Google wants your Android phone to be the key to everything in your life

Regardless of operating preferences or allegiances, the smartphone is the most important computing device for most people. We use phones for a lot more stuff than their primary purpose. The apps ecosystems built to run on the hardware make them indispensable additions to daily life routines. We browse the web, consume entertainment, shop for goods, navigate our surroundings, and manage intelligent homes, all from phones. Phones are ubiquitous, and that won’t change anytime soon. If any new device should replace the smartphone, it’ll still have to perform the same tasks, albeit in a new type of user interface.

Meanwhile, Google wants the smartphone to get even better. Specifically, Google wants Android to be the key to everything in your life. The new Android Ready SE Alliance will ensure the safety standards are in place to ensure that your security isn’t compromised.
