        Of course it has lot to do with planned obsolescence.
        Samsung needs to keep selling phones!

              Nexus S has a Samsung built hummingbird processor.
              Not Qualcomm.

                        "...1Ghz Qualcomm Hummingbird processor..."

                        Isn't Hummingbird now re-branded under Samsung Exynos? Exynos 3 Single or known as Exynos 3110.
