That spec list is impressive but also goes some way to show just how hard Google is going to have to work if it's planning on getting Android One prices down to under $50. As we reported last week, that 5-inch HD panel likely takes up a significant portion of the cost, as well as the 16GB of storage that could have easily been halved.

Google has also revealed that it'll bring the same offline-playback features to African YouTubers as it currently does in Asia. If you're unfamiliar, people in bandwidth-strapped nations are able to save a clip to their phone for 48 hours, although there's more than a few caveats you'll have to deal with first.
