Google Nexus

The Nexus is a series of Android smartphones and tablets produced by Google in co-operation with some phone-making companies. The purpose of the Nexus phones and tablets is to offer a "pure Android experience", in which the phones or tablets come free of carrier or manufacturer modifications and with an unlockable bootloader^[1] to allow for further development and end-user modification.^[2] Nexus phones and tablets were once considered the "flagship" Android devices.^{[3][4][5][6][7]} The Nexus line was later replaced with the Google Pixel.

Phones in the series:

• Nexus One
• Nexus S
• Galaxy Nexus
• Nexus 4
• Nexus 5
• Nexus 6
• Nexus 5X
• Nexus 6P

Tablets in the series:

• Nexus 7
• Nexus 9
• Nexus 10

The series also had a media streaming device known as the Nexus Q, however it was never officially released because it didn't have enough features to make it worth using.
