one bag mail here for pocket now with something of a philosophical question for you fine folks especially you fans of Android every year we expect our phones and our tablets to get more powerful more powerful more RAM better features and yet with regular use over time we have to expect those same devices to get slower and slower and companies are trying to address those problems Huawei with the undividable with the pixel but ultimately it would seem that Google's biggest strengths the diversity of the Android ecosystem is still one of its biggest weaknesses when you can run Android on literally anything with the processor it becomes a little bit more difficult to really hone in on that super tight hardware software optimization looking at the landscape I don't really think horsepower is the problem even our mid-range chipsets are capable of some pretty astounding feats you've got bones powered by the Qualcomm 625 that are out there shooting 4k video and when we leave the general-purpose computing land of consumer electronics and look at a single purpose platform powered by the same hardware we see some pretty incredible stuff last year we saw a fighter pilot AI that was starting to rival human fighter pilots that was powered by a Raspberry Pi Hardware in this phone is more powerful but it has to do a lot more stuff and a lot more stuff a lot less efficiently as we're starting to get little bits of information filtering in on Andromeda and Google future future operating system projects from Google is it time to walk away from the broader diversity that we enjoy and Android and start focusing in more on hardware and software optimization from the consumer standpoint would we miss that wider array of choices if it meant significantly better performance we've got a little viewer poll that probably just pops up above my head and drop us a comment down below this video to share your thoughts as always thanks so much for watching be sure to subscribe to this channel for more rambling vloggy videos like these and be on the lookout for our future MWC coverage i'm going to be on a plane next week to Barcelona to do some cool stuff out there and help us out with some sharing on your favorite social networks for packing out I'm Juan Carlos now some gadget guy on Twitter and Instagram and I will catch you all on the next video
