Danny Sullivan. Leaders who are shaping the future of business in creative ways. New workplaces, new food sources, new medicine--even an entirely new economic system. The history of the Google Nexus One is a lesson in hype, in marketing, and how one mistake can doom an otherwise solid phone. The news prompting this retrospection? But what happened? Rumors of the mythical GooglePhone have been around for years. But as the Android family widened to include phones made by HTC , Motorola, Samsung , and Sony some with very un-Android-looking skins on top , rumors popped up that Google themselves were working on a phone they could truly call their own.

Fast forward to mid-December, So far, so good, but the real reason the Nexus 4 was to sell so well was the price. You can find out what we thought at the time in our Nexus 4 review. LG was retained as manufacturer for the Nexus 5 which landed on October 31 Google repeated the trick of offering a high end smartphone with near-flagship specs for a knock down price.

The Nexus 5 combined a 4. It featured Android 4. Admittedly the latest member of the Nexus family is a pretty serious departure from past Nexus phones, both in size and in recent pricing philosophy. Typically, Nexus devices have generally focused on great specs at a lower price but with the Nexus 6, we have entered the premium territory. The phone essentially looks like a blown up Moto X with a Nexus logo on it, and is the first Nexus phone to have a metallic frame.

While recent Nexus devices have made pretty big sacrifices in order to keep pricing low, the more expensive price point of the Nexus 6 means it packs much more powerful punch. The Nexus 6 is powered by a 2. The Li-Po mAh battery is also reasonably decent. Even bigger of a deal, the Nexus 6 is one of the first devices to offer Android 5. For what it is worth, the Nexus 6 also appears to be selling well enough, judging by the fact that the phone is still pretty hard to come by even months after its arrival.

The tablet market has been a completely different game for Google. In , Google would arguably make its first big push towards becoming a real player in the tablet market with the announcement of Android 3. In , Google would announce the Nexus 7, a curiously small 7 inch tablet. It featured an unusual form factor and came very friendly to the wallets of potential buyers. Through what was a rigorous design and production process, Google and ASUS managed to release a tablet which propelled the Nexus brand to widespread knowledge and put the 7 inch form factor into the spotlight.

The tablet also saw the debut of Android 4. There were also problems with the Nexus 4 hardware. The device's chassis is covered entirely in Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which some complained made it highly susceptible to scratches and cracks. The device also generates a considerable amount of heat, which we noted is due to the fact that it lacks the power management settings that were featured in the LG Optimus G, the sister phone to the Nexus 4.

Not content to limit itself to the 7-inch niche, Google announced its first inch Nexus tablet in partnership with Samsung, alongside the Nexus 4 and the 32GB reprise of the Nexus 7. Like the Nexus 4, it ran Android 4. At ppi, it featured more pixels-per-inch than the Retina iPad, but we thought its viewing angles and screen colors weren't quite as good. However, there have been leaks —or perhaps just very eager wishlists —pointing to another LG-manufactured Nexus 5, this time featuring a 5-inch, x pixel IPS display, as well as a 1.

This hasn't stopped speculation about new hardware, but it's possible that Google's announcements will be more about features and incremental updates to its hardware rather than pushing forth entirely new products.
