Would be interesting to see what Lenovo do with the Nexus. Possibly a Motorola Nexus phone?01-30-2014 07:52 PMLike 0 - UJ95xRetired AmbassadorYeah that sounded weird to me too. "Last" Nexus implies that the Nexus line is getting the cull. Maybe the person doesn't have English as their first language and mistyped the tweet.

- Exactly. If anything, it'll be a "thank you" gesture from Google for taking this huge money losing machine off their hands. This will bring huge exposure to Lenovo and will certainly help them move up the market. I heard about Lenovo phones but this is the last name I think about when I think about phones. If they make Nexus, it'll change big time.
I can totally see this happen based on future Motorola phone (which is already in design stages).
What's I'm scared to hear is the "last" part. It simply makes no sense because just today Google was complementing Nexus 5 for helping with revenue stream (together with ChromeCast). The thing is, Google doesn't HAVE to sell Nexus so cheap just to break even. They can charge a bit more to make more money and Nexus will still be dirt cheap in comparison to competition. I actually feel bad Google is basically giving them away.
Also, isn't Nexus 7 the most popular small size Android tablet on the market? It's simply stupid to kill it01-30-2014 10:45 PMLike 0 - Exactly.

Hasn't the N4/N5 consistently been on the top of the phone charts (sales wise) for their life cycles though? Nexus brand has a lot of goodwill in the Android community. Outside of the 10 which has just sat there. I'd be surprised if it was completely killed.01-30-2014 11:17 PMLike 0

Hope that Google doesn't kill the project or at least still provides a similar alternative.02-01-2014 05:10 PMLike 0 - 02-02-2014 01:21 AMLike 0
- Can't disagree with you more. There is a decent amount of Google Edition devices and more to come (https://forums.androidcentral.com/e?...token=_flBfI9T) and I am certain Nexus line will not discontinue.
Granted, you can't exactly download a factory image for the Moto X/G either, but both devices are at least priced in a similar fashion and with Google at the helm seemed to be getting updates on nearly the same schedule as the Nexus devices.
Not trying to put down the GE concept, I just don't believe they are a lateral substitute for the Nexus line...but the Moto phones are/were in many ways.
Agreed. Of course, I also saw rumors elsewhere that the Nexus line was being discontinued...but who knows if those rumors also stemmed from this tweet?
Regardless, it's silly to panic and/or speculate until more official information is known.uh60james likes this.02-03-2014 09:34 AMLike 1 - I bet the biggest reason for the majority of non technical and androidcentral members for buying a Nexus is that it's $300+ cheaper off contract for an amazing phone that also get's first dibs on software updates. You are NOT going to see that kind of price anywhere if the Nexus line is killed off and that's too bad. And also that the Nexus works on every carrier unlocked straight out of the box, is that even a reality with Google Play Edition phones?02-11-2014 09:58 PMLike 0

I think he meant to say last. But I truly hope he's wrong.

BTW, I hope there won't ever be a Nexus for Verizon again, they truly messed up the last one and gave the brand a bad name, not the mention the Nexus 7 LTE debacle. Unless of course, it's out of their control, which is not going to be happen and is the reason why the N5 is not allowed on their network in the first place. The only hope of Nexus phone on Verizon is with VoLTE.02-12-2014 10:28 PMLike 0
