in the United States to pre-hit special editions HTC One and Galaxy S4, which are controlled by a clean version of Android. It turns out, however, that may not be the device so attractive as it may seem.
HTC One and Galaxy S4 Google Edition
/ press release
As new variants handsets were announced, many saw it as the perfect products; popular smartphone for instant wy?rubowanej specifications and system updates? Sounds great. There are not missing here a small hook. Editors at AnadTech had the opportunity to look more closely at the two devices, and found that in both cases the kernel has been modified by the manufacturers. This means that the software before you hit the decks smartphones have passed the stop at developers of Samsung and HTC. And so it is for each of the next update.
The reason for this is, of course, manufacturers of hardware accessories, such as buttons below the screen, the system Beats Audio HTC One or a set of additional sensors in the Galaxy S4. For this second gradient background familiar with the pure Android are also listed on the uniform black, which is a nod to a AMOLED screen. This requires software modifications, which will be responsibility of equipment manufacturers.
It is not entirely clear exactly how it will look issue updates for these smartphones. It is possible that Google will make available the source code for subsequent releases Android to Samsung and HTC that you manage to have time to update their products at the same time Nexusami. It is possible that the search engine giant will indeed requires it.
If, however, the two companies have in terms of updating a free hand, it can be expected even a few weeks delay. This, unfortunately, would kill the greatest advantages of the new product line Google Edition. Of course, at the moment these are just mere wishful thinking, and everything turns out only when the smartphone will see the first update. But it seems that after all it may take a while. Although in this case is just better.
Shipping new variants of the HTC One and Galaxy S4 starts since July 9 only. Meanwhile, the official promotional graphics both smartphones appears at 4:30. It is widely known that Google loves in this way imply versions of its system, so apparently the device right out of the box will work under the supervision of Android version 4.3.
