14 DAY TRIAL // Google has its lineup of Nexus devices that is getting larger with new smartphones and tablets every year. However, most of them are manufactured by third-party companies that sign agreements with Google on a yearly basis or per device.
For some reason, Google thinks this can't be good for its business and wishes to make its Nexus products from scratch.
According to a new report from The Information, people inside Google are now debating whether or not it's time for the search giant to build its Android smartphone from the ground up.
Google had this opportunity when it purchased Motorola Mobility a few years back, but it did not seem to care much for the US-based handset maker and decided to sell it to Lenovo.
Perhaps getting rid of Motorola wasn't such a good idea after all, especially now with these rumors of Google wanting its Android smartphone running around.
Google's Android strategy finds new ways to bring its products to market
For the time being, Google does not have the means to manufacture its Android smartphone, though we would imagine that such a giant company will find the necessary resources to acquire anything it might need.
Since the launch of the first Nexus smartphone, Google had been selling its devices through its online store so that distribution might continue in the same way.
Many carriers will probably want to offer Google's smartphones as well, which is how these devices will be made available in brick and mortar stores as well.
Now it all depends on how Google is going to tackle the idea of designing, manufacturing and distributing its own first Android smartphone without outside help.
All in all, these are just initial discussions, which might or might not end up with Google building its Android smartphone from scratch, so take it as an interesting idea instead of a certain fact.
