The original applications already in Android Google Play – The Pulse (press release) (blog)

The fragmentation has always been an issue that has weighed on Android, making the experience of the operating system Google differed greatly among devices and others. With the first Nexus, many were the ones who discovered that a different, clean and fast android was possible.

But in such a big fight fragmentation ecosystem is a complex task. Therefore, Google took some time ago a strategy for all devices could enjoy the latest version of Android not to care what operating system version montase your terminal.

The fact is that if you try to all manufacturers, with their layers of customization, upgrading engaged in no time with all terminals in its catalog we took clear.

Therefore, Google began some time ago to raise a different strategy, hanging different applications that come standard with Android in Google Play.

These movements began more than two years ago, in 2013, when we were surprised to todospublicando the Android keyboard in your store applications. So far Android applications were updated as new updates coming system of Google.

It is true that at this time were already some applications in Google Play, but the arrival of Google to keyboard all devices meant a total change in its policy. This keyboard was one of the most striking aspects of the newly introduced version 4.2 of Android and that came to all devices had Android 4.0 or higher was certainly a point that many caught off guard.

From then every time were more applications that Google has been releasing on Google Play: Now Google Launcher, photos or Google’s own application. Today we can say that the task of Google is complete.

As we have said before, we can not expect all manufacturers to update their terminals within months. Therefore, far Google has certainly been the most successful they could carry out.

By having all Google applications in the app store, users who do not see their devices updated the latest operating system can enjoy at least a large part of the new features presented.

This measure serves to make the Android experience feel much more united, enjoying Google applications in virtually all devices and approaching more to the stock Android experience.

And it really works. Although fragmentation is still not a problem of the past, these measures have helped this longer something as problematic as users we focus on other problems.

Nevertheless, updates System continue to make sense, logically, since add value to the devices, providing better optimization and performance or other characteristics, but thanks to this move Google we can all say that the Android experience today is much more unified
