In the Philippines, it’s not always easy to get a great smartphone at a low price. We’re hoping to help change that by working with leading partners Cherry Mobile and MyPhone to bring Android One smartphones to the Philippines.
These phones — the Cherry One and MyPhone Uno — will go on sale in the coming weeks, offering affordable phones with the latest version of Android (Lollipop), the fastest, most responsive Android experience ever.
Lollipop includes a battery saver feature, Google’s new material design look and feel and quick settings to conserve data. And these phones have great hardware features, including front- and rear-facing cameras, dual SIM slots and a microSD card slot for additional storage.
To help people in the Philippines save money on data, these phones will also include features such as Chrome browser data compression and YouTube Offline. And with the launch, our connectivity partners will be offering promotional plans to people who buy Android One’s that will help reduce costs for over-the-air (OTA) updates and app downloads from Google Play.
The Philippines is the sixth country to get Android One, but don’t worry, there are more on the way — stay tuned!
