"The company's hardware efforts come as it wraps up development on the next version of Android, which is expected to be released in the fall," notes the WSJ report.
What's more, WSJ's sources who are "familiar with the matter" also lets on that that the new update will be "better tailored to the lower-cost smartphones" as this would look to give a boost to Android's global market share.
