Google's Ice 2, the N13,000 sleek droid

Hello there techies, something good is happening and I'd be damned if I don't let you in on it, Google is up to something real good, expected to hit us this year's September, and trust me me when I say you'd love it! The ICE 2 smartphone.

Me when I first saw the specs of the Google Ice 2 project:

Yes, this is all about a smartphone and NO it's not a flagship kind of piece, it is rather an entry level kind but the price when compared to the specs is just going to blow your mind!

 The 5.5 inch simple beauty is expected to come rolling in by September for just $40, a.k.a N13,000 only. Google is at the forefront of this in conjunction with a Japanese OEM, Freetel.

Though an entry level piece it is, the device is expected to come with coo features like:

• Google Play Protect
• Latest Android OS
• Freebies from MTN as rumour has it Google is doing some partnership with the Telco giant.
• Good quality which Freetel is quit renowned for
• And of course Google GMS certified.
