This is what Sundar Pichai, the current CEO of Google, said in an interview. At the end of last year rumors emerged about the launch of a possible Google Phone, a Google smartphone, instead of a Nexus, a smartphone sold by Google but manufactured by another company. However, it seems that there will be no Google Phone, at least for now. Of course, Google will monitor the design of the Nexus with more interest.
Nexus and Google
So far, companies like Samsung, LG, Huawei, and HTC have designed and manufactured Nexus smartphones. Have you ever wondered how much of those Nexus was from the company and how much from Google? Actually, it was easy to come to the conclusion if we looked at the fact that the flagship of each year of each of the companies was very similar both in technical characteristics and in price to the smartphone that Google sold. It was obvious, therefore, that it was the manufacturer that contributed the most to each smartphone, and that Google simply installed the software. However, that will change from now on.
Rumors had even told us about the possibility that Google would launch its own smartphone, manufactured by themselves, in the style of the Chromebook Pixel laptops and the Pixel C tablet. But finally it seems that it will not be like that, that there will not be a Google Phone . However, Google will want to have much more to do with the design of the smartphone, we assume that both at the hardware level and at the level of visual appearance and manufacturing quality. In fact, the latest Nexus 6P came with a problem in the camera glass, which broke randomly, something that was not expected from a mobile whose quality is "Premium". Perhaps these kinds of things are what Google wants to avoid by overseeing the design and manufacture of the Nexus more. Be that as it may, it will be necessary to see if Google really succeeds, because at the end of the day, companies will not want Google to be the one to decide how the new mobile should be.
