What does it show?
Over the past few years, Samsung’s uprising has brought this Korean phone maker closer to Android and its integration for Google Mobile Services as well as new features have been dropped first in Samsung devices.
Hence, it has been the first case user of the latest features powered by the Android ecosystem so far. On the b side, Google also buys new technologies through Samsung, such as chipsets and display panels for pixel devices.
Is it temporary?
Yes, it’s temporary, Android will go green as the day goes on or when Google decides to go traditional green.
