This AC article on the multiple nexus devices is very good article. I am sure many have read but in short article gives you the impact of launch of multiple nexus devices would have on Android as a whole. I want to dive into some points that haven't been discussed or debated about. Hypothically let say this rumor about nexuses are true then let's say five manufactures are Samsung, HTC, Motorolla, Sony and LG. Lastly in this hypothetical that all these major companies making nexus smartphones with Google to be released by the end of year. In addition these fives nexus would make their way to the four major mobile carriers. ( VZW,TM,SP,ATT) Now here comes the questions.
Hypothetical Question 1.
What media outlet will Google choose to announce these devices together and when?
Hypothetical Question 2.
If these five nexus smart phones are sold as unlocked gsm versions how will they split these devices among the gsm carriers?
Hypothetical Question 3.
If they make CDMA versions of nexus smart phones will all five come in CDMA versions?
Hypothetical Question 4.
Ultimate how would Google make getting five nexus smart phones gsm or cdma equal across the four major mobile carriers Sprint,Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T?
My thoughts.
All nexus devices have been announced is various outlets. The first was Nexus One announced on web and pre-play store. The Nexus S was demoed by Eric Schmidt at Web Summit 2.0 then it was officially announced on Google's Blog. Samsung and Google announced Galaxy Nexus at the Samsung Unpacked. Finally the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q at Google I/O. Back to question one which looks like they will either come up with event or make announcement through their blog or play store. I think major focus of announcement on these five devices would be the Play Store. That being said I don't count out the fact there may be a press event or blog announcement.
On the mobile carrier side of this hypothetical leaves hard press answer that some carriers will be missing out on devices and as well leaves the possibility not all the carriers will have CDMA version or a non unlocked gsm verison. In a crazy world each mobile carrier would have all five nexuses giving us choice 25 choices of unlocked, gsm and cdma choices. What I think is possible in this hypothetical is we will have five gsm nexus smart phones sold on play store then have few out five on different carriers. How Google/Mobiles Carriers determine the fate of the five nexus goes beyond my comprehension even though this just a hypothetical.
