If you had not heard of Android One, well it was originally an idea by Google in partnership with local manufacturers, to produce low-priced smartphones to be sold in emerging markets. These devices are made to Google’s specifications and runs on stock Android. All Android One phones are guaranteed one OS upgrade, whereby the security and system updates are handled by Google themselves.
Well, the latest Android One phone announced, the GM6, comes from Turkish manufacturer, General Mobile. It is the first Android One device to feature a fingerprint reader, which is placed at the bottom of the screen, and also acts as its home button too.
The General Mobile GM6 is powered by a MediaTek MT6737T chipset with quad-core processor, helped by a generous 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. It has a 5-inch HD (720p) display that is protected by Gorilla Glass 4. In terms of imaging, it has a 13MP PDAF rear camera with Dual LED flash, while the front selfie unit is 8MP that’s complete with selfie flash. The device runs on Android 7.0 Nougat out of the box, and keeping the lights on is a 3000 mAh battery.
No pricing information is available at the moment of writing. Though, it is expected to be only sold in Turkey. There is a possibility that it would also be sold in more countries, as Google had also recently announced that they do consider selling Android One phones in the US too. The GM6 does look like a compelling device. Would you buy an Android One device if it is priced right? Let us know in the comments below, or on our Facebook page.
