With new high end Android smartphones being released everyday, the competition for the best flagship phone with huge specs has reached its height. On the other hand there are very less number of Android smartphones which are low in specs and affordable for everyone. ARM has finally noticed this point and they decided to launch a new Smartphone just for $20 !
ARM $20 SMARTPHONE
The new $20 smartphone is expected to run on Android which will provide a easier usability and high customization. This low-end smarthphone will include single core ARM Cortex A5 processor which is fast enough for normal usage of a smartphone. It supports 2.5G internet data, which is acceptable for a smartphone of such low price.
For countries where smartphones are the main source of traffic for Internet, this invention would prove to be a big boost. The new cheap smartphone will help millions to access Internet who normally were happy with SMS. Some recent reports also says that most users are not interested in buying high end smartphones from Apple, Samsung, HTC etc, This report quickly entered minds of Motorola and they came with a cheap Smartphone running latest version of Android, the Moto G. It was a great success as it was sold in many countries in huge numbers immediately after its launch.
This smartphone running on Android can be predicted to have a few hundred megabytes of RAM. With a single core ARM Cortex A5 processor, we can expect only around 4GB of storage which is quite enough for normal usage of a phone. Moreover, this device is first of its kind, targeting totally different group of people than what most of smartphone brands do. Although there are few low budget Android devices like the Moto G, Android was running only on mid to high range phones. According to the reports, this phone should be a success in implementing Android on every price range of Smartphones.
Reports say that this smartphone will be available in market within few months. This phone will be a success in parts of the world where the smartphone markets aren’t that developed. Anyway, a $20 smartphone with Android can catch anyone’s attention.
