>I'm actually beginning to feel bad for the Android vendors.

I don't, I think I paid a fair price for my smartphone (LG-D280f) considering all the crap it comes bundle with (which I can't uninstall) and that I'll never get operating system updates. Even so I still like LG smartphones. I even recommend this brand!

> The one who makes most of the profit in this case is Google

And Microsoft do who basically gets money on every Samsung and HTC Android device because patents.

And let's wait the conclusion of Google vs Oracle case, it might be a game changer. If Oracle wins , it won't be so easy anymore for Google.

I really hope that the Oracle VS Google thing might encourage Google to release a new official language for Android that is not Java.

I'm surprised Google hasn't made a bigger push with Go on Android. It seems like there's some rudimentary support, so maybe it's on the way.

I'm curious how many owners of these sub-$50 phones actually go on to purchase stuff on the Play Store.
