KaiOS has already partnered with lots of renown brand like Nokia, Micromax, TCL, Jio, AT&T, T-Mobile. The huge investment by Google is to make it a better platform for users. The OS supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, and GPS which was the main initiative to bring next billion people online.
The most used app like facebook, twitter, and WhatsApp have already headed towards Kai OS. Google will now help to develop the well known and useful apps like Google Maps, YouTube, Search and even the Google Assistant for it.
