Six Becomes Two; Google Play Edition Devices Showing up Out of Inventory

If you take a gander in the Play Store and are looking to maybe pull the trigger on picking up a Google Play Edition device, your options to do so just got really small. While the list of devices is still present, four of the six listed have all gone out of stock. The Sony Z Ultra, the HTC One (2013), LG G Pad 8.3 and the Samsung Galaxy S4 are not available for purchase.

We saw the Sony Z Ultra and the HTC One M7 (2013) models take a permanent price cut not all that long ago and it lead many of us to believe they were on their way out the door. Lets face it, they can’t keep making them indefinitely. While many of us would like them to keep them around for a couple of years and just keep dropping prices.

This leaves you with the option of picking up a HTC One M8 (2014) or the Moto G (both 8 and 16 GB still appear available).

Let the speculation begin! It is feasible to believe that with Google I/O next week that the OEM’s will be announcing their new replacements for the older devices. We saw a flub up in April where the Galaxy S4 GPE small device image had been replaced with a Galaxy S5 image. Prior to that it was reportedly spotted in a Bluetooth SIG as well. Sony could be bringing in the Xperia Z2, which would make me smile quite a bit. We will have to just wait and see if Google I/O produces the answers to the plethora of questions that are running through our heads right now.
