The Galaxy Nexus was designed partly to avoid patent lawsuits from Apple, Samsung's mobile head JK Shin said in commentary on Wednesday. While he wasn't specific on what patents might be avoided or even if it would be completely cleared, he told Yonhap that there was a conscious attempt to guarantee it would stay on sale. The Galaxy Nexus notably avoids the deliberately iPhone-like home button and TouchWiz interface of phones such as the international Galaxy S II.
