What started as a rumor has recently been confirmed. Hugo Barra , one of the most senior executives Android, leaving the computer operating system Google to join the Chinese company Xiaomi .
Hugo Barra has been one of the most responsible has achieved worldwide success Android . The enormous expansion of the operating system, reaching the major brands of mobile phone manufacturers, has been due in large part to the work of Bar, now left to face new challenges . In the five years he has worked in Google, three and a half devoted to Android , and this stage comes to an end today. Before joining Google Mobile launched LOBBY7 and worked in the Nuance team, finishing his climb in Mountain View as vice president of product management in Android. Many know him for who recently officially all the news of the new Nexus 7.
For those who do not know her, Xiaomi is a Chinese company dedicated to the design and manufacture of smartphones and other electronic devices that was founded only three years ago. It is mainly focused on selling devices in the Chinese market, and Hugo Barra now joins them as vice president for global expansion help , as the same has been reported in a publication of Google+. Xiaomi is one of the companies you have to be in the spotlight due to their low prices for smartphones that match the characteristics of some high-end, especially if you start now sold worldwide.
this post takes to say goodbye to some of those who have been his companions in this way on Android as Andy Rubin, Hiroshi Lockheimer, Sundar Pichai and Vic Gundotra.
up Hugo Barra is a great loss to the Android team , but sometimes changes are needed. From the point of view of earning a great executive Xiaomi and will start opening its market outside China, which can be a big boost for sales of its devices , especially Android smartphones, and from Google this seems a sad loss, but time will tell if his replacement helps to give a new vision, hopefully for good.
