At the end of April, Google created a new hardware division and named former Motorola president Rick Osterloh as its head. The idea was to start manufacturing various gadgets designed from time to time by company.
Today, according to Telegraph sources, we learned that Google is preparing to design and build its own smartphone.
If the news is true, it will be a major shift in its standard strategy Companies which to this day works with major mobile phone manufacturers such as LG, Huawei and HTC to build Nexus devices that highlight the Android platform.
The new phone is likely to be released towards the end of 2016, and Google is believed to be in talks with mobile operators about the availability of the device.
It will be interesting to see what this means for all the hardware companies that work with Google to build Android devices and Chrome OS, as well as for the Android platform itself.
Speaking at Walt Mossberg's Recode Code Conference earlier this month, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company is investing much more in phones, αλλά δεν διευκρίνισε αν θα αρχίσει να κατασκευάζει τις δικές της συσκευές.
