this episode is brought to you by domain.com now why would Google make its own phone not a nexus phone per se that's made with a hardware partner but a Google manufactured smartphone a gphone Google is discussing internally about building its own smartphone according to the information which sites people working at Google now I know what you're thinking you're thinking Jace these are just ideas that are bounced around the halls of Google and never get out of the idea stage and I would agree with you normally except for the fact that Google in the past week has worked hard in trying to standardize hardware components giving us a clue that this is perhaps more than just talk now why why would Google want to make its own smartphone you might guess that they want to exert more control over a sprawling occasionally unruly ecosystem to address the biggest issues holding and write back fragmentation or update support and security vulnerabilities but Google already has deep control if not complete over the nexus smartphones so how would a true google phone help advance these goals according to the informations report from last week Google is looking at improving camera capabilities so phones can capture information from the environment that Google can use to create new valuable features adding more memory to processors to improve performance improving sensor hubs that can survey the world at all times without draining a lot of power and adding new sensors yes Google could work with chip makers like Qualcomm and Media Tech to put these features on their road maps and just hope that android oems will pick them up the alternative is to create a compelling smartphone that really showcases Google's advanced features and sell it directly to consumers back in pressure Android manufacturers into adopting Google's standardized hardware smart move if you can do it but Chromebook pixel and the pixel see Android tablet have set a precedent for this google used the former to lead the adoption of USB type-c while the pixel see appears to be designed with a more PC friendly version of Android in mind the real problem for Google is that they've hit a plateau in terms of what features android could offer based on software alone for more advanced features like that our voice control and machine vision specialized hardware is needed Google needs to make sure its wish list of components and features is adopted by chip makers and OEMs so that most new phones and tablets can support these advanced features the risk if Google fails is to have a divided Android ecosystem with an elite tier of devices with advanced functionality and then everyone else now to say that Google just wants to copy Apple is oversimplifying it Google wants the best of both worlds they need to demonstrate to manufacturers what is possible and what hardware components are necessary to show off the yet unseen advanced features of our beloved Android what do you guys think let me know in the comments below Krishna Bala I'm sending you a t-shirt for vanilla android com great choice I'm surprised someone doesn't own it already thank you for showing us the power of a dot-com now why is that because no domain name extension tells your story with the same degree of trust as a dot-com or dotnet domain name dot com and.net domain name extensions and Jack credibility in to your online presence save fifteen percent on domain names and web hosting when you use our coupon code android at domain.com check out when you think domain names think domain.com so Krishna hit me up on Twitter or Google+ and give me your address and I'll send you out that t-shirt straight away you don't want forget about my brothers and sister and work we're working super hard to be your source for all things and you
