Android, loo nkqubo yokusebenza namhlanje ehlala kwii-smartphones kunye neetafile zabasebenzisi abaninzi emhlabeni jikelele, sele ikhona iminyaka elithoba. Nangona kunjalo, impumelelo yayo ayindala kangako. Kwaye yiloo nto, Android Enyanisweni, yazalwa ukuba ibe yinkqubo yokusebenza yekhamera, efana nekhamera ye-Samsung Galaxy namhlanje.
Kunomdla ngokwenene, kodwa yile nto uAndy Rubin, umseki wayo Android osanda kushiya iGoogle emva kokuba isikhundla sakhe sihlala ngomnye wabaphathi benkampani. Nangona umfanekiso osuka kwi-2004 wawukhe wavela apho ikhamera enenkqubo yokusebenza yabonwa Android, inyaniso yeyokuba ukuza kuthi ga ngoku besingenakuyazi ngokuqinisekileyo loo nto Android Ekuqaleni yazalwa ukuba ibe yinkqubo yokusebenza yeekhamera.
Kuyabonakala ukuba, kwaye ngokutsho kuka-Andy Rubin ngokwakhe, isizathu sokuba bakhawuleze bayikhuphe le nto kukuba intengiso yeekhamera ezinale nkqubo yokusebenza ayinakuze ibe nengeniso ngokwaneleyo, yiyo loo nto bakhethe ii-smartphones. Kwaye ngokuchanekileyo siyaqonda ukuba iikhamera ezixineneyo ziya zinyamalala. Kwelinye icala, ii-smartphones ngoku ziqala ukuba nomgangatho owaneleyo, kwaye kwelinye, iikhamera ezikumgangatho ophezulu ziye zaba nexabiso eliphantsi, iimodeli zaseNikon, Canon kunye neSony zitshiphu kakhulu.

I-Apple, ene-iPhone kunye ne-iOS, kunye noGoogle, emva kokuba ifumene Android, iminyaka elula ngaphambi kwabanye abakhuphisana nabo. Kwaye sinokuba siphila kwixesha elingasayi kuphinda liphindwe xa kufikwa kwii-smartphones. Ngokutsho kuka-Andy Rubin, "Ndiyakuqinisekisa ukuba akukho nto iya kufana nale nto kwixesha elizayo."
