Alternately, it could be a Canon branded Special Edition smartphone, that's "hardwired" to work perfectly with Canon cameras. Since Sony makes both conventional cameras and smartphones, I'm surprised that they haven't done that yet.

Select bits of android are open source, but real life android products like to replace those bits with. And worse, outside of a select few manufacturers, good luck trying to get the actual sources for the open source bits for the device you bought.Android is around 75% of the market and open source so don't count them out.
I doubt Google, they are not even taking care Android ecosystem properly and let people slip to the iOS. Samsung failed in the NX-mount because the hardware is behind their concept. With current tech, Samsung connectivity with RF mount/Canon computational photography+DPAF II can punch the markets, both smartphone and cameras.Contrary to the article I believe the Nothing phone would be one of the worst choices. Canon needs to find a partner that has the same reputation as they have in the photography world otherwise it would seem desperate. It's also very unlikely that a Japanese company would partner with a Chinese company, so Huawei and Xiaomi are out of question. So that pretty much only leaves Samsung, Google and Apple.
Personally I think the best win-win choice would be Google and both company's could benefit from each other.
HMD Global?Canon needs to find a partner that has the same reputation as they have in the photography world
Not Google, please. Google doesn't seem to care about longevity of their products.Personally I think the best win-win choice would be Google and both company's could benefit from each other.
That is just not true. I just sent you a chat on Google Allo to complain about thisHMD Global?

Absolutely. The Nokia brand and Canon brand together would be awesome. By the way, maybe Canon will license the Nokia brand once the license with HMD Global expires? Or they could by HMD Global completely. (See my nick if you want to know how I feel about these scenarios.)HMD Global?
