Eldar Murtazin has been stirring up some Android controversy lately, with his random tweets about about the Nexus line and Lenovo. It first started with him tweeting that the Nexus line was going to end next year, and that the Google Play Edition line was essentially going to take its place. Boy did that strike a cord. Without even giving it an ounce of thought, many out there infuriated and wanted Eldar to be hung from a tree for even mentioning the Nexus line was going to end. Then after the “out of left-field” announcement yesterday about Google selling Motorola to Lenovo, he tweeted out that Lenovo will make a splash in Chromebooks. That one doesn’t seem so far fetched, but then he dropped yet another doozy, and again, it is causing the community to scream at their monitors.
Lenovo will launch one of the last Nexus product 🙂 volume will be huge and it will be focused on US market.

So apparently Lenovo will make one of the last Nexus devices, and then we will bid farewell to the name. Now by all means is anyone confirming this to be true. I think a lot of readers immediately insinuate that when we post about these rumors, we are agreeing with them, so we end up taking fire. But when all said and done, it goes like this: we don’t know. Sure, we can take the biased approach and call it a bunch of BS and rant about it, or we can remain neutral and just report what we hear and give our opinions.
My opinion on the matter, is that if Google thinks it is a right decision, then so be it. Yes, Nexus devices are the core of the Android Community, but having the Google Play Editions take over is not a bad thing at all. We can scream back and forth about the good things and the bad things about the move, but that is just time wasted on something out of our control. If it’s silly rumors that Eldar is spreading, well then we can all show up at his doorstep with torches and pitch forks. If not, we will have to say farewell to the beloved Nexus phones we have loved for years. Feel free to let us know your opinion about all this, but please try to do so in a not so hostile way.
