[Google could abandon Nexus line to adopt the program ... - Xpert Mobile

You must have heard of the Nexus phones. But if you do not know exactly what it is, we explained. Each year, Google chooses a mobile phone manufacturer to partner up and thus launch a smartphone with pure Android, no bloatware and faster updates, coming directly from the Giant Mountain View. In short, the Nexus line is quite acclaimed by audiences and always gives us great cell. The latter is the Nexus 5, produced by LG.

The site Android Police, earlier this month, published a confidential slides belonging to a presentation that talks about this Silver program. But, according to them, this presentation was made at the end of last year and they could not confirm whether such a project was still on Google. however, the site The Information has more information about it .

According to them, the Android Silver would work like this: every year, Google choose some top smartphones line, or “premium” and help the manufacturers to the costs of development and marketing. In return, she would have more control over the software, removing all apps of dubious quality, such as bloatwares of manufacturers and providing faster updates, as with the current Nexus. Additionally, Google assurance that they would be updated any longer.

Currently, the company sells the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S4, Sony Xperia Z Ultra Pad and LG G 8 with “pure Android”, with the bonus of receiving Android updates just days after the Nexus.

yet according to The Information, the program will start to come into force in 2015, initially in the U.S., extending then to the rest of the world. With an investment of over $ 1 billion, the project will feature kiosks throughout the city to promote “premium” devices. That’s a good idea, considering that few people actually use the bloatwares of manufacturers. As already published here, in the case of Samsung, users spend just over 6 minutes per month using their native apps .

And you, what did you think of this idea?
