A report by financial analysts at Seeking Alpha suggests that Google has come adrift with its smartphone hardware strategy.
Seeking Alpha claims the Nexus programme does not now include the kind of devices most people would rush out to buy.
And even devices like the joint Google-HTC One GPe – which the analysts describe as the “Rolls Royce” of five inch Android smartphones is in a spot of bother. Because it’s sold out.
The Nexus 5 is last year’s model with an ancient Qualcomm 800 CPU and less memory.
The Nexus 6 is sold out but anyway it’s too big because few want a six inch screen. The Motorola G isn’t sold out but it’s last generation.
Seeking Alpha Analyst Anton Wahlman says that everything Google is selling on its site is sold out, suggesting the behemoth is losing its way on the hardware front. You can read more of what he has to say about the debacle, here.
