The change is both expansive and expensive, since it seems that Google plans to spend enough to promote these devices in stores of operators and through advertising. In essence, this means that the company will spend to subsidize the costs of development and marketing for its hardware partners -., And maybe even help them to integrate features such as voice recognition and resistance to water
