Google Nexus: The Best way to Experience Android

Android is to iOS what PC is to Mac. Everyone remembers those horribly annoying analogy questions from the SATs, only they never seemed as straightforward as this one. When Google announced its mobile operating system, Android, in 2007, it was apparent from the start that the open-source platform would be the chief alternative to Apple's iOS, which is featured on their flagship iPhone device.

One of the primary differences between the two mobile operating systems is the fact that Android is designed to run on multiple devices, giving users the option of choosing the phone that's right for them. While there are dozens of Android-based devices on the market, arguably the best way to experience the software is through the official flagship line of devices known as Google Nexus.

Google Nexus devices are released directly through Google, with a new model unveiled every year since the first Nexus phone was released in 2008. Working with the top names in smartphone manufacturing, Google combines the best of technology and design with the latest version of their software to offer consumers their notion of the ideal smartphone.

For consumers who prefer the freedom of choice and the option of customization when it comes to their smartphone, devices running Android are the way to go. For consumers who enjoy the Android platform specifically, experiencing the OS in its purest form is a must. Such is made possible via the Google line of Nexus devices.

Why Choose Nexus?

With literally dozens of Android phones available, it's difficult to discern which is better than the next. Some have larger screens while others have faster processors, and then there are the devices that are exclusive to particular wireless carriers.

The Nexus line of devices solves the last issue, exclusivity, by being released directly through Google as unlocked devices.

Another benefit of choosing the Nexus line of devices is users receive software updates directly through Google as they're released. The latest version of Android is Jelly Bean, which boasts features like the ability to wirelessly share data with other devices via S Beam or wirelessly display content from your device on a big screen. However, only a few Android devices are currently upgradable, mainly due to carrier restrictions or delays.

Most phones running Android are also loaded with software, or a skin, from the phone manufacturer that offers additional features. While the skins sometimes do provide great bonus features, more often than not they're cumbersome add-ons that only serve to slow down the device. Nexus devices are void of any such handicaps, allowing users the truest experience of Android.

Finally, with the latest release of Nexus devices, which includes a smartphone, a 7-inch tablet and a larger 10-inch version, Google has once again elevated the status of their products to be among the best currently on the market.

The Nexus 4, with its 4.7-inch screen and 1.5-GHz quad-core processor, has been named one of the best smartphone releases of the year. The Nexus 10, on the other hand, offers the highest screen resolution of any 10-inch tablet on the market. It's also cheaper than the iPad.

Users in search of the perfect marriage between the best of technology and Android will find the highest degree of satisfaction in the Google Nexus line of devices.
