AndroidDownloadBlog |The #1 Site For Android Tech: Google+

Last year, a company called Phonebloks released a video about a concept device which would revolutionize the tech industry once it got implemented. Being merely a concept, the project needed funds in order to become a reality and trust me when I say this, the project got immense response and Motorola started working closely with the person behind it on something we came to know as “Project Ara”.

Much like the video which Phonebloks released showing how an endoskeleton of a smartphone can be used to add the things that you like and remove the things which you don’t require or might not require at a particular time, Motorola released images of a beautiful looking device which followed the same idea. Even the people who are skeptical about this project should realize that a simple phone which, with upgrades can become the phone that you want instead of the phone which is almost perfect for you because it lacks in an area or two.

After the sale of Motorola to Lenovo, Google retained this project in order to work on it because they saw potential in it, so much so that they’ve said it will release sometime next year for only $50. We understand that the $50 price tag would only fetch us the basic phone which will be released and the upgrades will have to be bought from different vendors or maybe one “Blok” store which will have camera bloks, processor bloks, battery bloks etc. through which you can create a phone which suits your needs.

In a video, Project Ara team members talked about 3 versions of the device. One which will be the smallest with a 4 inch display, a medium sized device with a display ranging from 4.3 inches to 5 inches and then a phablet version which would have a screen of over 5 inches. The team also labelled the project as Google Ara instead of Project Ara so we know what it would be called later on.

This, to me at least, seems like something which will attract a lot of attention from all markets. Would other companies also adopt this concept or idea? We’ll just have to wait and find out. Till then, keep visiting!

With the launch of Google's newest flagship smartphone which is the Nexus 5 with a lot of new features including Google's newest Android 4.4 KitKat, better camera and a lot of hardware improvements. Also accompanied with the improved and re-structured form of its popular Android.com. This week would probably a busy week for Team Google.

Despite of the Google's achievements and innovations, there is still lacking. Something that are yet to unveil, if when and what, that we don't know. We'll just keep updating until everything will be showed off.

In connection with the new and improved Android.com website comes a lot of new user interface that visitors will be happy about it. Surprisingly, on the Apps and Entertainment section of the re-designed android site comes a mystery gadget that is now getting its popularity on some tech blogs and forums. As you can see on the picture that was taken on Android's website, a girl is holding a tablet that is far different from Nexus 7 (2013). Its bezels are a lot thinner than the N7 and it has Kitkat on it pre-installed (because of the new status bar icons). Its screen size also is near to 8 inches, just near from the N7's 7 inches. Could it be the Nexus 8? we have no idea that is it a Nexus 8 or something

With the evidences we've gathered. There are possible reasons that could lead the mystery device as the new Nexus 8 and there are also contradicting facts that would falsify the said claim. First of all, Google didn't announce nor report some improvements to their Nexus 10 that could be the reason to be the launch of the Nexus 8. It could be that Google is trying to replace the Nexus 10 with 8. Secondly, this wasn't the first time that Google showed off their unannounced device to their promotional strategy. This happened to Nexus 5 when it showed off on a video about a KitKat statue when people was taking video on it and suddenly a man was recognized on holding a smartphone that has the nexus logo at the back. At that time, there weren't any nexus product with that size so it was evident that it will be the Nexus 5. And yes it is.

Lastly, it is also possible that it was a Google's mistake. Perhaps, that mystery tablet would have been a Nexus 7 after all. Its just that the viewing angles weren't that great so speculations were made about it. To whether that mysterious tablet be Google's next tablet or is just some Nexus 7 with improved editing. That we don't know. We only know that sooner or later, this innovation will then be revealed.

So stay tuned here for more news and squeaks about Android! What Do you think? is it the next Nexus? Let us know in the comments below.
