Google Nexus facts for kids

A Google Nexus 9 tablet.

The Nexus was a special group of smartphones and tablets. Google made them together with different phone companies. These devices used the Android system.

The main idea behind Nexus phones and tablets was to give users a "pure Android experience." This means the devices came without extra apps or changes from phone companies or manufacturers. They were like a clean slate. This also made it easier for people who liked to change or customize their devices. Nexus phones and tablets were seen as the best or "flagship" Android devices of their time.
