If you will see a $50 worth smartphone in the market made by Google, will you buy it? Google has been known for making quality phones, such as with its Pixel series. Now, the tech giant is looking to partner with a company from the second most-populated country in the world, India. Here's their plan: make a $50 worth smartphone for rural areas to access gadgets. Another thing is to beat Chinese companies. Here's why.
This may be the new cheapest smartphone you'll see
Whether to beat Chinese companies or provide rural communities with smartphones, the question still lies: is it possible to create a $50 smartphone?
Kiranjeet Kaur, senior research manager at IDC, warned that it may not be possible for India to create this cheap phone-- despite Google's presence in it.
So far, the budget phone in India ranges from $70 to $100. But pushing the limit to $50 may be a difficult goal to achieve, said the analyst. Not only that, but rural Indians may still be unable to purchase a $50 phone.
Are you willing to buy Google's $50 smartphone?
