    Google's new "superphone" the Nexus has just been released. Important stats are: 3.7 inch OLED screen, 1GHz processor, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support , is 11.5mm thick, comes with GPS, has a five megapixel camera with flash, a proximity sensor and accelerometer and has removable storage via MicroSD.

    Seems good enough....and about time the androind OS was tested in the real world.

    More on the release here: http://www.v3.co.uk/v3/news/2255645/google-confirms-release-nexus

    I'm sure it's decent feature wise, but honestly I don't play video games on my iphone - not graphic intensive ones at least... I use it for work and internet... for me it's perfect. As for google phone we need to test in real life first!

    It might not be the best out there but it surely a great start for Google Phone and could be a hard competition to Apple's Iphone..
