Google has been in the world of mobile telephony for years and things have been going very well, especially thanks to Android. Google's operating system is anywhere in the world, being one of the most used operating systems on planet earth. By having an open source, it has allowed any technological manufacturer to introduce Android to their smartphone, smart tablet or any other mobile device.
Android is everywhere and over time, we will see Android in more places, such as small appliances, cars, etc ... Google knows the importance of its operating system and therefore wants the Android brand potential at any price.
The most interesting thing about all this is that, we have been hearing for years that Google could make its own iPhone and well, some of those rumors have some truth since the Nexus are Google's iPhones. Thus, the guys from Mountain View could manufacture, design their own software as well as their hardware, let's see what Apple does with its iPhone.
Google would be preparing its own SoC's
Under the same philosophy of Apple, Google would have in its hand, hardware and software. This step would be very important for the American company since they would enter a field that for the moment has not touched much. The information reaches The Information medium, which states that there are movements within the company that seek to manufacture a business device own made in Google.
The issue is whether Google will seek to manufacture its chips from scratch, buy a company that is dedicated to it or make a negotiation with a well-known manufacturer, such as Qualcomm, so that they provide the chips under the Google name. As they point out, Google has already started talks with several electronic chip makers and they will continue with these conversations until the end of the year.
The search engine would thus join the various manufacturers that are developing their own SoCs lately, such as Huawei or Samsung, and, in this way, Google would compete directly with Apple in the business world. The company under Alphabet could also introduce these processors to its future Nexus terminals or other devices that will arrive in the future, such as Android TV, ChromeCast, Chromebooks, Google Glass and other wearables that may arrive in the near future.
At the moment we can tell you little else on the subject. We will have to wait until a rumor or leaked information resurfaces. At the moment from the Mountain View company they have not commented anything about it, so when the river sounds, water carries. And to you, What do you think of the idea of Google making its own chips ?
QuAlcomm could design the soc for them although I doubt it is a possibility but not to manufacture them, they do not manufacture their chips, they are manufactured by tsmc and / or Samsung
The writing of the is painful.
