Google Nexus  Is A Line Of Consumer Electronic Devices That Run The Android Operating System.  Google  Manages The Design, Development, Marketing, And Support Of These Devices, But Some Development And All Manufacturing Are Carried Out By Partnering With Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). As of August 2016, the devices currently available in the line are two smartphones, the  Nexus 6P  (made with  Huawei ) and  Nexus 5X  (made with  LG ). The line has also included tablets and streaming media players, though neither type of device is currently available. The most recent tablet was the  Nexus 9  (made with  HTC), and the most recent streaming media player the Nexus Player (made with  Asus ).

Devices in the Nexus line are considered Sex locked and may be some some extra branding. Nexus 6 devices sold through AT & T, for example, are SIM locked and feature a custom boot splash screen and a logo on the back of the device, despite having otherwise identical hardware to the unlocked variant.
The Verizon Galaxy Nexus featured a Verizon logo on the back and received software update at a slower pace than the unlocked variant, though it is featured different hardware to accommodate Verizon’s CDMA network. All Nexus devices feature an unlockable bootloader to allow further development and end-user modification.Nexus devices are always among the first Android devices to receive updates to the operating system.

With the expansion of the  Google Pixel  product line in late 2016, Google stated that they “do not want to close a door completely, but there is no plan right now to to do more Nexus devices.” In 2017 Google partnered with HMD Global in making new  Nokia  phones, which have been considered by some as a revival of Nexus.
