By Google new version of Android is based on a processor, it costs the manufacturers much more time to updates for existing Android devices. That says a topvrouw of Motorola, which Google acquired.
How to customize the new version of Android on the hardware costs most of the time, says a topvrouw of Motorola, Cristy Wyatt, at PCMag. Google brings a new version of Android is often a smartphone. When Android 2.0 was that the Motorola Droid, 2.1 HTC’s Nexus One, 2.3 Samsung Nexus S and when version 4.0 was that the Galaxy Nexus, again made by Samsung.
The version of Android is optimized for the processor in that device, says Wyatt. “The rest of the manufacturers only sees it if you see it. Hardware is by far the most delaying factor.” In addition, the software must be circumscribed for the new Android version, and permission must be obtained from all providers in all countries the new firmware to roll out. That permission is necessary, because providers want to be sure that the new firmware works well on their network.
The reaction of Wyatt is in many ways remarkable. First, it is the top model from Motorola, the Razr, equipped with a Texas Instruments Omap4430, a processor which is but little different from the Omap4460 in the Galaxy Nexus. In addition, Motorola in a process that should lead to the acquisition of the company by Android-maker Google.
Many manufacturers are behind the scenes busy with updates of existing devices to Android 4.0. HTC gives a lot of phones from 2011 and the Desire HD from 2010, this year’s update, while Sony Ericsson all 2011 devices, of updates provides. Samsung also has all updates announced for the Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note, while LG’s wide range of smartphones from its Optimus line to Android 4.0. Especially a lot of cheaper devices will be no official updates.
