Posted on September 16, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

One of the more controversial rumors to touch upon Google and its hardware efforts arrived back at the start of the year, with claims that the company would scrap the Nexus line as we knew it in favor of something called Android Silver.

Nexus is a word that resonates with many, if not all, Android enthusiasts. It’s a name that means much more than your standard smartphone branding. Originally created as a vehicle for new versions of software on reference hardware to developers, Nexus has grown into something far more vast and meaningful. Each year, despite not always coming with the latest specifications or best physical designs, Nexus devices are always among the most hotly rumored and highly anticipated smartphones and tablets.

Posted on May 16, 2014 by Stephen Schenck

Android rumors stretching back to January have been talking about the idea of Google retiring the Nexus family as we know it. It all started off with claims that 2014 would be the last year for Nexus devices, and they’d ultimately be replaced by the Google Play edition models like we have now, though possibly under some new branding.
