10 best Android phones 2017: Get your Google on this year

According to Android Police, Google has sent emails to partners using Google Mobile Services (GMS) to let them know the Now launcher will be removed from the Play Store as well as the GMS package in Q1 of 2017. There's also a chance that the company will open up the Pixel launcher to work with other Android phones sooner or later -- that's exactly what it did with the Google Now launcher, after all. Fortunately, almost every Android phone out there has adopted the "swipe right on the home screen for Google search" UI convention, so you can get the most important feature of the Now launcher right there. As for how this will affect Android users, those who might buy a phone and want to replace its launcher with Google Now are out of luck. You just might need to wait a bit before you can have an official way to re-skin your phone to match the Pixel, that's all.
