It is clear that the relationship between Google y Huawei it is not going through its best moments and both firms have publicly acknowledged the problems. After creating together a product as round as the 6P, it would be bad news if the Nexus 7 2016 did not come true, but the requirement of the search engine company to leave out any logo that was not his own Pixel may have ended the project.
As an absolute fan of the Nexus philosophy the path taken by Google with the new Pixels is not understood. Those from Mountain View want to be the new Apple and for this they intend to convert a renowned manufacturer such as HTC o Huawei in your particular Foxconn. The former have had to go through the hoop, surely, due to their poor financial situation, but Huawei, being the third largest manufacturer in the world in volume of sales, does not participate in a Nexus 7 2016 or a Pixel to get "change", but for a brand issue.
It all starts with the Pixel, a concept designed for Huawei
We have already read it in different media, one way and another: Google had Huawei to develop the two terminals pixel that have seen the light this year. When the Chinese manufacturer learned that they would be products entirely under the brand of the Internet search engine, the agreement was broken, and those of Mountain View had to turn to HTC, who They have dropped that they carry out the production, but at no time are they named as architects.
For now, it appears that Pixels are exceeding expectations Google sales but that honestly doesn't mean anything. Smoke. Typical marketing rhetoric that even Microsoft used with its first Surface, a device that left a huge hole in the coffers of Redmond. Part of the charm of the Nexus is that they were good terminals and relatively cheap. The 6P cost in the United States $ 500 starting while the Pixel XL has iPhone prices. We will see what the final sales balance is, but let's say that it is not a terminal capable of falling in love, for now.
Nexus 7 2016: A truncated project?
It has all the earmarks that the disagreement between Huawei and Google has ruined the expected Nexus 7 2016, especially since we are almost at the end of November and we have not yet heard an official word from the team (we have not even seen a leaked photo), when it should have been presented alongside this year's Pixels. And that for a couple of weeks there were Big noise Regarding the model, there was even speculation about the possibility that it would premiere Andromeda.
The fact is that this time @evleaks' prediction It does not look like it will be fulfilled. Not because the project wasn't real, but because of a turn of events.
