Google’s Assistant might come to Nexus phones after all

In one fell swoop last-place October, Google launched its brand-new Pixel telephones and killed off its beloved Nexus devices.
If you own a Nexus and still experience betrayed, there might be some good report on the horizon. 9to5Google’s Stephen Hall says he was recently told Google might deliver the Pixel’s Assistant to the Nexus 5X and 6P in a future update.
Was recently to indicate that Assistant is ultimately coming to Nexus 5X/ 6P soon with next major update.

It wouldn’t be the first Pixel feature to find its route to the Nexus. Google recently brought the Pixels’ “fingerprint swipe” gesture, which enables you to swipe up and down on a fingerprint sensor to scroll through notifications to the Nexus 5X, due to popular demand.
If Hall’s source is right, Google porting the Assistant to the Nexus 5X and 6P would be a dramatic alter in strategy for the company.
When the Pixels were announced, Google said the Assistant would be exclusive to its brand-new telephones and Google Home. The Assistant, Google announced, would be one of the the key differentiators and major selling degrees of the Pixel and Pixel XL.
Google porting the Assistant to the Nexus 5X and 6P would be dramatic shift in strategy.
But as I noted in my Pixel review, while the Assistant is good( especially at understanding context ), restriction it to simply Google hardware hurts more than it helps since it’ll simply be used by the smaller subset of Android customers who can afford to pay big bucks for a premium device.
The rest of Android’s customer the midrange and even upper-budget tier are left altogether out of the loop.
Putting the Deputy on more machines( even if they’re age-old ones) would greatly expand its user base and machine-learning abilities. I’d even argue it’s the “Google way” of doing things.
Google’s Nexus telephones might not be the only devices that will get the Assistant. Android TV’s getting it via the Nexus Player. Leaks indicate the Assistant will also make its path to the company’s two flagship Android Wear 2.0 smartwatches, which could be announced on Feb. 9. The same runs for LG’s upcoming flagship G6 telephone.
