKat, but will be the first phones to receive the Android L update. Google also mentioned that Philippines will be getting our own share of Android One devices before the year ends.
