Andy Rubin, generally known as the father of Android: Here’s the big question for him what’s next? The answer part is that his new company is launching a whole ecosystem of products that will work together: a 360 camera, an intelligent assistant device for you home, and (of course) a smartphone. That last one runs Android, which is what you’d expect from any new phone maker.



The company he started to make all that is called Essential. Explaining why it existsIn a blog post, Rubin tells a typical founder story: going out for the night with his friend, talking about the technology state and how to get it fix. Funny thing, though, is that one of the problems he sees with the state of tech today involves the Operating System he helped create, Android:

No hard feelings Android has helped bring technology to almost everyone, and it has also helped create a new weird world where we are all forced to fight with the very technology that was assumed to simplify lives. Was this what we had intended? Was this the best we could do?
Rubin’s new phone called The Essential Phone is now thought based on the same operating system we know Android. But it’s presumably safe to assume that he will either try to simplify Android somehow or that it’s just a stopgap until it’s viable for Essential Phone to ship a device running its other system, Ambient OS. Or both — or neither! Rubin’s statement seems to serve both as a mea culpa and as a platform to launch something better to us.



Will the Essential phone or Ambient OS will mean less fighting with technology or Rubin is planning on building something on top of Android or supplanting it, that we don’t know yet Presumably, some of those questions will be answered at the Code conference.

All That we can say is this: Rubin has some core principles his company will come to make the 2billion device Android ecosystem a lot better one.

Below are Some of his bullet points that seem relevant:

Devices are your personal property.
We won’t force you to have anything on them you don’t want to have.
We will always play well with others. Closed ecosystems are divisive and outdated.
Devices shouldn’t become outdated every year. They should evolve with you.

Hmmm....

Waiting for this

But wait, why is he called father of android??

Rubin’s new phone called The Essential Phone is now thought based on the same operating system we know Android.

The Essential Phone costs $699 with top-of-the-line specs and features.
Andy Rubin claims that the Essential phone’s titanium and ceramic build is better able to withstand a drop test.

Question is when this will be release??

The phone is expensive. but it's a good direction they are headed.
