Fernandez,

I was talking of the whole blend. Ofcourse Samsung will have to go back to the drawing board now that Google has a dedicated wearables Android version, but distribution and marketing will be a huge determinant as to who ends up with the numbers. As for user experience, Nexus is quite good for the geek, can't say that the average user goes for Nexus that much compared to the Sonys and Samsungs of the mobile world.

Martin, are you looking at the success in sales or final user experience or availability of the devices?

You all say the same for Nexus devices, HTC Ones and the new Moto devices,  where are they? So many factors lead to success in mobile.

Samsung will really have to fight for this one because the Moto 360 is such a beauty.
It features no ports. Its round, maintaining that authentic watch look. It has all this Moto features that really blow us away. Like the long battery life on the Moto G and the Active Display on the Moto X. Am not sure if there are any Moto retailers in Kenya  because in my opinion its the only issue that would set me back in purchasing it other than the Samsung Galaxy Gear yet to be released.
Moto are really hacking this Android thingy.

You think Samsung will let Moto 360 run with all the fame? Google has Samsung as one of the Android wearables partner.

Talk of a standalone smart watch already going on.

Its suggested that the Tizen Gear 2 was a pacer for a Galaxy Gear 2nd Generation with the Android Wear OS. Interesting times.

Looks like the Google-Samsung terms were to ensure that Samsung does not keep the Google branding and services in the back. Samsung for the longest time has put prominence in their services and the average user sees very little of Google in Galaxy devices. This has gone on to make the Galaxy brand bigger than Android among Samsung devices. 

What can be interesting even is the part where Google announced Samsung as one of the partners in smart watches, this comes just three weeks after Samsung announced Tizen running smart watches.

But why the branding, have Google terms changed? But the Pure Android devices are never available in Africa.

Nope, TouchWiz is going nowhere, but as they did with the Galaxy S4, I expect a GPE to sell in the course of the year.

Interesting change of events, the Galaxy S 5 has explicit branding for all things Google, including when the OS boots, see here https://plus.google.com/+MartinGicheru/posts/9LuhbzzibDt




Also, on the main home-screen, there is a folder with Google services once you make the first setup.
