While
Android fans are eagerly waiting the new version of the operating system, a
media report has hinted that a Nexus smartphone is in the making. Multiple
reports earlier this year said that Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC will build
at least two devices for Google.
If the
reports are considered to be true then the next Nexus device, which is
manufactured by Huawei, will have come with Daydream capabilities, as remarked
by Huawei director Richard Yu in an interview. Recalling the Daydream, then
it's a Google's home for virtual reality. The platform will come with Android
N, and will allow high-end smartphone users to view redesigned content tailored
for VR headsets.
The news
was confirmed by the general manager for Huawei's Consumer Business Group
Charlene Munilall in South Africa who said at the launch event that they are
doing the Nexus again.
In an
interview with GearBurn, the Huawei executive Munilall stated, "The Nexus
device is a very niche product loved by techies around the world. But the
buyers of the instrument are minuscule in number. We're doing the Nexus again
this year, by the way."
“The operators generally do not take up the Nexus device,” she
continued. Recently, Google Chief Executive Sundar Pichai had said that Google
would continue to release Nexus devices. The software giant will not
manufacture its hardware, but Google plans to be more involved with Nexus
device.
Pichai
noted that the future Nexus devices “may not run stock Android, but rather Google would focus on
building in more software tweaks to Nexus devices”.
