Review by John Kennedy John Kennedy test drives the new Google Nexus S smartphone made by Samsung and believes it could be the smartphone breakthrough of 2011

here’s no doubting Google’s rapid success in the smartphone business via its Android strategy and the boon the operating system has been for both mobile manufacturers and network operators who want to spice up their offerings. Android is already beginning to overtake Apple’s iPhone as the No 1 smartphone operating system and Google is already on to its Android 2.3 ‘Gingerbread’ for smartphones and Android 4.0 ‘Honeycomb’ for tablet devices.

I believe the Google Nexus S smartphone delivers on Google’s promise of creating a smooth and seamless internet experience wherever you go. As a piece of hardware it is also, in my opinion, the best smartphone device Samsung has brought to market yet. John Kennedy, Editor of Silcon Republic
