They have been for a while.

OF ALL THE THINGS SAMSUNG’S NEW GALAXY NEXUS SMARTPHONE IS, THERE’S ONE THING IT ISN’T: AN IPHONE. AND THERE’S A GOOD REASON FOR THAT. SAMSUNG DESIGNED IT TO DODGE APPLE’S IPHONE IP.

Samsung has revealed its latest flagship Android-powered phone, the Galaxy Nexus, after a slight delay. Samsung and Google attributed the lateness to deference to Steve Jobs’s passing.

Now, however, thanks to statements made by Samsung’s president of mobile, Shin Jong-kyun, we know that the entire phone was designed around Apple--specifically to avoid future legal battles.

Shin spoke to the press before the launch, and noted that Samsung’s plans from now on include avoiding "everything we can" in terms of patent battles with Apple, and that it is taking "patents very seriously." The whole field is complex and it can prove hard to identify infringing patents, according to Shin, and the firm is working to make the Nexus "100 percent free" from Apple lawsuits.
