Android fragmentation is tired and lazy greedy manufacturers? Go to the Nexus

Many Android users complain about the fragmentation of the operating system, and their grievances are justified. Given that dozens of submitted currently on the market of Android-devices have blurred between different versions Android, from 2.x and ending with 4.1 of the operating system integrity in all of the models are not talking accounts.

In fact, it is impossible to avoid such a situation, because the operating system is improved, therefore, increase and system requirements to it. Many of the old models of smartphones from different manufacturers simply can not physically pull the latest version Android 4.1. It is quite another - a relatively fresh, not so long ago released a model with a good, powerful stuffing. Here the problems begin.

Someone gives the example of the situation with the iPhone (often do themselves iPhone owners). Indeed, they are all very good, and even 3GS users were at one time upgrade to version 5 iOS. But it is necessary to take into account one very important fact: Apple controls every detail in their developments, as are producers of both the smartphone and the software to them. Android problem is that the OS can take any smartphone manufacturer (the same HTC), saw through her unrecognizable, hang various svistelok and serve as its own product. On the one hand, this is good. Users get an alternative version of the OS having different from the interface of default. But it works only when the product release. If we think about the prospects in the future, everything becomes very sad.

Here comes the long awaited update. To be precise, it sounds like «Google released a new version of Android». Naturally, the developer of the operating system has been its improvement and development. After that, other manufacturers should take the new OSes, to tie it all their "features" previously achieving compatibility of these features with the new version, and then declare the joy that their users can also upgrade. For some reason, many overlook one important detail here. Google also makes smartphones (of course, in fact it now produces the Samsung, but the specifications indicate it by Google). Many are confused in how to distinguish from other Google Phone Samsung. All Google Phone models contain the word «Nexus» title. And if you want to forget about fragmentation, to rid yourself of this indignation when the manufacturer of your smartphone traditionally scored update, easy to use, clean and fast Android, then it is time to spit on all these HTC, Sony, Samsung and buy Nexus.

Remember, what device took place the presentation of Android Jelly Bean? It was the Galaxy Nexus. Which smartphone is the first to get 4.0? It was the Galaxy Nexus. If we look at history, all the Nexus first received major updates, starting with Nexus One, the produced HTC. That Nexus One is the first smartphone released with Android 2.1. He first received 2.2 and 2.3. Pretty fun to watch the situation when Samsung rolling out its most-most new smartphone Galaxy S III with Android 4.0, while Google Phone users (not only the Galaxy Nexus, but the two-year Nexus S) already in full master Android 4.1.

Why it happens? Obviously, in this case we have the same situation, which is present in the case of Apple and the iPhone, so we have a single manufacturer (customer) of iron and software. Naturally, the Google developing a new version of the OS for their devices with the future, and users get the new Google Phone version of the next day after the official release.

And what about the other manufacturers? HTC said that the Desire HD even receives 4.0, and, most likely, the same fate awaits Thunderbolt. Samsung is still prepared to update 4.1 S II and S III. Sony modestly announced that models are not Xperia 2011 will receive 4.1.

Of course, giving up the choice of devices from several manufacturers, to some extent, you feel restricted, however, that gives such freedom? Guglofony very beautiful and stylish, not to mention their hardware stuffing. Maybe it's time to forget about all these Eychtisi, Samsung, Sony and buy Nexus?
