Re: Google Nexus Mobiles
Google is playing pretty smart, they don’t want to get involve into handset business. there are lots of players in the market so they don’t want to add another burden on themselves. When they started Android, they started it as open-source mobile platform. Launching their own handset business and modifying their android to match that would actually defy the whole existence of android. Ofcourse, they can do that but still. They did buy the Motorola though and hence launched their first Motorla Nexus (Nexus 6) but they actually wanted few patents out of it and once they got those patents, they sold motorola.
Google has always got their nexus built by other companies. Nexus One was built by HTC, Galaxy Nexus was built by Samsung, Nexus 4, 5 and upcoming 5 is by LG. Nexus 6 was by Motorola and this year Nexus 6 would be by Huwei.
There two major split in the market regarding handset sizes. There are people (like me) who likes phone which are smaller in size (4.7 - 5") and then there are people who like bigger phones (like Note lovers). Thats why google is trying to capitalize on both users.
I see Google is being so clever,indirectly running their own business.
Nexus5 by LG vs Nexus 6 by Huwie , which one should be better to get? Never heard of this brand called Huwei, unsure if the release date is same for both.
