Google and Samsung unveils a phone that can challenge Apple’s iPhone

According to recent reports, Samsung Electronics has recently unveiled a phone that will thrown an open challenge to the much talked-about Apple iPhone. This Samsung smart phone will operate on Google’s latest version of the Android operating system that usually combines software that is used in the smart phones and tablets. This will increase the competition against Apple and this may spice up the dormant competition within the two technology giants.

The launch of the Galaxy Nexus, which was kicked off in November, came as a competition that gradually intensified between Apple Inc and Samsung. Both the giants are moving forward to get the largest market share in terms of the biggest supplier of tablets and smart phones. Both Samsung and Google collaborated to invent this high-end model at a technology event in Hong Kong, after delaying the launch in order to pay a tribute to the Apple co-founder, Steve Jobs. Apple, being the largest customer for microprocessors, the launch of the new competitor was done during the holiday season just when iPhone 4S was launched in the market. This was the most power-packed launch in Hong Kong in the last few months.

Since Google announced its planned acquisition of Motorola Mobility Holdings, this too marks a most memorable major roll-out from Google. Though this particular deal had raised concerns among most of the hardware makers as they thought that Google will prefer Motorola over the handset vendors like HTC, LG Electronics and Samsung, yet the new launch crossed all possible concerns of the global audience.

The Android mobile software, powered by Google is the most used smart phone platform that has already powered 190 million devices, and this was up from 135 million devices in the middle of July, 2011. The latest version of Android is called the Ice Cream Sandwich is tailored in such a manner that it will fuse the smart phone platforms and table platforms, thereby potentially attracting a larger number of application developers within the Android camp.

Samsung, being the biggest seller of the Android phones is proving to be the biggest challenge to Apple. This particular smart phone will have the capacity to access more than 300,000 games and applications in comparison to 430,000 applications from Apple’s Application store. Therefore, you should measure your steps before you take any decision about buying a smart phone this New Year. Wait for the best phone so that you can stay stylish and equipped with the latest technology.
