Back in September, we launched Android One in India—an initiative to make high-quality smartphones accessible to as many people as possible. In the last few months, the devices have been rolling out for sale online and in stores to Indians in cities big and small. And last week, our partner Spice launched another Android One phone—one made specifically for Hindi speakers.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.In these countries — with a combined population of over 200 million people — a wide range of manufacturers and network partners such as Banglalink will begin to sell Android One smartphones. In addition to Micromax, Karbonn and Spice, Bangladesh’s own Symphony will launch their first Android One phone with the Symphony Roar A50. All these devices will give people a high quality mobile experience for an affordable price, running stock-Android with updates from Google.With more hardware and carriers launching Android One phones in more countries, we’re excited to see the diverse array of devices our partners will offer in 2015 and beyond.Posted by Caesar Sengupta, VP, Product Management
