A Great Nexus Phone is Now More Important Than Ever Before

A thoughtful opinion piece from XDA Developers:

Why A Great Nexus Phone is Now More Important Than Ever

I'm not sure that it accomplishes much more than plead for two really jaw-dropping Nexus releases this year, but the emerging markets/service economy content is an interesting frame for the discussion.

Although I believe the reality is its all marketing, A great phone at a great price would be nice, but if the market bears 800 to 1100 dollar devices why settle for less. If you can eliminate sd storage and make battery changing impossible you can sell more data for the carriers more quick charging platforms for the oem and after market mfgs. As long as we and I include me fall for the next generation little tweaks and losses because its new not necessarily innovative or better, we will get marginal yearly improvements. Real innovation justifying the inflated costs doesnt move the shareholders needles who are the real customers of any company. Samsung Moto Huawei etc arent in business to make phones they are in business to make money

Android One targets emerging markets but it's currently a similar spec. If they're all the same, how will it stand out?
