Android One—our global initiative to bring high-quality smartphones to as many people as possible—is coming to Indonesia later this month through both online and offline channels. This makes Indonesia the fifth country to roll-out Android One, following launches in India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.
In Indonesia, we’re working with leading partners Evercoss, Mito and Nexian to make high-quality smartphones for less than 1.5 million rupiah. Each one runs the latest version of Android (Lollipop) — the fastest, most responsive Android experience ever with up to 2x better performance than the previous version. The battery saver can help extend batteries by up to 90 minutes. Android’s new look, material design, has smooth scrolling and edge-to-edge graphics. There are also quick settings to conserve data: it takes just two quick swipes to turn off data and check data usage.
Android One phones also feature great hardware, like front- and rear-facing cameras as well as features particularly important to Indonesia such as dual SIM slots, an FM radio tuner and a microSD card slot for additional storage. Android One phones will always have the latest version of Android, automatically updating to the new version of Android soon after it is released (for up to two years).
Along with Android One, we’re also working to reduce data costs for people in Indonesia. Our data compression feature on Android One’s Chrome browser helps compress the amount of data flowing between the phone and the Internet. And Indonesia is one of the first countries where YouTube users can take videos offline to watch later during periods of low or no Internet connectivity. In conjunction with the launch, mobile service provider Telkomsel is offering to reduce data costs for those who buy Android One phones with a promotion that provides free over-the-air (OTA) updates and 200MB per month worth of app downloads from Google Play for the first six months.
We’re very happy to play a part in bringing Android One smartphones to Indonesia — another step in making high-quality, affordable Android devices available to everyone and empowering the next billion.

the specs is good but battery needs more capacity to support quad-core processor. Ideal capacity maybe around 2000 till 2500 for great phone like this. I wish there's an upgrade for battery...
ReplyDeleteCould this play INGRESS?
ReplyDeletesee the spec it's can play INGRESS
DeleteNexian just launched the first Android One in Indonesia for Rp 999,000... inside the box you will get Rp 100,000 - Rp 200,000 vouchers and when you buy online you will get another Rp 100,000 discount. Crazy deal considering this is the first Lollipop 5.1
