 Galaxy Nexus, the latest in the Nexus series |
The Nexus is a series of Android smartphones produced by Google in co-operation with selected hardware companies. The purpose of the Nexus phones is to offer a "pure Android" experience,[1] in which the phones come free of carrier or manufacturer modifications and with an unlockable bootloader[2] to allow for further development and end-user modification.[3] Nexus phones are considered the "flagship" Android devices.[4][5][6][7][8] The Galaxy Nexus, the latest in the series (as of 2012), is one of the few phones recommended by the Android Open Source Project for Android software development.[9]
