Google silently drops all but three devices from Play edition listings

There’s something bizarre going on at Google Play. If you visit the site’s Devices section and take a look at its Google Play edition listings, you’ll notice that it’s been pared down to just three devices: the HTC One M8, Samsung’s Galaxy S4 and the Moto G. For one reason or another, devices like Sony’s Z Ultra and last year’s HTC One M7 are missing in action.

So what’s going on? Replacement devices? Android Silver? The site has a bug? We’re not sure. In an effort to find out, we’ve reached out to Google regarding the Play Store’s sudden inventory change and if we hear anything new, we’ll be sure to update things here accordingly.
