This phone is developed to address the needs by those with little income. May very well land here somewhere in 2015.

Isn't there a local smartphone manufacturer? They should make one Android One phone

Zest...yeah I guess SA will most likely be included in this since we have many low income smartphone customers.

These type of phones would sell well everywhere. Just ask anybody who is lucky enough to have a Moto G...

I must have one!

Actually it's pretty smart. Naming their budget OS "One" might give a "cheaper" perception of the other Ones
