Google and LG have already collaborated on several Nexus smartphones – the Nexus 5X is their third outing together – and there’s a very good reason why. According to Dave Burke, Vice President of Android Engineering at Google, Google loves working with LG and have built up quite the rapport over the years.
“LG Electronics is the best partner for us in engineering the Nexus smartphones. We share the same approach to the mobile device market with LG Electronics.”
“Our engineers really like to work with the people at LG Electronics. Together they have become an excellent team.”
High praise indeed. Of all the manufacturers that Google has worked with, LG has come back the most number of times, and Burke’s comments surely indicate that there will be more from the Google-LG partnership in the years to come. What’s particularly impressive about their work together this time around is that LG was able to add a fingerprint scanner to the back of the Nexus 5X with a minimum of fuss, despite the fact that none of LG’s own devices have this feature.
