Section 3: Place Strategy
The Nexus One was the first device that Google attempted to sell directly. Google is good at a lot of things, but direct sales/marketing/customer service for consumers (for hardware anyway) obviously wasn’t their strongpoint when they released the Nexus One.

Nexus, is not marketed by Google and is seldom marketed by its OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) like Motorola, LG and HTC either. The Devices segment of the Google Play store allows consumers to purchase Google Nexus mobile devices. Google has many options to distribute its Nexus products. But it markets its product only in Play store and all the distribution is done by its OEMs.
Google will announce the release date and the price of Nexus devices by which people can place their orders in most of the website. In India Nexus 6 is available online whereas Nexus 5 is available in most of the retail shops. Nexus 6 was recorded for pre-orders in the US late in October and all variations were accounted for to be sold out within a couple of hours. The story was the same in the UK. In India, introductory stocks were pre-booked within two days. At the point when asked by Economic Times, Flipkart did not impart the quantity of pre-orders. You 'll also be able to buy the Nexus 6 from Motorola 's website where it will in all likelihood cost the same as on Google Play.
The Nexus 6 will be available outside of the US from Google Play stores in Belgium, Australia, France, Canada, India, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. International carriers that will offer the Nexus 6 include Bell, Vodafone, Rogers, Telus, Hutch, Telcel, CPW, Electronic Partner, SFR, Orange ES, MSH, Vodafone IT, Vodafone ES, Vodafone NL and Claro. The Nexus 6 will also be available from Motorola 's website and retailers like Best Buy and RadioShack in the US.
Unlike in the past where the Nexus devices were advertised just on Google Play store, Google will make the devices accessible

    The prospect of entering into the wireless market offers Google many potential growth and development practices as well as competencies. There are also many risks associated with this strategy, including the cost of building and maintaining a billion dollar network. One particular goal that may have been in mind with this decision is the growth of Google’s vast wireless software portfolio that includes Gmail, Maps, Docs, Calendar Sync and various other applications that can be downloaded to many phones. There may have been other reasons Google chose to take interest into the wireless market such as the ownership of Youtube and its developments in a new website and java beta application that allows people to view tens of millions of videos via cell phone.…

    Apple vs. Android

    In contrast, Androids are designed for more business-centered communication, whereas Apple promotes a more media-centered communication. An example of this is that one of the main features of the iPhone series is their music and gaming capabilities; Androids do also have these features, however, do not highlight them as much. The Android Company was first created in 2003, but was relatively an unknown company until Google bought the company in August of 2005. It is thought that Google was, at the time, planning to enter into the realm of the ‘hand held mobile device’ wars…

    First of all, a wide range of Google-based smartphones and tablets is available at the most electronic retailers. All devices vary from their brand, display, camera and materials they made with. It means that we can find two completely different brands, for example, which one of them will be bigger in display size, whereas another will have relatively slower processor; in fact, they will run identically the same operating system. Unlike with the Android, the whole line of iOS phones and tabloids is differentiated by color and capacity only. It means that for the most part all features are the same. However, radically thin and light design of the latest Apple products catches buyers’ eyes for its grace, elegance and supreme shape regardless of limited choice.…

    While hypothesis still grows, one thing appears to be sure — the Mi 5 will be a powerhouse. In mid-November, following quite a while of quiet with respect to the telephone's conceivable detail, a benchmark test for a gadget codename Gemini showed up on Geekbench's site. While these can without much of a stretch be faked, it shows the Gemini running a MSM8996 Qualcomm chip — better referred to use as the Snapdragon 820 — with 3GB of RAM, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow introduced.

    One of the flaws to this type of device is security, because even though Apple and Google try to enhance their security, they could not avoid hacks and malwares among their apps. Since apps are softwares being used in smartphones, there could be many possibilities that this would be an avenue for hackers to place malwares to attack the users. To support my aforementioned statement, based from the article it was said that “apps are one avenue for security breaches.” I believe that smartphones would be much vulnerable when it comes to security.…
