Google acquires Android performance optimizer FlexyCore in $23 Million deal Oct 22nd 2013, 16:46, by Jeff Causey Google has acquired FlexyCore in a deal valued at $23 Million in a move to accelerate efforts to optimize the Android platform to not only run smoother, but better as well. FlexyCore produced an Android accelerator called droidBooster that claimed to improve performance by a factor of ten. This was achieved by optimizing ARM binaries at build-time. Apparently the results were impressive enough that Google decided they wanted that knowledge base in house noting that FlexyCore’s “strong expertise in building software to optimize Android device performance” would fit in nicely at Google. According to reports, the deal was struck a year ago, but was just now completed this month. Google has been touting the new Android 4.4 as making “an amazing Android experience available for everybody.” It is possible some of FlexyCore’s work has already made its way into the Android ecosystem, which is why Google thinks they can bring KitKat’s improvements to more devices compared to previous releases. source: Droid Life Come comment on this article: Google acquires Android performance optimizer FlexyCore in $23 Million deal Visit TalkAndroid for Android news, Android guides, and much more!
