Google Launches Android One in the Philippines

Listen to article

Ngayon ay opisyal na pagdating ng Android One sa bansa. Para sa mga hindi pa pamilyar, ang Android One ay ang pandaigdigang inisyatibo ng Google upang magdala ng murang at de-kalidad na smartphone sa mga umuunlad na bansa tulad ng India, Indonesia, at Pilipinas.

Bilang bahagi ng Android One program, ang higanteng search ay nakipagtulungan sa dalawa sa pinaka-popular na lokal na tatak ng smartphone na si Cherry Mobile at MyPhone. Kasabay nito, inilunsad ng Google at ng dalawang partner na tatak nito ang Cherry Mobile One at MyPhone Uno.

Maliban sa pagdadala ng de-kalidad na hardware sa mga Pilipino sa tulong ng kanilang mga kapartner na tagagawa, ang Google ay nakipagtulungan din sa mga lokal na telco na Smart at Sun Cellular upang magbigay ng libreng over-the-air (OTA) updates sa loob ng unang anim na buwan, pati na rin ng libreng pag-download ng mga app nang walang karagdagang bayad sa parehong panahon.

Kasalukuyan kaming nasa site para bigyan kayo ng maagang preview ng dalawang Android One na mga device na inilunsad ngayon, kaya abangan ito.

cherry mobile and myphone are just rebranded karbonn and micromax so technically, they would be the one releasing android one devices. It’s not really about cheap or being the most popular of the three. Starmobile is a real pinoy phone and is not rebranded that is whe they weren’t partnered with android one.

Sana Starmobile na lang kinuha nila or MyPhone. Sa lahat ng local smartphone companies Cherry ang pinaka-sirain at walang kwenta ang post-sales.

Android One phones have to be cheap and have to appear cheap to attract the target market. And since CM/MyPhone attracts that market…it makes good business sense to partner with them.

6months free OTA via smart/sun? Pero two years pa rin ang support ng google para sa OS diba? Mahalaga dito rin ay price. Kapag lumagpas yan sa P5k, olats.

i lol’ed at these cherry haterz.
Starmobile? Seriously, is your hatred so intense that you’d rather waste money on overpriced pieces of cow manure? Come on, cherry and myphone’s OEM partners, Karbonn and Micromax had already launched these phones in India. Basically, there’s nothing Google can do when these OEM’s have already partnered with these guys.

karbonn and micromaxx as well as xolo phone mga rebranders lang din yan sa india. di sila nakikipagpartner dyan, oems lang tlga mga partner ng mga yan..ska open sa lahat ng brands yan basta makuha nila dapat ang requirements ni android one
