in recent days, the possibility that Google could design and making his first cell took force with a rumor and began to rumor that the company could surprise in the coming months to present a new design navigation buttons Android.

in addition, HP introduced one of the first computers that can run Android apps like a device with this operating system.
in the world of Android news do not stop and here in Update Android, we bring . the most important on this operating system

Cell Google Pixel? The first fully mobile Google
It is not the first rumored on a change of strategy that would implement Google, seeking to have control of the hardware and software of their cell to offer the Android experience that the company really wants but this time it took more strength to a report published the Telegraph .
currently, Google has its cell called Nexus, but these are developed in conjunction with manufacturers of devices so Google does not have complete control.
the new strategy would allow Google to have control over the design, manufacture and software to deliver a better experience and also be able in the future to generate more revenue.
Google has a division that is responsible for developing and manufacturing devices with Pixel brand and last year the company surprised presenting the first Android device that was part of this series, Pixel C. Previously, only devices running Chrome Pixel OS, the operating system for computers Google.
the cell new Google could follow the Pixel C to be the second Android device in this series and the first cell Pixel.
Although this is a path that would suggest that the idea of a pixel cell is not so far-fetched, the change could have serious consequences.
on the one hand, major manufacturers of Android phones will be forced to compete with Google, the company that develops and enables Android for these devices.
This might seem a disadvantage to other manufacturers and could make other companies to assess in one way or another their participation in the ecosystem of Android .
This is not good for Google because even though they are the owners and developers of Android, Android devices that participated Google (even those made in conjunction with other companies) have failed to sell enough to be really relevant. Companies like Samsung and Huawei are what really sell more Android phones in the world.
Also, the Pixel brand is not as well known and has had inventory problems constantly. This is precisely one of the problems that could have Google if you choose to venture into the complete development of a cell: the production and inventory.
Even the Nexus 4 was one of the cell that has attracted the attention of the Google Nexus series but easily ran out despite having the support of a company like LG (infrastructure and experience in the manufacture of devices) for manufacturing.
on the other hand, this step would also lead to the Nexus series losing importance of participating manufacturers and consumers that could probably opt for the phone from Google.
This strategy could allow Google sumbit Apple in complete control of their devices, but why try to compete in the field if Apple and its best results have been its diversification devices and options? This could allow Android updates arrive faster to cell pixel Google -. Which is good
However, it is not clear what reaction might have other manufacturers and this could lead to harm entire ecosystem of Android. In addition, other updates are not sure how Google could differentiate your device. Will it be with the integration of technology Tango (the company already introduced the first cell Tango with Lenovo), Project Ara (Google announced that the first cell will be available next year) or Project Soli? It is not clear, but Project Soli could be the technology that would allow it to differentiate the most, but we do not know in detail how useful it could be.
It is a strategy that could be risky, so we’ll see if indeed the first cell fully developed by Google is a reality, at least for this year, as the report says.
More rumors Galaxy Note 7
rumors have not changed much in recent days and generally are with our view of the Galaxy Note 7 published a few days ago.
