Previously, outside Building 44 of Google’s Mountain View headquarters, there would be a number of Android doll-themed statues, which represent different Android system versions, and the number of statues reached 18 at the most.
But recently, Google moved the statues to a small park outside the visitor center. After a while, netizens found that the Android statue had completely disappeared, guessing that Google moved it to a non-public place.
The media contacted Google about this situation, hoping that Google would respond to the disappearance of the statue, but so far Google has not responded.
In fact, in the context of the global pneumonia in the past two years, Google’s campus has not been used for a long time, and some areas have even been closed for a long time. Although the flow of people in the park has dropped significantly, there will still be tourists who come to play and find that the situation of the Android statue is not optimistic.
“The whole area seems deserted, and the shops that used to be crowded look from the outside like those apocalyptic shops you see in video games and movies,” one reviewer said during a recent visit.
At present, netizens speculate that due to the inevitable damage to the statue due to long-term sun and rain, Google removed the Android statue for repair. Or maybe Google is secretly preparing for the reopening of Android Statue Park.
It is worth mentioning that Google has not made physical statues since Android 11, and switched to virtual statues instead, which likely means that new Android statues will not be seen in the future.
