Cherry Mobile One will be available with 8GB storage while MyPhone Uno comes with a 4GB memory. Both are expandable up to 32GB.
These Android One smartphones will also be available in post-paid plans of local telecommunications company such as Globe, Smart and Sun Cellular.

Working with great partners like Cherry Mobile and MyPhone, we have designed and brought to market these high quality smartphones at highly affordable prices. We cannot wait to see what Filipinos do with them,” said Caesar Sengupta, Google Vice President of Product Management.
