A new Google phone is expected to make an appearance on the market in the near future, none other than the successor of the Nexus One, which would be called, obviously, Nexus Two. The handset was said recently to be on its way to the UK market before year's end, and to be manufactured by Samsung, but nothing was officially confirmed for the time being. Some of the latest rumors suggest that we might see the device being unveiled on November 8th, during the press conference that Samsung already announced to be held in New York.

Nexus One, the first Google phone, came from Taiwanese mobile phone maker HTC, and was rumored at one point to be followed by a Next Two smartphone from Motorola, but nothing turned real in the end.

However, new reports suggested that Samsung might be on its way to launch a Google phone in the near future, and it appears that the said device would have all the chances to become the Nexus Two smartphone that Google said would never come.

On the other hand, the “Google phone” Samsung is gearing up to release might be nothing more than a device that sports no custom UI on top of the Android operating system.

As with older such devices, having the stock Android OS on board translates into delivering a Google experience. Most such phones had the “with Google” phrase attached to their names.

The new Samsung smartphone is expected to become official on November 8th with a new version of the mobile OS on board, namely Android 2.3 Gingerbread (the rumored Android 3.0 platform), and it might actually be the first device to pack the new software.

For the time being, however, nothing was confirmed on this, and we might see Samsung launching a totally different Android product on that day.

In case our supposition pans out, we would learn about a new Samsung phone that comes with stock Android Gingerbread on board, which can be called “a Google phone,” something that might not be too much of a surprise in the end.

The upcoming operating system version was said to come with a series of graphical interface changes, and there are great chances that Google decided to have the OS on devices without the user interfaces that makers usually load on them.

Whether it would be the Nexus Two or not, or a new Google phone or something else, Samsung would still unveil a new device on November 8th, so keep an eye on this space for more info on the matter.
