After ruling over the Internet, Google finally introduced itself to the mobile industry by purchasing Android Inc. in the year 2005. And then there was no looking back. The results finally showed in the launch of the first-ever Android handset 3 years later. Known as the HTC Dream, it literally made a lot of dreams do come true. Then it further revolutionalized the mobile market by the Nexus series. As if it wasn’t enough, it went on to launch the Pixel devices, which is now regarded among the best smartphones ever made. And hardly anyone could argue with that fact. Although many still argue on the aesthetic front owing to the large bezels (compared to today’s standard), it makes up for that in more than one way.
