Google's Nexus phones will reportedly be replaced by premium Android Silver handsets

This is so sad man

Not to worry, the whole Android Silver initiative is to take the Nexus concept and make it better. No more whining about lack of SD cards or non-removable batteries.

@ashrr This could be subjective. Eighter its going to be HTC making a GPE device or HTC making a phone which google want.

However the price point of Nexus was very appealing.

True but as far as I know, Android Silver aims to bring more Nexus like devices at all price ranges.

Nexus phones will reportedly be replaced by premium Android Silver handsets. So, there still is a way, which is slightly expensive.

So now that the dust has settled:

• Android Silver - Premium segment
• Google Nexus - mid segment developer phones
• Android One - Low end

Will there be any more nexus devices ? nothing was announced.

Dave Burke head of the Nexus program has said that Nexus program is not going to be put aside.

hmm, advantage of nexus was you get the latest updates. Now you will be able to get that on a low/mid end (one) as well as high end (silver)

So what is the point of nexus now. Why would you want a nexus ?

devs will want but what about non-devs.

Because Android One phones are pretty ultra low end running Mediatek processors at a price of less than $100 USD (Kinda like Moto E). Nexus devices will still give you flagship performance at a great price.
