Google's new Nexus S mobile phone series, developed in collaboration between the online search engine giant and Samsung, aims to challenge Apple's iPhone, which holds an unparalleled position in the market.
There's no doubt that this is almost an ambition shared by all phone manufacturers. However, the iPhone won't sit idly by either. In recent technological changes, Apple has significantly improved the technical level of its devices. Importantly, the experience for iPhone users is quite effortless, simplifying complex tasks with ease. Despite all phones having their imperfections, overall, the iPhone remains the phone with the fewest flaws today.
According to a senior official, Andy Rubin, Google's competitor Android system is "a crazy product designed for early adopters or the ideal assistant for tech enthusiasts." Now, over 300,000 mobile users use Android applications every day, though a considerable portion are returning customers.
One of Android's core competitive advantages lies in its diversity: countless mobile phone manufacturers use its system, and it can create different versions for phones at various price points. However, the Nexus S is its flagship version. It is the only phone so far running the most advanced version, code-named "Gingerbread," and also the only one equipped with near-field communication technology (NFC) and the latest sensors. It feels much lighter than the iPhone in hand and also lighter than high-end phones like the HTC Desire HD. Its screen has a slightly curved design, making it feel more natural and approachable whether in your pocket or on the table, with vivid visual effects identical to the fidelity of iPhone's "Retina Display." Finally, regarding battery life, there has been a qualitative improvement from previous Android versions, allowing me uninterrupted use for an entire day.
