Verizon comercializará los teléfonos Nexus de 2016 y les cambiará el nombre

The Nexus Marlin and Nexus Sailfish are two 2016 Nexus phones on the way from Google in September. We’ve seen enough rumors to believe the contrary. Yet, for all we’ve seen, we’d much rather hear it from those who know that see photos that could easily be photoshopped. Well, we’re back to bring more confirmations from Evan Blass (a.k.a. @evleaks).

On his Twitter page three days ago, one of the most renown leakster who confirmed some important details for Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 leaked some important details about the 2016 Nexus phones. “Verizon is going to carry the two ‘Nexus’ handsets (note the quotation marks).” These words suggest that yes, Verizon will carry the two 2016 Nexus phones, which will prove a relief to carrier customers who want to select their next Nexus phone alongside the Samsung, HTC, LG, and Motorola devices out there at the forefront of carrier offerings. Last year’s Huawei Nexus 6P wasn’t so fortunate to arrive at carriers, and the Nexus 6 didn’t turn out too well with Big Red (considering it was released at the wireless giant months after it had been out elsewhere).

Evan Blass says something else here, though: the 2016 Nexus phones will be “Nexus” handsets with a “note the quotation marks” comment made afterward. This response may seem odd to some, but it suggests that the 2016 Nexus phones will not actually carry the “Nexus” branding at America’s top wireless carrier.

Esto puede parecer un movimiento terrible, pero por alguna razón, parece ser el movimiento que el transportista está dispuesto a hacer para vender el dispositivo allí. Por alguna razón, es el derecho que tienen las operadoras a incorporar un dispositivo a su stock y venderlo al público consumidor. Esto ya se ha hecho antes más de un par de veces: allá por 2008, AT&T renamed the “HTC Touch Pro” the “HTC Fuze“; the HTC Vigor was rebranded as el DROID Incredible HD before it launched later that season. Of the 4 big carriers, only AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint launched the Samsung Galaxy S2 — with Sprint renaming the Galaxy S2 “Epic 4G Touch” antes de colocarlo delante de los clientes.

Verizon lanzó al público el HTC One M8 Mini en el verano de 2014, pero lo rebautizó como el HTC One Remix instead. The LG Optimus LTE, the origin of the famous “G” smartphone series, pasó a llamarse LG Nitro HD en AT&T back at the end of 2011 when it arrived. Even outside of the 4 major carriers, there is some rebranding for lesser-known smartphones from high-end Android OEMs: in the case of US Cellular, the carrier rebranded the LG Cosmos Touch as the LG Attune. This year, the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 4s was rebranded by Vodafone as “Vodafone Smart Platinum 7“. So, with this said, even high-end smartphones such as the Nexus line are susceptible to rebranding. No smartphone line, with the exception of a few popular high-ends (the Galaxy S and Note lines, and the iPhone line, for example) are immune, though — since their sales are tied directly to their brand name.

Los teléfonos Nexus de 2016 contarán con una gran tecnología basada en las tendencias actuales del mercado, y Google hará que las cámaras de sus smartphones sean aún mejores que las del año pasado. Puedes ir aquí para consultar nuestra cobertura de Nexus.
