BANGALORE, INDIA: The eye-tracking feature in
Samsung's Android-based new Galaxy S4 smartphone may be one of the much
talked about features, but Sundar Pichai, the new Android head, says he
is yet to experience it!
In his first interview to Wired after taking over as the new Android boss, Sundar Pichai was quoted saying, "I actually never used it. Look, Samsung plays a critical role in helping Android be successful. To ship great experiences, you need hardware and software together. The relationship is very strong on a day-to-day basis and on a tactical basis. So, I'm not that concerned. Historically, the industry has had long stable structures. Look at Microsoft and Intel. They were very codependent on one another, but it served both of them well."

The Android boss adds there is a need for new innovations in
displays, in batteries. Samsung is a world leader in those technologies.
Android updates
To a query on complaints regarding Android's update process, Pichai
says, "We are thinking about how to make Android handle updates better.
We see ways we can do this. It's early days. We're talking with our
partners and working our way through it. We need time to figure out the
mechanics, but it's definitely an area of focus for me and for the
team."
