At this point in time, anything can be true –that is, in regards to the leaked images of what is allegedly the Samsung-made, Google-branded Nexus S. Getting down to the bottom of things is pretty hard when neither Google nor Samsung seems to have any intention of making an official statement regarding the issue.
One initial concern is whether this is really going to be a Google branded Nexus smart phone or simply a new Galaxy model. Considering that Samsung is already an Android manufacturer, it would be easy for anyone internally to leak images or details of what is actually a Samsung branded phone and have it labeled as a Google device (or quite literally, have the Google logo edited into the digital image). It is also important to remember that Google has specifically stated that there would be no sequels to the Nexus One.
Mincing words however, that alone will not disprove the Nexus S. In fact, Google did specifically say that there would be no Nexus “2”. But a Nexus S on the other hand, is a completely different thing.
Also, Google specified that the main purpose of the original Nexus One is that that device was not made for profit. Instead, Google wanted a smart phone that would be used as a new standard and benchmark for many other devices using the Android OS. Naturally, one device alone cannot serve that purpose forever. With technology moving forward constantly, Google will have to come up with new Nexus devices every now and then to keep up with the pace.
As one would expect, the specs from the Nexus S are closely similar to that of the Galaxy S (the same applied to the Nexus One and the HTC Desire). The device will come with a 5 mega pixel snapper, a 1GHz processor and most importantly, a 4 inch super AMOLED capacitive touch screen display.
