In 2014 were sold about a billion Android smartphones in However, only a small part (insignificant) of this equipment is available to update the Android Lollipop 5.
More than three months, Android updates will continue to arrive … but the same as always. This time Google released the Android 5.0.2 Lollipop for all Nexus 7 models
For those who have the Nexus 7 (2013) or the 2012 model then get to know that Android 5.0.2 Lollipop is now available for your equipment.
The Google therefore continues to work at a good pace for its Nexus line, unlike many manufacturers of smartphones / tablet that not even a have information about the Android update 5 in their equipment.
In 2014 the Google decided to end the partnership with LG in the production of Nexus line and started to develop the Nexus 6 to Motorola , and the device was inspired by the Moto X in 2014, however, with a relatively larger size.
The problem, however, is that the giant the search is failing to meet the demand for the device, according to Patrick Pichette , CEO. The executive said that Google is not being able to produce a sufficient number of device models to release it worldwide.
However, Patrick did not state the reason for Google is unable to distribute the Nexus 6 as you like, so there is no way to know if the problem is really in the machine’s production, or if the search for the device with Pure Android is not being expected.
When the Nexus 6 was announced, many consumers criticized its excessive size, and its price , since the Nexus line has always been characterized by having smartphones with good hardware at lower prices than its competitors , but that’s not what happened with the current top of the line.
Brazil , for example, the Nexus 6 has not been released, and will be difficult, since he would be a strong contender for the Moto Maxx, also produced by Motorola. In addition, he would face strong competition other phablets present in our country, as the Note 4, for example, which has a similar size, but has a number of infinitely greater functionality.
The Motorola Nexus 6 is not yet available in online stores. To be notified when it arrives click here.
According to an interview of Dennis Woodside, former CEO of Motorola, the British newspaper The Telegraph, the depression that the Nexus 6 is in the back served to house the fingerprint reader that would serve to unlock the device, as already do similar systems are in Samsung and Apple devices.
Woolside indicates that the reason for the removal of the fingerprint reader of the final product was the fact that Apple have bought the company that manufactured. As the competitors in this market were not yet on the same technological level, Motorola and Google decided not to include this functionality in the new Nexus 6.
The company that the Woodside refers is called Authentec that was acquired by Apple in July 2012, which is too long to be a valid reason to justify the sensor removal. Another factor that causes some strangeness is that Motorola and Google have been doing tests with sensors coming from other manufacturers such as Synaptics.
One reason pointed to have been a decision to remove the sensor Nexus 6 can have to do with the fact that the models manufactured by other companies claimed that you swipe your finger on the reader and not just to touch him as with what is used in Apple devices.
This caused delays in development of API (Application Programming Interface) to read fingerprints that Google was doing in order to allow other software manufacturers could use this sensor in their apps. However, there are indications that Google continues the development of this API and that it may become available soon.
The initial plans for the Motorola Nexus 6 (and probably the Moto X) were to put a fingerprint reader on the back of the device, where the terrain is with . the logo Motorola
This information was given by the former CEO of Motorola – Dennis Woodside – and current COO of Dropbox in an interview with “The Telegraph”. Woodside revealed that plans for relief on the back of the Nexus 6 was not only to make it easier to handle, but to allocate a fingerprint reader.
This did not happen because of Apple, which acquired the company that manufactures fingerprint readers better and now only applies its technology in the iPhone 6, with the name of Touch ID.
Woodside pointed out that after Apple has acquired AuthenTec (company concerned) the rest of the smartphone industry had to settle for second best supplier this type of technology for mobile devices, which have not yet found even near the level of AuthenTec.
Not getting pleased to offer its customers a product that would not have the desired quality, Motorola decided to abandon the idea of putting the fingerprint reader on the Nexus 6.

The statement is the former CEO of Motorola.
The Nexus 6 is now the top smartphone from Google. It is the phone that is the best that suits Android Lollipop and having more hardware set.
They concentrate itself several news and several unique features, but left out a feature that gets increasingly to be seen, even in the Android world. We speak of the fingerprint reader.
Nexus hardware features are in line 6 of the previous models and hardware is more balanced and at the same time gives better performance than users.
Filled with unique features and characteristics inaugurated a new measure screen in Nexus line, with its 6 inches, which is another great novelty in this smartphone family.
But Google and Motorola have left out a feature that the be increasingly seen in top equipment of different brands.
The fingerprint reader is the feature that is missing and that many would expect to be present in the Nexus 6.
never a reason for this absence was presented, but now appeared the first information about the real reason for his absence in the Nexus 6.
According to Dennis Woodside, former CEO of Motorola at the time that Google dominated the company, said in an interview that the only cause for the Nexus 6 not remember one fingerprint reader is due to Apple.
The statement may seem logical but is related to the fact that Apple have a virtual monopoly with regard to access to this technology. The Authentec company is currently the most important in this area and is the property of Apple.
The exclusivity that imposed the leading manufacturer of this technology eventually left for Google and other manufacturers only the second option available on the market .
When you have available only the second option and after being exhaustive tests made by Motorola, the conclusion was that this option was not good enough to be placed in the Nexus equipment.
The fact that the same technology is also available for competition also ended up being a determining factor.
The decision to remove the fingerprint reader was eventually taken already well advanced of the Nexus construction project 6, which is why this smartphone has this on it’s back a concave area, which would be dedicated to this player.
It’s not so strange in a next version of Nexus 6 this pass to take this one fingerprint reader that would increase the physical security level of the Lollipop and Android offer.
There is only one major players in the world of creating and selling smartphones, Apple is also condition the development of competition, forcing them to create their own solutions
