The Nexus brand could be close to disappearing - Android Help

Google continues its strategy in the world of smartphones, with an own factory, Motorola, smartphones with creating a brand that is not Google, and a brand to third-party companies that manufacture smartphones, which is Nexus . In addition to the Google Edition. The logical consequence of this whole mess would be the disappearance of the Nexus brand.

All this stems from what we know of the new LG V510. So far, we knew it was a tablet that LG even if manufactured, would be Google. That took us to one final, is that it was a Nexus 8. However, the new LG V510 Photograph of which we have talked about today, has made the vision we had for the future of Android and Google change. And, what is more likely and LG V510 is finally a tablet from LG, LG G Pad 8.3, but a version Google Edition. And that brings us to a very clear conclusion, which is that the Nexus brand could be close to disappearing.

At the time, we considered that the future of the brand Nexus was clear. LG, Samsung, or the company that was, the Google smartphone manufacturing continue until the company finally bet on Motorola as producer. Motorola has already released to the market that smartphones are at the level of a Nexus, it seems obvious that Google can now opt for the American division to take care of their smartphones. Except for one aspect that has to be very careful and that is probably what led them to this situation.

Antitrust laws

Google has to fight the government agencies may consider conducting monopolistic practices. The availability of the world’s expanded operating system, and offer it to other companies get to do these depend on the system, then launch its own smartphone, does not seem too fair to the other. Suddenly, Google not only offer free operating system, but also launch the smartphone, without the other. And above, with faster updates and more optimized software.

Google

path could be clear. They just branded Nexus, and allow other companies to launch smartphones that are Google Edition, while they themselves maintain their own Motorola. Thus, it would seem that Motorola is a separate Google brand, although it is not entirely so, and would let other companies make phones with Google certificate, these being those who develop the software. So, they could avoid antitrust complaints, vital, because Google is always in the spotlight of government agencies responsible for these issues.
