In early 2010, Google caught everyone by surprise when it announced its own branded Nexus One Android smartphone. Dubbed "the Google phone", the Nexus One was manufactured by Taiwanese company HTC and was preloaded with Android 2.1 (Eclair) mobile operating system. To date, the smartphone has received updates to the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread.

While Google had said that it will not come up with another smartphone, the search engine giant launched the Nexus S, the successor to the Nexus One, in December 2010. Manufactured by Samsung, the Google Nexus S features the latest Android 2.3 Gingerbread and it was available for online purchase in US and UK. No luck for those of us here in Singapore then. 

Thankfully, in mid March, Samsung officially announced that the Nexus S is selling here. However, note that it is called the Samsung Nexus S rather than Google Nexus S and there's a slight difference: the Samsung Nexus S uses the Super LCD screen, while the Google Nexus S is equipped with Super AMOLED.
