Google has been pretty constant when it comes to
bringing Android One devices to more markets. Even so, these Android One
smartphones are not available in too many markets, not to mention that there
will not be introduced in well-developed markets where they would compete with
Nexus and Pixel phones.
Nevertheless, Google continues to spread Android One
love each year and another company helping the search giant doing that could be
Xiaomi. The Chinese handset vendor, the fifth largest in China, is expected to
launch an Android One smartphone.
The already introduced Xiaomi Mi 5X was recently
spotted POSTEL, the Indonesian certifier, but unlike the device that's now
selling in China, this one does not feature the proprietary MIUI. Moreover, the
description in the database confirms this version of Xiaomi Mi 5X runs software
developed by Google, which could mean one thing: this is indeed an Android One
device.
Unfortunately, we don't know when and where Xiaomi's
Android One smartphone will be launched, but we hope Google will reveal more
details during the Android O's reveal supposedly happening on August 21.
