Why isn't Google making their own Android phones?
Google does make Android phones… it’s called the Nexus line. But if you’re asking about why they tie up with OEMs like Huawei or LG to make the Nexus phones, instead of making their own, I think there are a few reasons for it…First, Google was primarily a software company. However, there has been a slow shift, and they are starting to make their own hardware too… For example, the Pixel C Tablet, Project Ara.Second, Google needed Android to grow before making their own hardware. If they had started making hardware from the very first version of Android, companies like Samsung, LG, HTC, etc. would never have been interested in making Android phones. Instead, each of them would have tried to build their own Operating System like Tizen OS or Bada… This is one of the mistakes Microsoft made with their Lumia line… Since Microsoft made both the hardware and software, other OEMs felt threatened by it, and decided to invest little to no effort in Microsoft’s platform.By not making hardware and relying on OEM partners, Google allowed Android to grow really big. Now, that Android is a huge ecosystem, they can make their own hardware without worrying about OEMs abandoning the platform. This is again, similar to Microsoft’s approach to laptops/PCs. Until their desktop foothold was strong, Microsoft made no Surface Pro Tablets or Surface Book laptops. Only after they had established themselves, did they venture into the hardware space.
Are the google chromebooks ok for online stock trading, email, etc. ?
it does email okay and should do trading. it is very limited compared to a laptop, judging by your other questions and the age of your current computer, I think you should pay the little extra and get a basic laptop with windows 7 or 8. It displays youtube, it is hard to click and past without using Ctrl features. It is an okay second computer, it is a notebook and has about the same capabilities and a Nexus 7. Chromebook has a keyboard. I think Chromebook is okay, not great.
What does Google make more money off? The Moto X/G or the Nexus 4/5?
Reportedly, Google sells the Nexus phones at a loss!According to this source (Teardown Reveals Google’s Moto X Costs $221 to Build), the Moto X costs just abuot $220 to manufacture. While they are selling it for about $600. So i the biggest profit margin should be on the Moto X.There is a profit on the Moto G (Source: TheVerge), but i haven't seen any numbers till now.Google runs the Nexus program in order to foster the development of Android and to introduce innovation in the Android market. The strategy is simple - building the most efficient and high-quality product. For that to happen, it is important that there is a level playing field. The selection for the manufacturer for a Nexus device happens through bidding, and Motorola is a competitor just like any other - LG, Samsung, HTC, Asus etc.Also, the major share of Google's profits is the revenue through ads and its web services. So, it is in the interest of Google to have as many Android devices in the market as possible. So, it is also in Google's interests to keep all the players, small or big, in the game. After the release of LG Nexus 4, when asked about when will there be a Motorola Nexus, CEO Larry Page had said that it was too soon for that, since they hadn't owned the company long enough. Also, Motorola's SVP of product management, Rick Osterloh said, around the same time, "We're operating as an independent OEM, so there's a firewall between us and the Android team; It's very important to the company that Android remain an open playing field. We will absolutely be one of the people considered the next time Google delivers its Nexus phone, but we're not going to receive special treatment".
