Google's bid to democratize Android just reached Europe. The internet giant hasannounced (http://google-tr.blogspot.com/2015/05/android-one-program-turkiyede.html) that Turkey will get its first Android One (http://www.engadget.com/2014/09/15/google-reveals-first-android-one-phones/) smartphone, the General Mobile 4G, on May 15th. The device is strictly middling given its 5-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 410 processor, 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front cam, but it will be the first Android One device to offer LTE. It's fairly affordable, too, at about $263 contract-free. There's no mention of where Google's initiative will go next, but the company hints that Turkey might not be the last European nation to get an Android One phone -- you may eventually find one sitting in a shop near you.
