Infinix Hot 2
We can tell you authoritatively that the first Android One device in Nigeria was developed by French OEM Infinix Mobility. Infinix Hot 2 represents Google’s Android One project in Africa, Android One is a Alphabet programme where it is partnering with phone companies to create “high-quality” but low-cost Android smartphone. The programme was announced in June 2014 by Pichai and India was the first country where the company launched Android One phones.
According to Alphabet, Android One programme is its attempt to create affordable smartphones so that billions of people who still use a feature phone can buy a smartphone. Of course, this is the stated aim. We suspect that Alphabet has one more motive. With Android One it also wants to wrest back the control of the Android ecosystem from companies like Samsung, Sony and LG.
