Definitely.
I would bet a lot that the cheap (between $50-$150) phones few years from now will be basic medium-size touchscreen phones running something like Android and equipped with a bit older hardware, maybe a generation or two behind.
The cheapest Android phone I can find in my country is Samsung Galaxy 5, for 224€. And that's only two years down the Android lane. Two more years, and we're close.
- patrickaljord 16y agoCheap Android phones are already here: http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/03/huawei-ideos-hands-on/ http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/03/huawei-ideos-hands-on/ "this thing is going to be launching for somewhere between $100 and $200 unsubsidized in Europe, Asia, and both North and Latin America. It's got 3G, WiFi, mobile hotspot capability for up to eight devices, and was apparently developed in direct partnership with Google, a sign that Mountain View is serious about taking Android 2.2 across the entire price spectrum."
- blub 16y agoI don't understand how it can be between 100 and 200. Why the large interval?
- jackvalentine 16y agoBecause of the large geographic spread of "Europe, Asia, and both North and Latin America". These regions all price phones differently.
