Google plans to sell Samsung Galaxy Nexus on its new Google Play

Google Inc has planned to begin selling an Android handset manufactured by Samsung Electronics Co about two years after the company finished a previous effort to sell phones online.

Today Google told that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be accessible on the new-devices division of the "Play" service, which offers Android applications, music, books and movies. The scheme should better than an attempt to sell HTC Corp devices in 2010, because Play service users are already looking for Android and Google services, said Jamie Rosenberg, the Mountain View, California-based company's director of digital content.

We required offering in Google Play a great instantiation of the Google Play occurrence and the experience with Google services normally on a mobile device.

Google, which earns the majority of its money from advertising on search engine searches, is stepping up its focus on mobile devices and services. Android smartphones accounted for 51 per cent of all smartphone auctions to end consumers in the fourth sector, up from thirty one per cent a year earlier, according to researcher Gartner Inc.

While Google had presented HTC's Nexus One online in 2010, it stopped that web store after less than six months saying it remained a niche service for "early adopters" and unsuccessful to meet expectations.

The "unlocked" Galaxy Nexus handsets will cost $399 in the US and run the newest Android software version, Ice Cream Sandwich. They are intended to run on network technology that AT&T Inc and T-Mobile USA utilize, the company said. The device also comes pre-installed with Google Wallet, which lets customer make buy with the tap of a phone at some retail places.
