Google is not bidding adieu to Nexus devices and will continue the program. Reports had surfaced online that Google is killing the Nexus line of devices for Android Silver. However, Dave Burke, head of engineering at Android and the Nexus program has stated that just because Google is launching Android Silver, it doesn’t mean that Nexus is going away.
“People just get excited by concepts and forget why we do things. We are still invested in Nexus. People have been commenting about Nexus because there is something else and they think that means the end of Nexus. That is the totally wrong conclusion to make,”
Burke said in an interview with ReadWrite.
Speaking about Android Silver, he said that they are not commenting on this program as yet and that the possibility of Silver does not mean Nexus is going away. Android Silver program will reportedly see Google partnering with device makers to produce high-end Android phones that will have a limited number of non-Google apps or allow users to uninstall them.
It is a good news that Google is not doing away with its Nexus line as they run stock Android and are the first one to receive latest Android update.
