Until quite recently, the internet has been flooded with reports
about new Google partners for the next Nexus phones. Market as well as
industry experts had concluded that the latest Nexus phone would be
manufactured by two cell phone manufacturers, and the choices had zeroed
in to LG and Huawei. In a recent confirmation by a Huawei executive,
the company is working on the next Nexus phone. However, the executive,
on terms of anonymity, denied making any statements about the hardware
specifications of the upcoming Nexus.
The Conflict Around Huawei Manufacturing the Next Nexus Phone
There are at least two reasons why this news seems to be surprising to many Android fans. Primarily, because Huawei does not enjoy the reputation as much as other large cell phone manufacturers do in the US. Some have accused the largest cell phone manufacturer of China of passing information to its home government, although the report is still largely unconfirmed. Also, and not many are aware of this news, is that the allegation revolved around its telecommunications infrastructure equipment, and this did not include products for end-users.
The second reason involves Google. As is widely known, quite a number of Google's services are not allowed to operate in China. These notably include the famous Google Search, its Maps as well as its email application.
Given the circumstances, the partnership between Google and Huawei for the next Nexus phone seemed highly unlikely. However, when asked about this development officially, the China-based company replied that they were willing to work something out about this deal.
Also, during a conference this March, Google's top boss was reported saying that the majority of the developments that have been happening in the Chinese phone market were attributed to the use of Android operating system, and therefore the company is passively present there in a big way. He also did not rule out the possibility of offering the Google experience to customers in the country.
How does Huawei's Next Nexus Phone Benefit Both Parties
There has never been a time in history when a business deal has not helped the involved parties gain. In the Google-Huawei Nexus deal, both parties stand to gain something.
To begin with, Huawei might see this as an opportunity to make a comeback in the US market. Although the reports that suggestively tarnished the Chinese company's image in the US cellular phone market did not precisely point out the equipment that was under question, mass sentiment moved against the company. Partnering with Google for the next Nexus phone, which has its home base in the United States itself, will help give Huawei a much needed boost if it serious in selling end user products in the western country.
In similar terms, Google certainly would have hoped it was allowed to resume operations in the most heavily populated country in the world. Huawei is the largest cell phone manufacturer in China, and with them as hardware partners for the next Nexus phone, Google indicates that it still hasn't lost all hope of making a comeback.
When asked to comment on these developments, Google denied doing so on grounds that it did not comment on speculations.
