Earlier this week there was an interesting presentation device which was not included in the pools of any specialized environment. The American Play Store started selling LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play Edition , along with a version of Sony Xperia Z Ultra pure with the same operating system of Mountain View. The strange is that this is the first tablet was leaving traces in different registers and everyone betting for alleged Nexus 8, which vanished with the unveiling of its final form.
In the world of hardware products that Google have the American company and helps develop manufacturing but other reputable companies. HTC, Samsung, ASUS and LG have been partners a list of devices Nexus always had a great reception among consumers for its great value for money and because it allowed them always have the latest version of Android without having to wait for the upgrade policy for the manufacturer. As a final advantage was not having the sometimes unnecessary layer of software added these not always successfully.
However, a few months ago, we have a new line of devices that have the imprint of Mountain View. The terminals Google Play Edition do not share the political price of the Nexus line, but if the benefits of software and policy updates .
far had been paraded by this prestigious carpet high-end smartphones such as Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC One. Sony Xperia Z Ultra is the first phablet although still a phone, but now with the arrival of LG G 8.3 Land Pad tablet is opened.
This team does not have too far from what is still a Nexus device price, it seems that the differences between the two lines are filed. The South Korean tablet was not having the expected host precisely the LG software layer that almost all media have criticized except as Knock On appeal, he will miss.
Other differences between Nexus and Google Play Edition
Both products are sold through the Play Store. Although in some cases can be found for other distribution channels, especially the Nexus. As we say, have a pricing policy highly differentiated and this is exacerbated if we decide to buy the Google Play Edition outside their official store. In other distribution channels, prices rise by the value given to stock Android .
hardware level there is also a difference. The Nexus usually have high end specs, but in terms of finish and some other aspect is less . For example, exterior materials are always a basic plastic with the exception of the Nexus 4 LG was slightly resultón.
Then we also appreciate that the Nexus always lack micro SD slot card. This is not due to savings in materials, but rather Google’s own interests that focuses on the use of cloud storage and content all related services are also an important business.
Ultimately, the differences are small details that each type of consumer can appreciate more or less.
Possible intentions
Both product lines seem to fulfill a mission for Mountain View.
Nexus facts seem to mark a standard of quality in the platform as far as hardware is concerned. Also set prices as we have seen from the first Nexus 7, but still no company this offering that level of specifications for a low price.
Meanwhile, the Edition Google Play devices promote the idea that pure Android, the one that comes straight from the AOSP is the best of all and that is what brings him more for the most advanced devices as a performance is concerned.
turn, is achieved fight fragmentation. Some of the teams that will probably commercial success may be subject to the same program controlling Google updates itself.
Spain at the moment, it’s just easier to buy the Nexus but maybe that will change in the future.
