Android-grundaren har ännu en mobil enhet på gång
Android-grundaren Andy Rubins Essential Phone skapade en del rubriker när den offentliggjordes för några veckor, till stor del av att just Rubin ligger bakom den. Men redan innan de första exemplaren av enheten har börjat levereras kommer nu uppgifter om att ännu en enhet från Essential tycks vara på gång. Det är i dokument inlämnade till Wi-Fi Alliance som en ny enhet – med ett nytt modellnummer och som kör Android Nougat – förekommer. Någon närmare information om enheten än så står inte att finna i nuläget.

He is the founder and CEO of tech startup incubator Playground Global and a partner at venture capital firm Redpoint Ventures. He is the co-founder and former CEO of both Danger Inc. and Android Inc. Andy and his wife, Rie, also own and operate Voyageur du Temps, a bakery in Los Altos, California.
After Android was acquired by Google in 2005, Rubin became the company's Senior Vice President of Mobile and Digital Content until March 2013, where he oversaw development of Android, an open-source operating system for smartphones. Rubin has seventeen patents for his inventions.
On 13 March 2013, Larry Page announced in a blog post that Rubin had moved from the Android division to take on new projects at Google. He was replaced by Sundar Pichai, who now serves as Google's CEO. In December 2013, Rubin started management of the robotics division of Google (which includes companies bought by Google, such as Boston Dynamics). On 30 October 2014 he left Google after nine years at the company to start an incubator for hardware startups. He leads Essential Products.
