If you are producing and selling any type of Android phone today, you may have noticed that many phones are very similar and it is hard to understand the difference. When consumers compare phones the discussion circle around megapixels in the camera, how much storage the phone has or how long the battery last. If you are planning to make a phone and release it in the market you need to ask yourself what market segment should you focus on and how should you satisfy this market segment.
In 2020 another 2 billion people will have access to a smartphone. That is double compared to today. Exciting and interesting projects are started globally to spread education via apps to the most rural areas of the planet. For an example Ericsson has partnered with UK government for 14 000 girls’ education in Myanmar and Appland is delivering the technology platform.
