Google Andriod 1 Afordable Smart Phone Now in Nigeria

The handset, called the Infinix HOT 2 (pictured below), runs Android 5.1 (Lollipop) at launch, but Google says it will be getting the new Android Marshmallow flavor once that’s released. Users will also get free updates via local mobile service provider MTN — as Google works to simplify (and squeeze) regional data plans to make the device more attractive to its target. The device has an RRP of N18,000 (~$90).

Google is ramping up its Android One affordable smartphone program with a push into Africa continent. The first Android One smartphone for the region is being made by OEM Infinix, and is launching in Nigeria today, with Ghana, Ivory Coast, Kenya and Morocco getting the device “over the next few weeks”.
Specs wise, there’s a quad-core MediaTek processor with 1GB of RAM, and models with up to 2GB of memory. There’s also support for dual SIM, and a range of colors: black, white, red, blue, and gold. Yes, gold. Android One is not skimping on the bling.
