The Android One announcement was one of the highlights of this past year’s Google I/O conference. Google decided to create an entire category of devices that are set to conquer developing countries in various parts of Asia. The program was originally launched in India, and then expanded to Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Bangladeshi carrier Bangalink has announced a new device in the Android One arsenal.
This new device is named the Symphony Roar A50, and will be available by the middle of January for BDT 8,700 (~$111). The device will ship with a 8 GB microSD card and 1 GB of free 3G data transfer for the first month (primarily for OS upgrades and app downloads). For the next 5 months, users will get 300 MB of free 3G data. Sounds like a good deal to us!
