SAN FRANCISCO: Google on Tuesday officially unveiled its own smart phone, which represents the Internet search giant's strongest challenge against Apple's popular iPhone.
Dubbed Nexus One, the new handset is an exemplar of what's possible with mobile phones on Google's Android operating system, Google executives said at a press conference held at the company's headquarters in Mountain View, in the U.S. state of California.
Google said Nexus One belongs in an emerging category of devices that it calls "super phones."
The new smart phone, featuring a 3.75-inch OLED display, is expected to be sold directly to consumers.
