Hearing about this itself made me feel proud that atleast someone is thinking for the disabled.According to the World Health Organization, “285 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision…About 65 percent of all people who are visually impaired are aged 50 and older, while this age group comprises about 20 percent of the world’s population and it is increasing day by day so rather than downloading various apps and software to accommodate their needs, the visually impaired are getting an Android smartphone developed specifically for them.
