Building for the Next Billion

From 2016 to 2020, 1.6 billion people will start using a smartphone for the first time — not tech-savvy twenty-somethings from Silicon Valley, but all sorts of people from India, China, Indonesia, and the most remote corners of the developing world. These people are the next billion, and they are the face of today's explosive growth in the mobile ecosystem. Building for the Next Billion is a podcast about Android development where Tanay Agrawal and Adwait Vyas, Product Engineers at SocialCops, discuss leveraging constraints like poor memory, expensive data and low screen resolutions in smartphones in developing countries not as roadblocks, but as steps towards building a resilient product for the next billion users.
