A Quick Reminder For Those Purchasing an Android Device

To start, this is regarding some things I recently discovered with Android you may or may not know. In summary, not all Android devices are created equal. Unlike Apple's offerings, some Android devices do not have a screen reader built-in. The other day a friend of mine purchased an Android-based MP3 player from Amazon and thought I would be able to check out the apps that were preloaded on it. The device cost him $40 or so and was one of those no name brand devices. Although it had a typical Settings menu found on stock Android, once we arrived to the Accessibility screen Talkback was not present, only the Text to Speech settings. I was definitely not prepared for this and didn't have APKs of any of the Android screen readers, so was out of luck and didn't get to check anything out that day. This disappointed me because by this point I thought all Android devices had some kind of vision accessibility features preinstalled.
So, from a blindness perspective, unless you know of a way to get Talkback / Prudence / Jieshuo working on a device that has no preinstalled screen reader, it's most likely not a good idea to buy a cheap no name branded device. This is disappointing because we're left with no choice but to purchase astronomically-priced Android devices that have accessibility services already installed, that is, if we want to use the thing independently. If you have encountered a similar issue like what I mentioned here, let me know!
